VIDEO: Choo Sung Hoon Sweats After Accidentally Bringing Up His Dating History
Korean-Japanese MMA fighter Choo Sung Hoon, who is married to Japanese model Yano Shiho, found himself sweating bullets after accidentally bringing up his past girlfriends.

In a recent episode of the Netflix series "Try? Choo-ry!," Choo Sung Hoon, Kim Jae Joong of K-pop boy group JYJ, and comedian Lee Chang-ho were seen chatting together.

While discussing cultural differences in dating, Choo Sung Hoon noticed that Kim Jae Joong seemed to know a lot about Japanese women. 

Curious, he asked, "How do you know all this? Have you dated a Japanese girl or something?"

Kim Jae Joong burst out laughing before finally admitting, "Yeah, I did. I had a Japanese girlfriend in the past. And while dating her, I realized that there are some differences compared to dating a Korean girl. But honestly, it was a great experience."

Choo Sung Hoon was not about to let it go, though. He followed up, "So you've dated a Japanese girl—what about other countries?" 
 

When Kim Jae Joong hesitated, Choo Sung Hoon casually said, "I have. I mean, I've dated girls from France, Canada, Korea, and so on." 

That was when Kim Jae Joong, looking a little concerned, asked, "Uh… are you sure it's okay for you to say all this in front of cameras?"

Without missing a beat, Choo Sung Hoon shrugged it off. "Yeah, who cares? It was ages ago." 

He went on, "Back when I did judo, for some reason, I was pretty popular with foreign girls," cracking everyone up.

At that moment, Lee Chang-ho playfully called him out, saying, "Didn't you say you were only focused on training during that time?" 

Choo Sung Hoon shot back, "Well, that was part of training too. If you get what I mean," making everyone laugh. 

Kim Jae Joong, in shock, tried to smooth things over, joking, "Oh, you mean emotional training!"

Choo Sung Hoon laughed, nodding, "Exactly, exactly. Don't take it the wrong way—I didn't say anything weird!" 

But right after saying, "I didn't say anything weird," Choo Sung Hoon started looking visibly flustered, his hands sweating and his lips dry.

Feeling the heat, he quickly swiped on some lip balm, pretending to stay composed.
