Actor Yoo Yeon Seok has spoken up about the dating rumors swirling around him and Chae Soo Bin, his co-star in When the Phone Rings. Fans were so drawn to their chemistry on-screen that they began wondering if the romance was real!

In an interview with SPOTV News on January 6th, Yoo Yeon Seok addressed the fans' excitement. Laughing, he said, "I’m grateful that viewers were so immersed in the story."

Yoo Yeon Seok starred as Baek Sa Eon, a former star anchor turned presidential spokesperson, in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama When the Phone Rings.

The show, adapted from a hit web novel, is a mix of romance and thriller. It tells the story of a couple in a three-year contractual marriage who get tangled in a dangerous mystery after receiving a threatening phone call.

In the drama, Yoo Yeon Seok’s Baek Sa Eon and Chae Soo Bin’s Hong Hee Joo had undeniable chemistry. Fans even nicknamed them the "Saju Couple", combining parts of their characters' names. The pair’s realistic and heart-fluttering moments made viewers wonder if they were dating in real life.

Responding to the speculation, Yoo Yeon Seok said, "I’m thankful for all the love. It shows how strong the chemistry was, and I appreciate that people were so into the 'Saju Couple' romance."

He jokingly added, "But is that something I can control? Even though the show is a thriller, the romance really shines through. It’s a love story at heart, and the thriller parts just make it more exciting."

Talking about working with Chae Soo Bin, Yoo Yeon Seok shared, "At first, things were a bit awkward. Soo Bin is shy, and I also need some time to warm up to people. Plus, her character uses sign language in the story, so early on, I was basically acting alone in some scenes."

He added, "But as we spent more time together, it became easier to connect. Being in the same agency definitely helped. Soo Bin has such a bright and fun personality, and she leaned on me a lot, which made building chemistry natural."

Fans are still swooning over the "Saju Couple", and while Yoo Yeon Seok stays humble about the rumors, viewers can’t help but hope for more magical moments between the duo on and off-screen!
