Actor Seo Kang Joon has shared the surprising reason why he once thought he might have been adopted!

On February 17, the YouTube channel Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong Yup uploaded a video featuring Seo Kang Joon, Yoon Ga Yi, and Jo Bok Rae, who are all starring in MBC’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Undercover High School.

During the video, Seo Kang Joon talked about his eye color, saying, "My biological sister and I have similar eyes, but what's weird is our parents don’t have the same eye color. We also don’t look much like them."

He then confessed, "When I was a bit over twenty, I asked my mom, ‘Am I really your biological child?’ She quickly answered, ‘You are my child, so don’t say such strange things.’"

Shin Dong Yup jokingly called him "the second Ji Jin Hee," referring to the famous Korean drama plotline, to which Seo Kang Joon laughed and replied, "I haven’t done a paternity test yet."

Seo Kang Joon went on to explain, "Since I resemble my sister, I wondered if we were both adopted together."

Fans were shocked by this unexpected revelation from the actor!

Seo Kang Joon is proving his star power as his new drama Undercover High School takes the top spot in buzz rankings.

On February 24, Good Data Corporation, a company that tracks online reactions to K-content, announced that MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama Undercover High School ranked #1 in TV-OTT drama buzz for the third week of February.

Not only that, but lead actor Seo Kang Joon also topped the TV-OTT drama actor buzz rankings, showing just how much viewers are loving his performance.

The drama follows a National Intelligence Service (NIS) agent who goes undercover as a high school student to retrieve Emperor Gojong’s lost gold bars.

Seo Kang Joon plays the elite NIS agent Jung Hae Sung, who ditches his suit for a school uniform to complete his mission.

Despite tough competition from SBS’s Buried Hearts (ranked #2) and tvN’s My Dearest Nemesis (ranked #6), Undercover High School secured the top spot, largely thanks to Seo Kang Joon’s performance.

According to Good Data Corporation’s Won Soon Woo, “Based on netizens’ sentiment analysis, Seo Kang Joon was chosen as the actor who best suits his male lead role among the three new dramas. The positive response to his visuals and acting has directly boosted the drama’s popularity.”

Meanwhile, Netflix originals are also making waves, with The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call and Melo Movie ranking #3 and #4, while the highly anticipated When Life Gives You Tangerines entered the chart at #8 before its release.

Other school-themed dramas are also gaining attention, with Friendly Competition (U+ Mobile TV) and Study Group landing at #5 and #9, respectively.

MBC’s Undercover High School, starring Seo Kang Joon, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM KST.
