Jung Il Woo is voted as man who has never been dumped

Actor Jung Il Woo was recently voted for as ‘man who has never been dumped.’

XTM conducted the survey prior to launching their program, She’s Not That Into You, which will start airing on November 30. Jung ranked first with 58 percent of the votes.


The survey has held on XTM’s homepage for 14 days and 2,054 people answered the question. People who voted for Jung said: “Jung has milky white skin and he is the handsomest guy with a beautiful smile. How can I dump him?” “If he looks at me with his bright eyes, my maternal instinct is aroused.” “The woman who can dump Jung has nerves of iron.”

Yeon Jung Hoon, who is currently appearing on OCN’s Vampire Prosecutor, ranked second with 22 percent of the votes. He was followed by Yoo Se Yoon (9%), MC for She’s Not That Into You, Kim Min Joon (8%), MC for Homme 3.0, and Kim Jin Pyo (3%), who appears on Top Gear Korea.

She’s Not That Into You is a variety program designed to help handsome men who have a lack of insight on choosing bad women and helping them find a real true love.

Women pass by on a conveyor belt who appeal to men sitting in the middle of the studio. The men have to sort out and choose their ideal women. The woman who survives until the final round will have two choices: she can go out on a date with the man or she can choose a monetary prize instead.
