Lee Sang Yeob Confesses To Being Scared Of Lee Byung Hun's Reaction To His Kiss Scenes With Lee Min Jung In "Once Again"

Sep 05, 2020

Lee Sang Yeob wasn’t all that happy to hear that Lee Byung Hun—the husband of his “Once Again” co-star Lee Min Jung—has been diligently keeping up with their drama!

On the September 3 premiere of tvN’s new variety show “The Sixth Sense,” Lee Sang Yeob joined cast members Yoo Jae Suk, Jun So Min, Jessi, Lovelyz’s Mijoo, and Oh Na Ra as the program’s very first guest.

As soon as Lee Sang Yeob arrived, Yoo Jae Suk brought up his hit KBS drama “Once Again,” which has consistently been enjoying sky-high viewership ratings. Joking that the female cast members didn’t seem all that excited to see him, Yoo Jae Suk commented, “Compared to the ratings for his drama, the treatment Sang Yeob is getting right now from all of you is a bit lacking. There’s not enough excitement.”

Yoo Jae Suk then asked Lee Sang Yeob, “Your co-star is Lee Min Jung. There are some romantic kiss scenes in the drama. Did it never occur to you that [her husband] Byung Hun might be watching?”

Lee Sang Yeob replied, “Actually, [Lee Min Jung] told me that he watches the show.” He went on to confess, “Whenever she mentions [that he watched it], I find myself flinching involuntarily. I start sweating so much.”

Oh Na Ra joked that Lee Sang Yeob should try calling Lee Byung Hun for his permission before filming kiss scenes, which made Mijoo start giggling. Yoo Jae Suk asked her why she couldn’t stop laughing, and the Lovelyz member replied, “My heart is fluttering.”

However, when Jun So Min pushed her to stand next to Lee Sang Yeob, Mijoo quickly clarified that it wasn’t because of Lee Sang Yeob, exclaiming, “No, no, that’s not it. It’s just [that I got excited hearing about] kiss scenes. Kiss scenes.”

As everyone cracked up, Lee Sang Yeob remarked, “Oh, so it wasn’t about me. I was smiling because I thought it was because of me, but it was just about kiss scenes in general.”

Jun So Min then turned to Lee Sang Yeob and jokingly worried, “Oppa, were you always this unpopular?”
