Studies have shown that if you like someone enthusiastically, you forget the pain as if you took a strong pain reliever.
Choi Woo-sik, who has recently been active in the SBS romance drama “Our Beloved Summer,” has personally proved the above results of such research at Stanford University in the United States. In 2013, Choi Woo-sik appeared on SBS’s “Heartbeat” and experienced the lives of 119 rescue workers. There, Choi Woo-sik met fan A.
A fell on the road and suffered a bruise on her head, so she needed urgent emergency measures. A was in pain holding her head and shedding tears, stopped crying when she met Choi Woo-sik while being transported in an ambulance.
Afterwards, A shyly confessed that she was a fan of Choi Woo-sik. Choi Woo-sik tried to ease the serious atmosphere by joking, saying, “We met by fate.” At the same time, Choi Woo-sik asked, “It hurts a lot, doesn’t it?” and wiped the blood for her.
Mr. A said, “It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt as oppa wiped it off for me,” created laughter. A, who was an older “fangirl,” also made viewers laugh by calling the younger actor “Woo-sik oppa.”
Soon after, however, A said awkwardly, “You’re younger than me, but I keep saying oppa…” A paramedic who was watching this expressed sympathy with A, saying, “If you like someone too much, he can be your oppa.”
A got into an ambulance in a serious situation, but at the end, she celebrated the day for becoming a “successful fan” by taking pictures with Choi Woo-sik and seemed to have forgotten the pain.
Meanwhile, SBS variety program “Heartbeat” is a program in which celebrities work with firefighters and reflect on their noble spirit of sacrifice.
The program ended with favorable reviews.
