Actress Ryu Hyo-young confessed her fondness for actor Lee Tae-sung, who had been her co-star.
On the broadcast of Channel A's "Groom Class 2" on the 6th, a gathering featuring Lee Tae-sung, former volleyball player Kim Yo-han, actress Ryu Hyo-young, and Oh Yeon-hee was revealed.
In the broadcast, Kim Yo-han came to pick up Lee Tae-sung, his friend of the same age born in 1985. Sitting in the passenger seat, Lee Tae-sung joked, "Isn't this seat only for Yeon-hee?" Oh Yeon-hee is Kim Yo-han's girlfriend.
Lee Tae-sung asked, "Isn't there an 11-year age gap? Aren't you feeling sorry about it?" He added, "I think I would feel a bit sorry. It's not like a 6- or 7-year gap; once it goes over ten years, I think one would feel sorry." Kim Yo-han replied, "Yeon-hee makes me not feel any generational difference at all," expressing affection.
The conversation then shifted to Lee Tae-sung's recent status. Kim Yo-han asked, "Was there a reason things didn't work out with the veterinarian this time?"
Lee Tae-sung said, "When we met and talked back then, there were some differences in our values, and I think the direction and pace of life that person envisioned did not quite match what I thought." He added, "Since that person also has their own dreams and things they want to do, we decided to remain good friends while cheering for them."
Lee Tae-sung had previously gone on a blind date with Cho Hui-jin, a veterinarian and dentist one year older than him, on this program.
The two then arrived at Han River. Ryu Hyo-young and Oh Yeon-hee were waiting there.
At the gathering, Ryu Hyo-young shared an anecdote about Lee Tae-sung's kindness. She praised him by saying, "I have not seen anyone as gentle as Oppa Lee Tae-sung while working on projects so far." She explained that she did not have a management agency at the time and was at a loss for how to travel to the filming location in Mungyeong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, but upon learning of her situation, Lee Tae-sung gave her a ride in his car.
Ryu Hyo-young confessed, "I wanted to treat him to a meal after filming ended out of gratitude, but I couldn't meet him because he didn't respond to my messages." She added, "I tried contacting him three or four times, but all were ignored."
As criticism poured in from the studio, Lee Tae-sung looked flustered and explained, "It was unavoidable because I was preparing for an exhibition in China."
Recalling his first meeting with Ryu Hyo-young, Lee Tae-sung said, "We exchanged greetings and then kissed right away," sparking excitement. Hyo-young recalled, "He just went ahead and gave me a peck on the cheek."
Kim Yo-han asked, "Do emotions come up while acting?" Ryu Hyo-young answered, "I had no emotions at all," and Lee Tae-sung agreed.
The two said they met several times in golf gatherings after the drama ended. Lee Tae-sung said, "I was really surprised that Hyo-young plays golf well like a professional." Ryu Hyo-young revealed, "I wanted to play from the white tees with Oppa Lee Tae-sung, so I practiced hard the night before."
When asked about their ideal type, Ryu Hyo-young said, "I like someone who is considerate, responsible, and diligent," and regarding appearance, she answered, "A gentle man with a double eyelid look, tanned skin, and pretty hands." When Kim Yo-han remarked, "Isn't that all Tae-sung?" Hyo-young replied, "His hands are pretty," and took Lee Tae-sung's hand to show everyone, surprising the audience.
In an interview with the production team, Ryu Hyo-young confessed, "I had a fondness for him in everyday life. I felt that if I stayed quiet, I would miss the opportunity, so I gathered the courage to arrange this gathering," revealing that her fondness for Lee Tae-sung was what led her to appear on the show.
