Gag Concert’s new star Oh Nami has revealed her unique relationship with TVXQ’s YoungWoong Jaejoong.
Through an interview with Sports Donga, Oh Nami revealed that her hometown was Gongju, Chung Cheong Province, and introduced YoungWoong Jaejoong as a ‘hometown friend’.
“Because Gongju is such a small place, kids with talent became popular very quickly. Although YoungWoong Jaejoong is younger than me, we went to the same supplementary academy.” Oh Nami, who was a track athlete until high school, said that YoungWoong Jaejoong played a large role in making her pursue her dream of becoming a comedian.
“As I was living in a rural town, I just wandered because I didn’t know how to become a celebrity. But then I heard that YoungWoong Jaejoong became a trainee at SM Entertainment and I gained the courage to pursue my dream from that fact,” said Oh Nami. She also added that, “I saw YoungWoong Jaejoong never give up his dream of being a singer and then finally achieve it, so I decided to pursue my own dream no matter what came in my way.”
Even though six years have passed, Oh Nami still remembers the name and newspaper that printed the first article about YoungWoong Jaejoong which showed that her memories of the idol member are quite special to her.
After graduating from university, Oh Nami went on to a graduate school in Seoul and debuted as part of KBS’ 23rd Comedian group in 2008. She is currently gaining popularity in KBS 2TV’s ‘Gag Concert’ corner ‘Solo Heaven, Couple Hell’. Last year, she received the Rookie Award at the KBS Entertainment Awards and proved her skills as a successful comedian.
