Shin Min Ah – Kim Woo Bin who are cool with starring in different love lines vs. Seo Ye Ji – Kim Jung Hyun’s manipulation controversy
There is a reason why Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin have been happily dating for 7 years.
On casting Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin, who have been openly dating for 7 years, in tvN’s new drama ‘Our Blues‘ and putting them in different love lines, writer Noh Hee Kyung said, “I didn’t think it would work if I put the two together. We talked about it. I said I hoped they understood that they would be in different love lines, and I’m glad that they were fine with it. They are great actors so they wanted to do it. They are so cool with it that I didn’t have any other worries.”
In the upcoming omnibus-style drama ‘Our Blues‘, which depicts the life stories of various characters against the backdrop of the warm and bustling Jeju Island with the cold and rough ocean, Shin Min Ah will star in a romance alongside Lee Byung Hun, while Kim Woo Bin will become a couple with Han Ji Min.
At the press conference of ‘Our Blues‘ held on April 7th, the cast talked about the chemistry and teamwork they had with their on-screen romantic partners. Shin Min Ah praised Lee Byung Hun, whom she worked with for the third time, saying, “He got cooler.” Kim Woo Bin said, “It felt refreshing” about working with Han Ji Min.
Such professionalism and coolness of Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin, as shown through how they respect the characteristics of their jobs as actors, support each other’s paths, and show affection for each other in personal time, makes us feel the depth of the love and trust they have built for 7 years since 2015.
Shin Min Ah‘s support for her boyfriend, such as always staying by Kim Woo Bin’s side when he was battling nasopharyngeal cancer, and having meals together at the same agency, has always been a hot topic.
This reminds many netizens of an opposite situation involving Seo Ye Ji and Kim Jung Hyun, who were criticized for the gaslighting and manipulation controversy.
In April of last year, reports broke out that Seo Ye Ji manipulated her ex-boyfriend and actor Kim Jung Hyun from behind. When Kim Jung Hyun was filming for the 2018 MBC drama ‘Time’, he was dating Seo Ye Ji, and Seo Ye Ji tried to control Kim Jung Hyun by telling him to not have physical contact with his female co-star Seohyun.
According to the conversation between the two released by Dispatch, Seo Ye Ji sent a message to Kim Jung Hyun, saying, “Change the script so it won’t include any romantic scenes. No romance or skinship.” As a result, suspicions arose that Kim Jung Hyun changed some lines and skinship scenes in ‘Time‘ to follow Seo Ye Ji’s request.
In addition, at the press conference of ‘Time‘, Kim Jung Hyun caused controversy by not looking at Seohyun and refusing to touch her. He later dropped out of the drama halfway through its run, affecting the entire cast and crew.
This uncool and toxic relationship didn’t last long. Seo Ye Ji and Kim Jung Hyun admitted the mistake of dating immaturely. In their future relationships, hopefully, they will emulate Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin, who silently care for each other for a long time.
