Joana Pak and Steven Yeun met through a mutual friend
Steven Yeun and Joana Pak first met through a mutual friend in Chicago. However, Pak was dating someone else at the time.
A year later, they met each other again in a bar where Yeun was working as a bartender.
The actor told Martha Stewart Weddings:
“She walked into the bar where I was a really shitty bartender, and it was kismet. After that, I saw her every day for six months.”
He told GQ:
“I invited Jo out with two other friends who happened to be girls, which was the worst move of all time.”
He explained:
“Probably because I hadn’t been dating in so long, and by that point I was just like, ‘You know what? I’m just going to not let her know that I’m into her.’ I was playing dumb. Just lame-ass moves. Then we broke off on our own, and I saw her every day for the rest of the year.”
