Actor Lee Yi Kyung recently opened up about the unexpected reactions he got after mentioning his ex, Jung In Sun, during his award speech.

On January 20th, a new video on the YouTube channel Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong Yup featured Lee Yi Kyung alongside Hitman 2 co-stars Kwon Sang Woo and Hwang Woo Seul Hye.

During the conversation, Kwon Sang Woo joked about Lee Yi Kyung’s speech at the 2024 Seoulcon A-Plan Star Awards, where Lee Yi Kyung won the Best Actor award in the mid-length drama category for his role in Marry My Husband.

Kwon Sang Woo teased, "I saw you mention your ex-girlfriend when you went to receive an award the other day. I thought you had a Hollywood girlfriend."

Lee Yi Kyung laughed awkwardly and replied, "We were in the same space. It was such a long time ago, and since we did have a public relationship, that’s why."

At the awards ceremony, Lee Yi Kyung surprised everyone by mentioning Jung In Sun during his acceptance speech.

The two had publicly dated back in 2018 but broke up just two months after confirming their relationship.

Lee Yi Kyung admitted that after the speech, he received more messages about his mention of Jung In Sun than about his award.

"I got more messages about my speech than congratulations for the award," he shared with a chuckle.

Shin Dong Yup, offering some advice, said, "Before meeting someone in this world, haven’t we all met someone else? I really can’t understand why people would say something about that. It’s about going through trial and error and thinking, 'This person suits me better.'"

Reflecting on his personal life, Lee Yi Kyung revealed, "I thought I would be married in my 20s, but now I’m almost 40."

Big news has rocked the drama world! Director Lee Byung Hun has officially stepped down from the director’s chair for the upcoming Netflix series Everything Will Come True, starring Kim Woo Bin and Suzy.

Reports from the broadcasting industry on January 27 revealed that Lee Byung Hun left the project last year during filming due to personal reasons.

The production team confirmed the news, stating, “It is true that Director Lee Byung Hun left the project due to personal reasons.” After his exit, PD Ahn Gil Ho, who directed the hit Netflix series The Glory, stepped in to lead the project.

Despite Lee Byung Hun’s departure, Everything Will Come True wrapped up all its filming by the end of October 2024.

Fans are still eagerly awaiting this romantic comedy that tells the story of Genie (played by Kim Woo Bin), who holds the power to control life and death, and Ga Young (played by Suzy), who lacks emotions.

The two characters make three wishes that could change their fate in ways they never imagined—bringing either fortune or punishment.

The buzz around the project has been huge, thanks to its writer Kim Eun Sook, the mastermind behind iconic dramas like Secret Garden, The Heirs, Goblin, Descendants of the Sun, and Mr. Sunshine.

Fans were excited about the combination of Kim Eun Sook’s storytelling and Lee Byung Hun’s directing talent. Everything Will Come True was one of the most anticipated Netflix releases for 2025.

Currently, the drama is in post-production, with a lot of technical work and CGI still to be done. The team behind the show is putting in extra effort to make sure it’s the best release of the year, with specialists from various fields working together to complete it.

Stay tuned for updates, as Everything Will Come True is set to release later this year!
