Actors Seolhyun and Um Tae Goo have revealed that they are now best friends, despite having a shy start to their relationship.

On November 26th, Seolhyun and Um Tae Goo joined director Kim Hee Won on the YouTube channel Teo, where they discussed their friendship while promoting their Disney+ series Light Shop.

Seolhyun shared that Um Tae Goo, who is known for being shy, used to be very quiet on set. She recalled, "When our senior would answer, he was so embarrassed that the mischievous seniors would purposely ask him more questions. We had debates with Um Tae Goo in the middle, but he didn’t say a word while we talked amongst ourselves."

The hosts also asked Seolhyun how she felt about Um Tae Goo opening up more these days. She joked, "I think it’s because I’ve been active a lot, so I feel like I’m talking more now."

Jang Do Yeon then asked when the shyness fades between people who aren’t close, and Um Tae Goo responded, "It depends on the person. I worked on The Great Battle with Seolhyun, and we didn’t say more than five words to each other."

Seolhyun added, "For over a year, we didn’t talk more than five words. It was just 'thank you for your hard work,' that was it."

But now, things have changed. Um Tae Goo proudly shared, "But this time, we talked a lot more." Seolhyun quickly responded, "Best friends, best friends," making everyone laugh. Um Tae Goo hesitated but eventually agreed, saying, "Soulmates, it’s really great."

The two revealed that their conversations now include topics like travel, pets, and exercise. Seolhyun then asked, "Do you talk like this in front of really comfortable people?"

Um Tae Goo replied, "I talk well with director Um Tae Hwa," but quickly added, "That’s not true," and explained, "When I’m with close friends or younger siblings who I’m comfortable with, I joke around a lot."

Despite their initial shyness, Seolhyun and Um Tae Goo have clearly become close friends and are enjoying their bond as soulmates.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
