Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, the main actors of "Lovely Runner," gave off major couple vibes beyond the screen.

On the latest episode of Jang Doyeon's YouTube show "Salon Drip 2," aired on May 27th, the duo, known for their roles as Ryu Seonjae and Im Sol in the hit tvN series, let slip some interesting details.

Jang Doyeon couldn't resist asking Byeon Woo Seok about the show's massive success. He spilled, "My family's reactions say it all! They're loving it even more this time. Lots of happy comments, and my sister's friends are obsessed. My folks are even telling me to sign autographs!"

Meanwhile, Kim Hye Yoon chimed in, "I've been glued to reaction videos on YouTube. Seeing how people interpret our story differently is wild!"

When the host probed about the show's thrilling moments, instead of giving a straight answer, they exchanged sweet glances, adding to the excitement.

Jang Doyeon couldn't help but notice the sparks flying between the two. "What's up with you two? It's like watching 'Lovely Runner' in HD! I almost hit pause!"

Kim Hye Yoon played it cool, saying they were just chatting. But Byeon Woo Seok got flustered, admitting, "Suddenly, it feels awkward."

Jang Doyeon, ever the detective, teased, "Are you sure you're not dating? The way you were looking at each other, it's suspicious! And you arrived in the same car!"

Byeon Woo Seok got sentimental, praising Kim Hye Yoon's emotional performances. "She cried buckets during our nine months of filming. Every tear felt real to me. Whether she was happy or sad, I wanted to lift her spirits. I'm really grateful to her."

Kim Hye Yoon blushed, saying, "That's news to me! I didn't know he wanted to lift me up and jump around."

Seems like there's more to their chemistry than just acting!

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!
