Fencing Star Oh Sang-wook Denies Dating Rumors and Talks Career Success

Oh Sang-wook, the fencing national team member, reiterated that he is currently single on the recent episode of TV Chosun's 'Baekban Journey with Heo Young-man'.

During the show, Heo Young-man asked, "You must have a girlfriend, right?" to which Oh Sang-wook replied, "I don't have one." Heo expressed surprise, saying, "With your looks, I would expect people to be lining up."

Last September, Oh was rumored to be dating Haruka Todoya, a Japanese-Korean model, but both parties remained silent on the matter. Oh has since clarified on broadcasts that he does not have a girlfriend.

As Oh indulged in a feast, Heo commented, "You must earn a lot," to which Oh humorously responded, "I either need to lose weight or earn more."

After ordering a ginseng set meal, a specialty of Geumsan, Heo inquired if Oh receives many advertising offers as an athlete. Oh confirmed, "Yes," acknowledging his popularity.

Ranked as the world's number one fencer, Oh has appeared in high-profile advertisements for alcohol, cars, credit cards, and beverages, solidifying his status as a top star.

After calculating in his head, Heo remarked, "With that income, you could easily afford to get married and buy a small house."

Oh shared that he found snake dishes challenging to eat, saying, "The fishy smell was overwhelming. If I eat five ginseng roots, I won't be able to sleep tonight," he joked.

Looking ahead, Oh expressed his determination for the upcoming Olympics, stating, "There are three years left until the next Olympics. We'll continue to sweat, cry, and laugh, so please support us. I will definitely win a gold medal in LA."
