Han So Hee recently shared details about her initially awkward relationship with Park Seo Joon during their year-long collaboration.

On January 13th, Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee made a guest appearance on PD Nah Yung Suk's YouTube channel.

In the video, the two lead actors of the Netflix original series 'Gyeongseong Creature,' Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee, shared various updates on their lives.

When asked by PD Na Young Seok about the nearly two-year-long 'Gyeongseong Creatures' shoot, Park Seo Joon said, "I think the way we call each other have changed from when we first met to when it ended, more than it being two years." Now, Park Seo Joon calls Han So Hee 'Sohee', while she refers to him as 'hyung' or 'oppa.'

Upon hearing this, writer Lee Woo Jung expressed surprise, saying, "It's the first time Seo Joon has said he's close to someone." Han So Hee explained her reserved nature, saying, "I'm not the type to say things like 'Oh, senior, you look so cool today.'"

The two, who spent the first year awkwardly exchanging greetings, became close during the final action scene.

Han So Hee reminisced, "During the last action scene, it was so hard for me, so I sat on a chair, and suddenly, oppa dragged the chair right next to me. He didn't say anything. It was so uncomfortable to death."

Continuing the story, So Hee shared, "I thought of, 'Go sit somewhere else.' I was just feeling awkward, wondering why he came. So, I asked him about his blood type. He said he's AB, and I said I'm the same. ."

She added, "Then I asked about MBTI, and he said he's INFP, and I said I'm the same. Then, we just stayed silent. When he said he needed to prepare for the shoot, I just said 'Okay' and ran out immediately".

As it takes a long time for them to get close to people, it seems they become quite open-hearted once they build a friendship.

In the video, Park Seo Joon showered Han So Hee with compliments, saying, "I just think So Hee is an incredibly charming person. A friend with a new and unique charm that you don't see these days."

He further praised her for being honest and having a clear subjective view on things, expressing herself without reservation.

On the other hand, Park Seo Joon described himself as quite cautious, saying, "I can't do it if it's not confirmed."

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!
