Choo Young Woo First Love: A 'Slow Motion' Encounter

During a recent interview, the actor recalled his high school days. He described a moment in the auditorium where 400 students were gathered. The girl who ranked 1st in the class placement test was called to the front, and Choo Young Woo claims seeing her walk to the podium felt like it was happening in slow motion.

Determined to be closer to her, he studied relentlessly to bridge the academic gap. His efforts paid off—not only did his grades improve, but they also started dating. Although they eventually drifted apart as he pursued acting in Seoul, he noted that she eventually attended a prestigious university, a fitting end to their academic romance.
