Im Woo-il reveals he rejected Kim Young-hee's dozens of confessions

Comedian Im Woo-il is set to reveal his extraordinary connection with Kim Young-hee. Interest is surging as it is revealed that Kim Young-hee confessed her feelings to him dozens of times over a four-year period before her marriage, but he rejected them all.

In the episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros' airing on the 15th, Nam Ho-yeon, Hwang Je-sung, Im Woo-il, and Kwak Beom—who have been gaining attention through 'Comedy Short League'—will appear. The four are expected to turn the studio into a sea of laughter as they pour out unrestrained revelations and private episodes possible only between close friends.

The most eye-catching story of the day is the relationship between Im Woo-il and Kim Young-hee.

Im Woo-il reveals that Kim Young-hee confessed to him dozens of times during the approximately four years before she married. However, Im did not accept her feelings each time. The members' attention is focused on the fact that this was not just a one-time happening, but a courtship that lasted for a long period.

With Kim Shin-young adding her own eyewitness account, curiosity is growing about what actually happened between the two.

In particular, it is reported that Im Woo-il played a special role at Kim Young-hee's wedding. At the time of her wedding, he held her hand and walked down the aisle in place of her father.

The fact that he walked the aisle holding the hand of a colleague who had once confessed to him dozens of times shows that their relationship was more special than just being colleagues in the comedy industry.

In this broadcast, not only Im Woo-il but also the private stories of the other cast members will be revealed in succession.

Kwak Beom explains the background of how his nickname 'Jang-Ka-Seol-Beom' was created. He honestly confesses his experiences with various procedures, such as hair transplants and titanium lifting, stating that he has invested tens of millions of won solely into appearance management.

Hearing this, Im also delivers another twist by making a surprise confession about having undergone plastic surgery. The gap between the image he usually shows on comedy stages and his actual appearance management methods is expected to create laughter.

Hwang Je-sung reveals an anecdote involving Seo Jang-hoon.

During the filming of the variety show 'The Ballad of Us,' he and his wife greeted Seo Jang-hoon, but Seo only acknowledged them with a hand gesture. Kwak Beom did not stay silent either.

Kwak brings up an incident where he met Kang Ho-dong at a restaurant, revealing that although he greeted him along with his KBS 27th class colleagues, Kang Ho-dong did not pay the bill and simply left the spot.

Instead of the heartwarming stories one might expect from a senior-junior relationship, a flood of thoroughly realistic episodes poured out, which reportedly heated up the atmosphere on set.

Nam Ho-yeon's unique self-introduction also promises laughter.

Describing himself as a "stray cat of the variety world," he compares Hwang Je-sung, Im Woo-il, and Kwak Beom to "house cats." He explains that unlike himself, the three of them have 'owners' and live stably in cat towers.

He then brings up another revelation regarding Im Woo-il. Nam makes Im flustered by revealing, "Im Woo-il said we shouldn't greet Min Kyung Hoon and should just pass by his waiting room."

Ultimately, this episode of 'Knowing Bros' is expected to be a time that simultaneously shows the jokes and intimacy possible between long-time colleagues as they expose each other's weaknesses.

In particular, as the past history of Im Woo-il and Kim Young-hee—where he "rejected dozens of confessions over 4 years"—is revealed, attention is focused on what story lies between the two and why Im held her hand and walked into her wedding in place of her father.
