To promote his 2006 series (which had a Filipino-dubbed version, btw), Lee Dong Wook visited the Philippines and had a special guest appearance in the Pinoy noontime show, ABS-CBN’s Wowowee. The show’s host, Willie Revillame, introduced Wookie as "Julian", his character from My Girl. And when he entered the stage, you bet the crowd went wild!
Lee Dong Wook, or Wookie, was serenaded by the show’s other hosts, including Mariel Rodriguez, with the drama’s OST, “My Girl”, and Yeng Constantino’s “Sabihin Mo Na.” Tbh he seemed a *little* culture-shocked, but he was still sooooo adorable even in an awkward situation!
Wookie then greeted his fans with “Magandang tanghali po!” which, uhm, we replayed thrice. Willie asked him if he had a girlfriend and when he said no, the host followed his question with “What do you like in a girl?”. Wookie replied (through an interpreter) and said that he likes a smart and wise woman.
The talented actor also mentioned that he finds Filipinas really beautiful and attractive, and Mariel was a big mood when she said: “I love you, too.” LOL! Wookie revealed that prior to his visit to the country, he didn’t know he was that popular—and that it felt great that he is loved by his fans. Before he left the stage, he thanked everyone in Filipino: “Mahal ko kayo, kapamilya. Maraming salamat po.” We had the biggest smile after watching this part!
Here’s the entire video of Wookie’s appearance in Wowowee for you to enjoy:
