Kapanlagi.com - In the South Korean entertainment world, relationships between artists often attract public attention. This time, we discuss the interaction between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Yoo Jung, when both acted in the drama The Moon Embraces The Sun in 2012. Despite their significant age difference, Kim Soo Hyun's comments about Kim Yoo Jung when she was 13 years old elicited various reactions, especially after his case with Kim Sae Ron came to light.
At that time, 24-year-old Kim Soo Hyun played the main male character, while Kim Yoo Jung portrayed the young version of the main female character. On one occasion, Kim Soo Hyun stated, "I may see her as a baby, but seeing her in person, she has charisma, is brave, and smart. I don't see her youth. I hope she matures more and I think she could soon play my partner."
This comment shows how much admiration Kim Soo Hyun has for Kim Yoo Jung, although some people find his statement inappropriate given Kim Yoo Jung's age at that time.
