💔 David Oh Confesses That He Had a Crush on the Late Kwon RiSe

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

On September 7, 2014, Ladies’ Code‘s bright and lovely member Kwon RiSe passed away. She was only 22 years old.

Her friend, David Oh, had a hard time accepting this fact. He said, “Seeing her portrait at the funeral, I wondered if this was all a dream. At first I couldn’t think at all. I became sadder as time passed, and my heart was torn with sorrow.”

As many people already know, David Oh and Kwon RiSe were both contestants in MBC‘s “Birth of a Great Star.” They competed in the same season of the show and rose to the top-10 together. The two of them were nicknamed “Visual Couple” during the whole season, thanks to their lovely looks. Afterwards, they got cast in “We Got Married” as virtual husband and wife, which was quite a surprise since they hadn’t even officially debuted back then.

After releasing his new song “I Know I Know,” he was carefully asked to talk about RiSe. Since he had worked with her in “We Got Married,” David Oh probably had more memories of her that not a lot of people know about. David Oh remained calm and said something unexpected.

“I was interested in RiSe. I liked her actually, but I couldn’t confess to her. It was a one-sided crush. After ‘Birth of a Great Star’ ended, Son Jin Young even went on ‘The Quiz to Change the World‘ and said that I liked RiSe. But I learned something while filming ‘We Got Married’ with her. I liked RiSe but I wasn’t the style that she liked,” the singer confessed.

The two maintained a great friendship even after the show ended. David Oh explained, “But when RiSe debuted in the group Ladies’ Code, I couldn’t keep contact with her. She didn’t have a phone. More than a year passed when I got a phone call from RiSe. She said, ‘I got a new phone, let’s meet some time.’ Back then, I had no idea that this would be my last phone call with her.”

Meanwhile, David Oh released his debut song “I Know I Know” five years after his appearance on “Birth of a Great Star.”

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

that's really sweet but i can't help but wonder if he's saying this bc of his single, i guess i'm just too much of a cynic

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

no i thought that too

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

i thought so too tbh, jfc i'm so bitter/cynical in general lol

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

same here but I didn't want to say anything

[jeliza]

I suspect he hasn't been interviewed until he started promoting, and it would have been awful to solicit interviews after her death to talk about her.

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

i can see how people might think that, but i watched their run on WGM way back in the day, and it was incredibly obvious that he was super into her but she wasn't into him :c

[sballet06.livejournal.com]

Yup it was pretty obvious he had a HUGE crush on her in their WGM stint

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

yeah, like, he's not saying anything that wasn't already obvious years ago/well before rise's passing... i definitely understand the cynicism, but idk, i still think it's kind of a shitty thing to accuse someone of, especially if you know little to nothing about them/the relationship in question ~shrug~

[patentpending.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he even said as much on the actual show and he had friends that came on the show and reiterated the fact the he had a crush on her before they even got on the show within the first few episodes if I remember correctly. Their run was short and awkward and it seemed pretty obvious it was because it seemed he liked her a lot but she wasn't into it and for that reason the chemistry just wasn't all that great. It's like he was always trying to please her and sort of tip toe delicately around her because he was afraid of her rejecting him outright.

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, their run was definitely awkward for those reasons, but it's nice that it seems like they maintained a friendship afterward

[love-allure.livejournal.com]

i don't wanna think bad of a dude that i just heard about, so i'm just gonna go with that he needed to clear shit outta his mind a little. it feels good to unload your mental load sometimes.

[milknote.livejournal.com]

You're not wrong to feel cynical. Sad but sometimes people do try to gain sympathy/attention in shitty ways so you literally can never be 100%.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

i mean its not like they happened to be on a show together one time, they were a wgm couple. at the very least they were good friends

[dreamerbri.livejournal.com]

mte. never heard of him before this article too.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

personally, while i don't think he's doing it for pr, i would have avoided mentioning it even tho it's true. u can talk about it with ppl u know, but to say it to the media... not the best idea

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not Danny Gokey-level or anything, but it makes me uncomfortable.

[ckino (from livejournal.com)]

This is just sad :(

[ainsleys.livejournal.com]

it's all so sad.

[jesymphony.livejournal.com]

Sigh it still affects me man. To this day. Just a pang in the heart place.

I hope David's been doing alright too. Losing a friend is hard.

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

i really think about risae and eunbi almost once a week which is weird but ladies' code was one of my absolute favorite girl groups of all time, so much talent and so many beautiful personalities.
i hope my girls are well, i miss risae so much and i know how it must feel to have had unrequited feelings for someone that's passed and to always have that what if going through your head.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

i think about them from time to time and still include the families involved in my prayers. it's still very sad.
