Seo In Guk Tells Story Of How He Was Once Rejected On The Most Awkward Ferris Wheel Ride Ever

May 24, 2021

Seo In Guk has shared the story of the most embarrassing rejection he’s ever experienced!

On the latest episode of SBS’s “My Little Old Boy,” Seo In Guk stole the hearts of the celebrity moms while making an appearance as a special MC.

At one point during the episode, host Seo Jang Hoon remarked, “You mentioned that you used to always get rejected whenever you confessed your feelings to someone.” When Seo In Guk confirmed that it was true, Shin Dong Yup asked, “What’s the most crushing rejection that you remember?”

Seo In Guk replied with a laugh, “I’ve told this story before, but there was once an older girl that I liked. My friend had a girlfriend, and he was trying to set me up with one of her friends, so he introduced me to her. I ended up liking her, so I tried to meet up with her a lot through the couple that we were friends with.”

“We wound up going to an amusement park,” he continued, “and my friend gave me the signal. ‘Today is the day. You need to confess your feelings or do something to settle this today.’ So I agreed, and I decided that I should confess my feelings to her while riding the ferris wheel.”

Shin Dong Yup cracked up as the actor went on, “But I miscalculated the timing. Because I’d never ridden a ferris wheel before. I should have at least waited to confess my feelings after we’d starting coming down from the summit, but I was so nervous that as soon as we got on, I immediately blurted out, ‘I have something to say.’ Then I started singing [Wheesung’s] ‘Can’t We.'”

“I sang the beginning of the song, and then I said, ‘Go out with me,'” recalled Seo In Guk. “And she said, ‘Sorry. I only see you as a dongsaeng [younger brother or friend].’ She turned me down right when the ride had just started, and then the two of us sat in dead silence for the rest of the ride as we went around the entire wheel. I still start sweating whenever I think about that ride.”

Shin Dong Yup commented, “That’s good to keep in mind. If you’re going to confess your feelings on a ferris wheel, you should wait until you’re in the last quarter of the ride.”

However, Seo In Guk hilariously interjected, “Personally, I think you should just stay off the ferris wheel. If you’re going to confess your feelings, make sure to never get on a ferris wheel.”
