On the September 2nd episode of SBS’s Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny, Oh Sang-wook, who made an appearance, opened up during a conversation with his fencing seniors about his ideal partner.
He said, “At this moment, I prefer someone tall and exuding a cool aura. I’m not drawn to looks alone; they need to have a ‘cool’ vibe. A ‘girl crush’ kind of vibe could be similar. I like someone straightforward and confident rather than overly feminine,” which piqued viewers’ curiosity.
Additionally, Oh Sang-wook mentioned, “I want someone who really understands me. I’m not someone who communicates frequently. I don’t spend much time on my phone. I believe being in a comfortable environment is more important than constantly staying in touch with my girlfriend.”

Following these remarks, netizens speculated about his rumored relationship with Haruka Todo, a Japanese mixed-race model. Rumors about the two have circulated recently, and netizens have pointed to their “lovestagram” posts as evidence, although neither has commented on the speculations.

He even left a shy video message for her, saying, “I’m a fan… You’re amazing, and I’d love to meet you someday. I’ll always support you. Fighting!” With his global fame on the rise, netizens are increasingly curious about Oh Sang-wook’s ideal partner and love life. Many are waiting to see if he will directly address the dating rumors.
