In high school, Cha Eun-woo had his first love. They hadn't been together long before she dumped him for being too clingy.
When he told this story on a variety show, the whole internet was stunned. Netizens wondered how amazing and beautiful his first girlfriend must have been. Some said she must regret breaking up with him and must have tried to contact him to get back together.
But Cha Eun-woo knew she hadn't.
He was the one who regretted ignoring her messages out of spite and letting her slip away. He was the one constantly asking their old classmates about her and keeping tabs on her every move through a secret Instagram account. He was the one who wanted to get back together. He was the one who hadn't moved on from a relationship that had ended long ago.

In high school, Won Seong-eo had a boyfriend who was ridiculously handsome and gentle, but incredibly clingy.
So she dumped him.
But even though they had split up, it seemed their feelings hadn't.
After returning to Korea, she went to see him perform on a music show, went to his concert, and went to his fan signing event.
Then, in front of a huge crowd, she appeared and announced to him:
[Cha Eun-woo, I'm back.]

Everyone in K-pop knows there's an incredibly talented music producer in the industry: W.
For the past few years, K-pop fans everywhere have unanimously agreed that W is the undisputed "God of Music Production"! Every song she writes is a high-quality hit, and she's so in demand that people have to pay a fortune and wait in line. The queue of artists asking her to write songs stretches five years into the future.
Several third- and fourth-tier Korean groups made their comebacks with songs she wrote and got signature hits of their own. Plenty of popular groups also made it onto the Billboard charts and won Song of the Year awards thanks to her songs.
Fans of every K-pop idol spend their days wishing that God W would work with their favorite idols. They pray their companies will do the right thing, wave their wads of cash, and beg God W to grant their idols a song that will send them soaring.
When the usually elusive God W, who never appeared in public, showed up to accept an award at a ceremony, the fans screamed with excitement. Then they all began fighting to make her their sister-in-law.
Fans of every group: Korean men are going to date eventually anyway, so why not find myself a sister-in-law!
But the winner of this battle, thick with smoke and strife, was someone nobody could have expected.
"Why is Cha Eun-woo even in this competition? That's not fair!"
"Cha Eun-woo, are you kidding me with that face? We spent months fighting for nothing!"
"Cha Eun-woo killed all the men in this contest with his face. Everyone, give him a round of applause!"
"The fans of Cha Eun-woo didn't even join the battle for a sister-in-law, but they still won. Is this what they call winning by doing nothing?"
"Ahhh, sister-in-law! My sister-in-law! Kisses, kisses, kisses!"
