“I have only really dated twice. When I’m working for a show, I become conflicted. The person I like and the female lead of the show pose a psychological tug-of-war in my head,” Joo Won explained.

“I like the movie ‘Notebook.’ It’s the kind of authentic melodrama I want to act in. A love where both sides are helplessly infatuated,” the actor said.

His ideal woman is one who has “a pretty backline and a pot belly with big heart.” If he falls in love he would commit a hundred percent, “When I fall in love I stay in love. I think true affection comes from never thinking about leaving each other,” he said.

In this episode of “Healing Camp,” Joo won sang a verse from musical “Don Quixote,” showing off his musical skills.
