Even Melissa Gohing thinks boyfriend Rocco Nacino is Jin Goo look-alike
Rocco Nacino revealed that his girlfriend Melissa Gohing urged him to watch "Descendants of the Sun" years ago because he looked similar to the Korean actor Jin Goo.
In his press conference with Jasmine Curtis Smith on Thursday, Rocco said the volleyball player has been a Korean drama fan way back in 2016.
Before the Philippine adaptation of the hit Korean drama series was even in the works, Melissa already insisted that the two actors looked alike after watching the original.
"As a prank, gumawa siya ng collage of photos na pinagtatabi niya photos namin," Rocco said.
Years later, when Rocco finally landed the same role Jin Goo played in the original "Descendants of the Sun," Melissa looked for the collage and showed it to Rocco.
The actor said that Melissa has been nothing but supportive of his new show, even urging Rocco to tell her what would happen next to the plot.
The two have been together for more than two years now.
The primetime series "Descendants of the Sun" also stars Jasmine Curtis Smith, Dingdong Dantes and Jennylyn Mercado.
The Korean original, which became a big hit in the country when it aired back in 2016, starred Song Joong-Ki, Song Hye-kyo and Kim Ji-won. —MGP, GMA News
