<p>As one of the most in demand hosts in the country, Sam Oh is not just a well-loved radio deejay, but a charming host to many K-pop idol fan meet events held in the country. But even with her years of experience speaking spontaneously in public, Sam shared in an exclusive interview with <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PUSH ABS-CBN</strong></a> how looking and feeling confident are two very different things. </p><div><br/></div><p>“You know, I’m always nervous. Always. Regardless of whether it’s a small, short event or it’s a big oppa event, I’m always like, super anxious the day before and right until you hit the stage. It’s always nerve-wracking for me. And if anyone has some tips on how you can fix this, please let me know (laughs),” she told <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PUSH ABS-CBN</strong></a>. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DSfIOgBk113/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A346147.40000009537%2C%22ls%22%3A345958.2000000477%2C%22le%22%3A345963.40000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="929" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% -

He had a very short press thing. I hosted that and I think his team reminded him about it. So he came to my holding area before the show, unannounced, by himself. Just to say thank you for hosting. He had a little card that he wrote for me, asking me if I was okay, did I eat na, and can I get you a snack? Parang I’m just there just freaking out, Like I said I get so nervous before  an event and Park Bo-Gum, in the flesh, who’s so good looking, by the way. Oh my gosh, I just about died! But so nice. And I mean, obviously, he’s a good looking guy but there’s something about him. Like he’s shining. I don’t know what he’s doing!” she explained. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFkcrr1zyuo/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A347903.60000014305%2C%22ls%22%3A345958.2000000477%2C%22le%22%3A345963.40000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1041" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>WATCH: https://www.abs-cbn.com/2023/3/21/sam-oh-shares-memorable-celebrity-encounters-push-tv-1129 </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEKeSeIz9Lo/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A347986.10000014305%2C%22ls%22%3A345958.2000000477%2C%22le%22%3A345963.40000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1077" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>With the holiday season, Sam also shared what she considers the best Christmas gift she gave herself during the past few years. “Gosh, more than anything, I think it was around this time during the pandemic, sorry but this is going to be a little corny because it’s faith-related okay? But I was doing a bible study during the pandemic and I think it was covering the holiday season as well. Obviously the pandemic was a difficult time for everybody but I was so comforted by studying the bible at that time with Vine Christian Mission Center which is a theology school. So I think that was the best Christmas gift that I got for myself.” </p>
