Actor Lee Dong Wook is drawing attention after candidly revealing what he looks for in an ideal partner during a special reunion celebrating the 10th anniversary of Goblin.

The comments came during tvN’s Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip, which aired on July 11. The special reunited the beloved cast, including Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun, Yoo In Na, Kim Byung Chul, Lee El, and Park Kyung Hye, as they reminisced about memorable moments from the hit K-drama.

During one game segment, the cast revisited a famous line in which Ji Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun) asks Kim Shin (Gong Yoo), “Which type of wife do you prefer: a devoted wife, a sexy wife, or a professional wife?”

After correctly identifying the scene, the cast members were asked to answer the question themselves.

Without hesitation, Lee Dong Wook chose “a professional wife.”

He explained that it wasn’t simply about having a career, but about the qualities that come with it.

“More than the job itself, I find someone’s passion and dedication to their work attractive.”

His answer quickly led to a follow-up question from Yoo In Na, who presented him with a hypothetical scenario.

She asked whether he would choose someone who had a job but earned very little, or someone who was financially well-off but didn’t have a particular profession.

Lee Dong Wook’s response surprised both the cast and viewers.

“Money doesn’t matter.”

Yoo In Na then playfully pushed the question further.

“What if she keeps spending your money?”

Laughing, Lee Dong Wook replied confidently:

“That’s okay. I have enough.”

His unexpected answer immediately drew reactions from everyone on set.

Yoo In Na responded with an impressed, “That’s wonderful,” while the entire cast burst into laughter at Lee Dong Wook’s relaxed attitude toward finances.

The conversation also revealed the differing preferences of the other cast members.

Gong Yoo shared that he would choose a devoted wife, emphasizing the importance of warmth and care in a relationship.

Meanwhile, Kim Byung Chul jokingly answered “a sexy wife,” earning another round of laughter from the group.

Amused by the variety of responses, Yoo In Na pointed out that all three actors had completely different ideals when it came to their dream partner.

Lee Dong Wook then wrapped up the conversation with a witty remark that perfectly matched the lighthearted atmosphere.

“It’s a good thing none of us chose the same type.”

His joke once again had the cast laughing, bringing another memorable moment to the Goblin reunion special.

Although the discussion was part of a fun game, Lee Dong Wook’s sincere comments about valuing passion over wealth quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the anniversary broadcast, with many fans praising his perspective on relationships and what truly matters in a life partner.
