"W's" star Lee Jong Suk, 26, appears to have turned into "Doctors" star Park Shine Hye after another man is eyeing the 26-year-old actress. Latest reports claimed that Taiwanese actor Darren Wang, also known as Wang Da Lu, is keen on doing any project as long as Park is on it.
On July 13, Wang held a fan meeting at Ewha Women's University, Seoul, South Korea. At the press conference for the event, the 25-year-old Taiwanese actor expressed interest in the world of Korean dramas.
"I do not know if any Korean people have seen my productions, but I am very interested in appearing in Korean dramas," Soompi quoted Wang as saying before a predominantly Korean crowd. "I think Korean productions do a good job of presenting the perfect texture of a drama."
Wang, who starred in the hit Taiwanese romance film "Our Times" (2015), goes ahead to express his desire to work with Park and "Autumn in my Heart" actor Won Bin, 38. He added, "If I could act with Park Shin Hye, I would play any role. I want to play brothers with Won Bin. It would be nice if we were both killers too."
On May 24, Wang revealed that his first love is actually Park by posting her photo on Instagram. He tagged the Korean actress in the post, which comes with a Hangul caption that reads, "She is my first love."
Meanwhile, Park and Lee were rumored to date when they filmed "Pinocchio" in 2014-2015. The dating rumors started after the Korean media outlet Dispatch reported that the on-screen couple has taken their relationship to the next level.
Not long after the news made a noise, a slew of pictures and video of the duo on their supposed dates popped up in the online world. However, both sides immediately denied the dating rumors, stating that Lee and Park were close friends even before they filmed "Pinocchio."
"They only went abroad together for their photoshoot after their drama, they're not a couple," Lee's agency at the time, Wellmade Yedang, told the local media outlets. "Lee Jong Suk did not even know photos of them were taken. Many said that they looked good together while filming their drama so that's why it was probably perceived that way, but they are just close friends."
