The behind-the-scenes story was revealed that some kiss scenes in the BL (Boys Love) drama "Semantic Error" were suggested by actors Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan.

According to a report by SportsW on March 11th, the director of WATCHA's original drama "Semantic Error" announced that Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan added kiss acting in a scene without physical contact.

The director said that the ending of the 8th episode, where Sang Woo (Park Jae Chan)'s feelings burst, was originally bland because there was no touch, but Park Seo Ham, who plays Jae Young, suggested kissing.

It was then announced that the kiss scene of the epilogue was also created by the active character immersion of Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan.

The two suggested their opinions, saying that it would be weird if there was no kiss scene after grasping the character's feelings in the play.

The director praised the actors, saying that the scenes became abundant with the perfect teamwork of Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan's ideas.

"Semantic Error" is a work that drew attention by gaining favorable reviews for its outstanding acting skills, even though it has a rare genre called BL.

A drama depicting campus romance of two polar opposite youths, Choo Sang Woo, a computer engineering major and 'loner' who's living a perfectly organized life, when a snob designer and 'popular' Jang Jae Yeong came to his life like an error.

"Semantic Error" topped the TOP10 rankings immediately after its release, followed by a successful hit by ranking first in WATCHA's viewing rankings for three consecutive weeks over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Park Seo Ham entered the training center on March 10th. He will receive basic military training and fulfill his duty as a social service worker.

IU has once again warmed hearts with her sweet and caring nature — this time by personally helping young actress Kim Tae Yeon get ready for her very first awards show.

The two actresses both played the same character, Ae Soon, in different stages of life in the Netflix drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines". IU played the adult version while Kim Tae Yeon touched viewers with her emotional performance as young Ae Soon.

Even though Kim Tae Yeon doesn’t have an agency yet, IU made sure the young star wouldn’t be alone. According to insiders, IU personally visited a dress shop with Kim Tae Yeon to help her pick out a beautiful outfit. She even helped with hair and makeup plans, making sure Tae Yeon could shine at the upcoming 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, where both actresses are nominated.

Kim Tae Yeon’s mom posted about the moment on Instagram, saying:

“Tae Yeon met IU unnie and told me to say thank you. Words aren’t enough to express how grateful we are. We were so surprised by her unexpected visit, and her thoughtful care truly touched our hearts. Thank you again to IU for the gift.”

The post also showed a happy Kim Tae Yeon holding IU’s present and choosing a dress — a moment that melted fans’ hearts.

IU is well-known in the industry for her generosity and kindness. While filming "You Have Done Well", she reportedly gave thoughtful gifts and created a warm, friendly vibe on set for everyone, from co-stars to staff.

The drama itself became a big hit, earning praise both in Korea and overseas. IU, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Choi Dae Hoon, and Kim Tae Yeon all received Baeksang nominations — a huge achievement, especially for the young star.

Kim Tae Yeon, born in 2011, has been acting since she was little and appeared in dramas like Crash Landing on You, A Dog’s Love Today, and Gyeongseong Creature. But her powerful acting in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" truly made people cry, smile, and remember her name.

IU didn’t stop at helping Kim Tae Yeon. She also invited fellow cast members Moon So Ri, Park Hae Joon, Ahn Tae Rin, and more to her concert, sending them gifts to show her love and support.

In an earlier interview, IU talked about giving gifts to so many people. She humbly said,

“As I do more projects, there are more people I’m thankful for, but it’s not as hard as people think. I just hope the people receiving the gifts feel happy.”

Talking about the drama, she added,

“It was such a grand project. Just being part of it was a blessing. It made me think, ‘Ji Eun, you really experienced something amazing.’ I’m grateful I could work with such great people.”

Once again, IU has proved she’s not just a talented singer and actress — she’s also a true “Good Deed Queen.”
