Throwback: Rowoon's astounding reaction when he was playfully dubbed 'Uncle' in front of Park Eun Bin

Here's an engaging throwback to an unforgettable moment when SF9's Rowoon found himself at the centre of laughter when child actress Choi Myung Bin playfully dubbed him an "uncle" in front of his co-star Park Eun Bin. The incident occurred during the KBS Drama Awards on December 31, 2021, where Choi Myung Bin received the Best Actress Award for her outstanding performance in the K-drama ‘The King's Affection’, where she shared the screen with Rowoon and Park Eun Bin.


In her acceptance speech, Choi Myung Bin expressed her gratitude to the entire cast and crew, singling out Park Eun Bin and Rowoon for special mention. However, it was her affectionate use of the term ‘Eun Bin Unnie’ (sister) for Park Eun Bin and ‘Rowoon Samchun’ (Uncle) for Rowoon that turned the moment into a comedic highlight.


Rowoon's initial joy quickly turned to surprise when he heard the unexpected moniker, as he realized he had been affectionately referred to as "uncle". Given that Rowoon is four years younger than Park Eun Bin, who was addressed as a sister, the moment of stunned realization added an extra layer of humour to the situation. The charming and unexpected incident went viral, resonating not only with the live audience but also captivating fans who found the playful exchange delightful.


‘The King's Affection’, the drama that brought this amusing interaction to the forefront, revolves around a young princess raised as a prince after her brother's death. Choi Myung Bin played the role of the younger version of Park Eun Bin in this Sageuk drama, where her character navigates the challenges of concealing her true identity. The narrative unfolds as she forms a connection with her teacher, Jung Ji Un, portrayed by Rowoon, leading to a heartfelt and captivating story. While the drama explored serious themes, this off-screen moment added a touch of light-heartedness, making it a cherished memory for both the cast and fans alike.
