“Ja-Wook Oppa, take my ligament,” said the handcrafted sign that propelled DIS second-grader Aileen Kim into stardom with over 700K views on YouTube and 150K on Instagram. Her heartfelt message even touched Koo Ja-wook himself, the famous outfielder for the Samsung Lions Korean pro baseball team. Koo later thanked her in person.
