Actor Chu Young Woo recently spilled some personal details about his dating style and ideal type on Treasure Box 3, where he appeared as a special guest thanks to Hong Seok Cheon’s personal invitation!

On February 4, Hong Seok Cheon’s Treasure Box dropped a new episode titled "The Top Gay Who Fell for His Friend’s Son, Chu Young Woo – Treasure Box Season 3 EP.02." Even before the actor arrived, Hong Seok Cheon couldn’t contain his excitement, saying, "I can’t stay calm. The moment I saw Chu Young Woo, my heart started racing. He’s the top rising star of 2025, and even his nostrils are handsome!"

Hong Seok Cheon made sure to personally reach out to Chu Young Woo on social media, posting a screenshot of him from JTBC’s The Tale of Mrs. Ok on his Instagram Story and even sliding into his DMs with a message: "Handsome Young Woo, it would be so fun if you appeared on Treasure Box. You give off the same vibe as Byeon Woo Seok, so I think people will love it."

Chu Young Woo admitted he was surprised but honored by the invite. "I was playing games at home with a friend when I got the DM. I was shocked but also really grateful that you watched my drama and invited me," he shared. Hong Seok Cheon was full of praise, saying, "Once in a while, someone shakes up the Korean entertainment industry. Last year, it was Byeon Woo Seok. This year, it’s Chu Young Woo. When I get this feeling, I can’t just sit still. I invited him, and he immediately said, ‘I’ll try to adjust my schedule.’ He’s such a kind person."

The rising star also opened up about his ideal type, saying, "I like people who have strong preferences, not just in personality but in little things like fashion or their favorite scents."

But when it comes to dating, Chu Young Woo confessed that he’s not as bold as his drama characters. "In dramas, I play straightforward characters, but in real life, if I really like someone, I get too nervous. I become speechless or totally freeze. Even sending a simple message on KakaoTalk makes me overthink."

With his growing popularity, Chu Young Woo is quickly becoming a fan favorite worldwide. After wrapping up JTBC’s The Tale of Mrs. Ok on January 26, he also appeared in the Netflix original The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, which premiered on January 24. And he’s not stopping there! Fans can look forward to seeing him in the upcoming Netflix series Square and tvN’s Gyeonu and Seonyeo.
