Kang Ho Dong and Sakura first met in 2018. The two appeared on the show "Everyone's Kitchen." There, they discussed if a man and woman can be just friends.

Kang Ho Dong revealed that he did not have any female friends. Sakura appeared saddened by his words, asking, "You do not have one? Then what I am? Are we not friends?"

Since then, the two have been friends despite their large age gap. Kang Ho Dong apologized, saying, "Oh, you are my first girl friend." To this, Sakura called Kang Ho Dong the first friend she made in Korea and considered them true friends.

In May 2022, Sakura appeared in "Knowing Bros," where Kang Ho Dong is a cast member. When she saw him, she said, "You said you would be friends with me, but you never contacted me. I wanted to see you, but did you not want to see me, Ho Dong?"
