Lee Jun Hyuk recently sat down for an interview following the successful conclusion of SBS’s Love Scout.

The drama, which ended on February 14, captured viewers' hearts with the love story between Kang Ji Yoon (played by Han Ji Min), a headhunting company CEO, and Yoo Eun Ho (played by Lee Jun Hyuk), her perfect secretary. The show recorded an impressive 11.8% in viewership ratings, proving its popularity.

Lee Jun Hyuk's charming and realistic portrayal of Yoo Eun Ho, along with his undeniable chemistry with Han Ji Min, had fans completely hooked. Many even started commenting on social media and drama clips, hoping that the two actors would date in real life.

However, Han Ji Min is already in a public relationship with Jannabi’s Choi Jung Hoon. When asked if he was aware of the dating rumors, Lee Jun Hyuk laughed and said, "I saw it. But why are they saying something impossible?"

He continued, "At first, I was confused. I haven’t done many romantic comedies before, so reactions like this were unimaginable to me when I was younger."

Jokingly, he added, "It’s like a new level of fan engagement. But then I thought—why didn’t people tell me to ‘kill Seong-woong for real’ when I played that role? Or throw rocks at me when I was in The Outlaws?"

He then playfully declared, "From now on, I’ll join in and comment ‘You two should date’ on other actors’ posts. I need to see what it’s like!"

When talking about working with Han Ji Min, he was full of praise, saying, "People pay to watch IMAX movies, right? Well, she’s giving a high-definition performance right in front of me. I really respect and appreciate my colleagues."

He continued, "In the past, I might have just admired them, but now I understand how much effort it takes to overcome challenges in acting. It’s not easy at all."

Since Love Scout was his first time leading a romance drama, how did he feel about filming intimate scenes like kiss scenes, bed scenes, and skinship moments?

Lee Jun Hyuk calmly explained, "It wasn’t difficult. Everything is done within set guidelines, so I tried to be as precise as possible. Honestly, it’s not about me feeling flustered—it’s about making sure the audience feels the emotions."

He added, "Just like how action scenes look intense but are safely choreographed, we filmed in a secure environment. When I had to lift Ji Min, I made sure she was safe and comfortable."

His honest and playful personality has only made fans love him more!

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
