Actor Gong Yoo has shared his heartfelt thoughts about relationships, showing his considerate and thoughtful side.

On December 4, Netflix Korea uploaded a video titled "Seo Hyun Jin & Gong Yoo, How Far Can They Go? A Couple That Takes Balance Games Seriously" on its official channel.

In the video, Gong Yoo and his co-star Seo Hyun Jin played a fun balance game, revealing their unique perspectives on different topics.

One question stood out: "Knowledge is power vs. Ignorance is bliss?" Gong Yoo explained how this concept plays out in real-life relationships.

"Sometimes, in relationships, you come across situations like this," he said. "For example, there’s something a friend should know, but they are completely unaware of it, and I somehow come to know the truth."

He added, "If I think it’s something my friend needs to know, I’d hold onto them and tell them, even if it’s hard. I’d stay by their side and help them figure out how to navigate the difficult situation."

Fans praised Gong Yoo for his sincerity, with many commenting on how relatable and thoughtful his approach to relationships is.

Meanwhile, Seo Hyun Jin and Gong Yoo are the lead stars in the Netflix series The Trunk, which premiered on November 29.

The series centers around a mysterious trunk that appears by a lakeside, unraveling secrets tied to real and fake marriages. As the story dives into these relationships, it explores emotional struggles, hidden truths, and unresolved pasts.

Time Magazine described The Trunk as an intense and gripping series, stating, "It symbolically portrays the characters' suppressed memories and unresolved pasts, offering both emotional and narrative depth."

The performances also received high praise. "Seo Hyun Jin delivered a nuanced portrayal of a complex inner self, while Gong Yoo showcased powerful yet delicate emotional acting," the magazine wrote.

Similarly, NME highlighted the show’s artistic appeal, saying, "Director Kim Kyu Tae’s direction weaves the characters’ stories into an elegant dance, creating a visually overwhelming experience."

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!
