Hwang Hee Chan then spoke about netizens calling him Yeo Jin Goo due to their resemblance, stating that he greatly appreciated the nickname and welcomed the idea of fans giving him more nicknames in the future.
It’s one of my favorite nicknames. Everybody seems to know (my nickname) these days, and so many people tease me by calling me that. I am having fun with it, so it doesn’t matter whatever nickname you give me.

When told that Yeo Jin Goo had liked the meme as well, Hwang Hee Chan jokingly told the actor to be more original before thanking the actor and stating he’d like to meet the actor.
Jin Goo, stop copying me. I’m just playing, but thank you. Next time it would be great to have an opportunity
