Could Choi Daniel and Jeon So Min be the first couple of the new year? Fans can’t help but wonder after the actors' cute exchange on the YouTube channel Musubi.

On December 27, 2024, Choi Daniel and Jeon So Min reunited to share stories and laughs, having worked together on the drama Today, I’m Sorry. Their lively interaction and natural chemistry caught everyone's attention, especially since they're both born in 1986.

Jeon So Min opened up about her first impression of Choi Daniel, saying, “At first, he seemed cold, charismatic, quiet, didn’t smile, and was a bit hard to approach.” But after working together on set, she revealed, “I realized he’s actually a playful older man. He looks like he wants to mess around, and I could see his nostrils twitching. His eyes are full of mischief.”

In response, Choi Daniel shared his thoughts on Jeon So Min calling him “Choi-gun” for the first time, saying, “You’re the first person to call me that.” He went on to praise her, saying, “Jeon So Min is just bright and has a cheerful vibe. When we met for the drama, I was so happy. When she smiles, her mouth is really pretty.”

Jeon So Min teasingly responded, “Is this flirting? Why specifically my mouth?” She then recalled a memorable moment while filming, sharing, “One day, he suddenly said, ‘Hey, you’re way prettier in person.’ I thought that was a bit of a strange thing to say.” She continued, “I don’t quite remember the scene, but I do remember him looking at me with such warm eyes. It was such a charming expression. He sometimes gives off a really warm, gentle feeling.”

Their sweet exchange didn’t stop there! Jeon So Min also mentioned their incredible chemistry, saying, “I thought to myself, I definitely want to work with him again someday. There are really no fellow actors born in 1986.” To which Choi Daniel cheekily replied, “That’s flirting. That’s almost a confession. I’m someone who falls fast.”

Could this be the start of something more between Choi Daniel and Jeon So Min? Fans are already shipping them as a couple and are eager to see more of their adorable interactions!
