Actor Huh Joon Ho shared his honest thoughts on his intense face-to-face scene with Park Hyung Sik in Buried Hearts.

On March 6, SBS’s YouTube channel uploaded a new video featuring Park Hyung Sik, Huh Joon Ho, Lee Hae Young, and Hong Hwa Yeon discussing behind-the-scenes stories from filming.

During the discussion, the cast talked about a scene where Seo Dong Joo (Park Hyung Sik) and Yeo Eun Nam (Hong Hwa Yeon) shared a secret office romance.

When asked about workplace relationships, Park Hyung Sik gave a thoughtful answer, saying, "I don’t think it’s my place to approve or disapprove of someone else’s relationship. But if someone is truly confident they won’t get caught and won’t cause any trouble for others, maybe it’s okay? I’m not sure."

Hong Hwa Yeon added, "As long as people can separate work and personal life, it might even serve as motivation and be a good thing."

Then, the conversation shifted to a powerful scene where Seo Dong Joo confesses to Yeom Jang Seon about stealing slush funds.

Huh Joon Ho, who plays Yeom Jang Seon, shared how shocked he was during this moment. "I remember Hyung Sik in that scene. He used to look so pretty, but suddenly, he appeared as a man."

He added, "I was so surprised that I kept messing up my lines. I just couldn’t immerse myself in the emotions because I could see how much effort he had put in."

Huh Joon Ho continued, "There were even times when I couldn’t get my emotions up enough to deliver my lines properly. It was our first script reading, and I saw a different Hyung Sik. I kept making mistakes because of that."

He added, "I wanted to make it easier for him to act, so I deliberately kept my distance and acted cold, not showing my usual self. I wanted him to truly hate me, to the point of wanting to kill me in the scene. But in the end, I was the one struggling because I was too surprised by how much he had grown."

Park Hyung Sik also looked back on the moment, saying, "I was so focused and nervous that I didn’t notice much happening around me."

He added, "But later, the director told me that my eyes changed because of the way Huh Joon Ho sunbae acted. I realized that making a scene isn’t just about one person—it’s about the whole picture that Huh Joon Ho sunbae creates."

Meanwhile, SBS’s Buried Hearts follows Seo Dong Joo, a man who hacks into a slush fund worth 2 trillion won.

Determined to take down the absolute evil that tried to kill him, he bets everything on a life-or-death revenge mission. The drama continues to gain popularity, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
