During the latest preview clip of Channel A's 'Groom Class' released on July 26, Shim Hyung Tak was given a precious gift from his dear friend, Lee Sang Woo.
In the clip, Lee Sang Woo prepared a special party for Shim Hyung Tak before his wedding. Lee Sang Woo began by sharing, "It was difficult to ask..." And Shim Hyung Tak became curious, "What did you ask, to whom?"
That is when Lee Sang Woo called someone on the phone and handed it to Shim Hyung Tak. The one on the other side of the phone call was a familiar voice to Shim Hyung Tak - it was the voice of Doraemon, his ultimate bias. As soon as Shim Hyung Tak heard the voice, a big smile bloomed on his face. Shim Hyung Tak is well-known for his exceptional devotion to Doraemon, a passion that manifests in his impressive collection of memorabilia related to the iconic cartoon character.
Lee Sang Woo had asked the Korean voice actor for Doraemon to be on a phone call with his friend.
Shim Hyung Tak's eyes began to turn red and filled with tears during the phone call with his favorite character, who had been his emotional support for a long time since childhood. When Doraemon asked, "Do you know what my wish is?" Shim Hyung Tak replied, "I don't know."
Doraemon continued and said, "My wish is that you, Hyung Tak, become happy. You had it hard before. You suffered so much...I always said, there is nothing you can't do that others can do! Hyung Tak, you're a good person, so you'll be a good husband and a good dad. So have confidence. You're the best in the world, Hyung Tak! I, Doraemon, will cheer you on always. Be Happy!"
After hearing Doraemon's message, Shim Hyung Tak began to cry loudly, saying, "I'll live happily. When I lose strength, please let me hear your voice again."
Korean netizens were touched by this encounter as well and commented, "I cried with him too. I cried when Doraemon said, 'You had it hard before'," "I cried too," "Wow, sounds like a real friend, this was an amazing gift," "He's so innocent," "Man, he's making everyone watching cry," "I was not expecting anything when I watched but now I'm crying," "I just hope he's happy from now," "Tears are falling right now," and "He shared that Doraemon really helped him when he was in school and was bullied. He saw that Nabita had Doraemon as a friend so he wished he would have a friend like Doraemon too. That's why he started liking Doraemon. After knowing his story, this video makes me sadder."
