Actress Gong Hyo Jin has made an eye-opening comment about the classic drama Boys Over Flowers, starring Lee Min Ho, revealing just how different things would be if it aired today. On January 6, Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin appeared together on the popular YouTube channel Chanhanhyeong Shindongyeop, where they got real about their roles and more.

During the episode, Lee Min Ho talked about their new drama Ask the Stars, mentioning that it has some wild elements. He joked, saying, "Our drama features sperm," explaining that the plot involves a chaebol family at risk of extinction because of deteriorating sperm. To save themselves, they go to space to fix it!

The hosts were clearly shocked, with Shin Dong Yeob calling it "innovative," but Gong Hyo Jin wasn’t done with the surprises. Hesitantly, she responded, "The reason we went to space was... what should I say..." before bluntly adding, "Sex." She explained that the drama covers topics like mating, childbirth, and sex, saying it all comes up very openly.

Then the conversation took an even more unexpected turn when Lee Min Ho talked about the huge wave of criticism he received for his role in Boys Over Flowers. He shared how his mini homepage was flooded with hateful comments after the first episode aired, especially because his character tortured Geum Jan Di. Lee Min Ho said, "Around 600,000 people came and cursed me out. But after the second episode, the hate turned into affection."

Gong Hyo Jin couldn't help but comment, "If it aired now, you'd be sued," to which Lee Min Ho humorously replied, "It wouldn’t even be a lawsuit, I wouldn’t even be able to appear on the broadcast."

The two actors also reminisced about the memes that still follow Lee Min Ho, including the infamous fire extinguisher incident. Lee Min Ho even admitted, "Looking at my hair back then, even I think I wasn't in my right mind. I went to the audition with that hair. I was desperate."

Of course, the fun didn’t stop there! The two actors joked about their YouTube viewership, with Lee Min Ho revealing, "Gong Hyo Jin is the one who really cares about those things. People think I would care, but I don’t. She’s the one who pays attention to that." Gong Hyo Jin playfully urged Lee Min Ho, "You should become a meme," causing everyone to laugh.

In a hilarious moment, Gong Hyo Jin even wondered aloud, "Should we just dance or something?" to which Shin Dong Yeob teased, "You two dancing would be so boring. Becoming a meme is way more fun," making everyone burst into laughter once again.

It’s clear that the dynamic between Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho is full of surprises and laughter, and their fans can’t get enough of it.
