Wooyoung and Shin Bora share a ‘SamGaeTang Kiss’ on Gag Concert?

2PM‘s Wooyoung made an appearance on the most recent episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Gag Concert – Discoveries of Life‘.

During his portion of the episode, Wooyoung transformed into a ‘cute yet sexy beast-dol‘ for comedian Shin Bora and showcased his extreme ‘Celebrity Syndrome‘ as part of the comedy. When comedian Song Jun Geun came up to the star saying it’s a coming together of the ‘cutlass’ and ‘anchovy’, Wooyoung replied incongruously to the question, “No pictures. I can’t take personal photos.” In addition, when Kim Ki Ri offered the singer the menu folder, he again replied, “I’ll sign that for you later“, of out no where. He even mistook his boss’s text message as proof of ‘stalking’ of a crazed fan.

The 2PM member did not hesitate with the corny lovey-dovey scenes either. When Shin Bora tried to dip a piece of chicken in salt to feed the singer, Wooyoung stated, “I wanna dip them on your lips“, stealing the hearts of the female audience. The highlight of the show was Shin Bora and Wooyoung’s ‘SamGaeTang kiss’.

Although the on-screen couple seemed “oh-so in love”, when Song Jun Geun asked Shin Bora, “If Taecyeon and Wooyoung both confessed to you at the same time, would you have picked Wooyoung?” she would not give a straight answer, humiliating Wooyoung.
