Actress Thea Tolentino has just found another reason to smile: she finally met her ultimate Korean crush, former U-Kiss member Alexander Lee.

In an Instagram post on Thursday, the 20-year-old actress-model raved about her mini “meet and greet” session with Lee, who will star alongside Heart Evangelista for the upcoming Philippine-Korean drama series, “My Korean Jagiya”.

Tolentino mentioned that Lee has been her crush ever since her high school days, and when Lee happened to be in the country, she did not hesitate to meet her “oppa” in person.

“May charm siya, e (He has charm),” Tolentino told Philippine Entertainment Portal. “Ang gusto ko talaga si Alexander, number one siya. Siya talaga yung tinitingnan ko palagi sa U-Kiss (I really like Alexander [because] he’s number one [in the group]. I have always looked up to him when he was with U-Kiss).”

“My Korean Jagiya”, which will be directed by Mark Reyes, has yet to announce its airing date. Joining Evangelista and Lee in the series are Edgar Allan de Guzman, Iya Villania and Jinri Park. Gianna Francesca Catolico/JB
