We both laughed for about three minutes straight.”
The actress also shared a lighthearted moment with director Lee Eun Bok, joking that the attention they received could ultimately benefit the drama. Lee humorously added, “I’m willing to provide more photos of the two of them. I’ve secured about 100 photos that were taken at that time.”
Her co-star, Lee Yeol Eum, expressed her surprise over the dating rumors, stating that she couldn’t react in any way but laughter. Kim Yoo Jung took the speculation positively, emphasizing that it meant more eyes would be on Dear X.
This K-Drama is set to premiere on November 6 at 6 PM KST on TVING. As anticipation builds, it remains to be seen how the rumors will influence viewership and fan engagement. Stay tuned for more updates as the premiere date approaches.
