• 3 K-Drama Pairings Whose Interactions In Real Life Are Sweeter Than On Screen

    They have such sweet interactions that they even got into dating rumors

    Song Hye Kyo – Jang Ki Yong

    Now We Are Breaking Up” is known as a melodrama, yet the couple Song Hye KyoJang Ki Yong does not have many love moments in the film. Throughout the 16 episodes, the pair struggled in the “breakup” scene.

    In exchange, this couple is exceptionally close behind the scenes. They frequently chuckle and make intimate gestures to one another. Even Song Hye Kyo‘s supporters must admit that it’s so rare to see her so cheerful backstage.

    Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki Yong have opened up about working together ahead of the premiere of Now, We Are Breaking Up.

    “Jang Ki Yong is well-mannered and kind. When I said something, I liked how he tried his best to get it done,” said the veteran actress of her co-star, per Soompi. Song added that she felt Jang had perfectly embodied his character, Yoon Jae-guk. “I thought, ‘Our chemistry is going to be great moving forward.’”

    “I’m so thankful to Song Hye-kyo. Even now, I still can’t believe that Song Hye-kyo is next to me. It was even more fascinating when we were working together in front of the camera,” Jang Ki Yong replied.

    He added, “I was nervous during our first filming but she was so considerate on set. When I joke around, she’s like a close older sister, but when we start filming, she’s an impressive actor who turns into Ha Young-eun (Song’s character).”

    Han So Hee – Song Kang

    The “Nevertheless” couple has a lot of bed scenes, kissing scenes in the drama, but that’s nothing compared to their sweet interactions behind the scenes.  Perhaps because they are the same age, the two easily become close.  They have sweet interactions off-screen as if they were a newlywed couple.  Their chemistry even caused the couple to be entangled in dating rumors.

    In an interview, Han So Hee and Song Kang was asked what did they feel when they knew they were working together.

    Song Kang shared, "I thought from appearance and her expressions she was like Na-bi , and she’s also got an ambiance and she’s very frank. So I was very surprised and happy to know she was my costar."

    Han So Hee added, "I also thought he was very similar to Jae-on. Before the drama there were a lot of online polls and fan picks for the casting and I thought he’d be a great pick. Song Kang has a bubbly character, and his charms are very different from Jae-on since he’s very pure (in real life), so that contrast makes him more charming"

    Song Joong Ki – Jeon Yeo Bin

    Because “Vincenzo” is not a melodrama, Song Joong Ki and Jeon Yeo Bin’s characters have little opportunity to flirt with each other in the drama. However, the couple was so amorous behind the scenes that they were even rumored to be dating.

    After “Vincenzo”, the couple continued to enthrall the audience by publicly supporting each other’s new projects and having sweet interaction when they had the chance to meet again at big events.

    In an interview, Song Joong Ki was asked to choose a character and actor that he thinks he had the best chemistry with and he revealed it to be Jeon Yeo Bin in an instant. He went on to say, “You may think I won’t choose anyone in case anyone gets upset, because Vincenzo interacted with many characters. But I pick Jeon Yeo Bin’s Hong Cha Young no matter what."

    He added, "It can’t be helped if the other actors get upset, it is an undeniable fact. I personally felt that she was very charming and I grew attached to the character while acting together. Jeon Yeo Bin and character Hong Cha Young both have really grown on me a lot.”

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

    On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

    Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

    Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

    Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

    She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

    She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

    Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

    Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

    He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

    He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

    Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

    That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

    He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

    Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
