K-drama star Kwak Dong Yeon recently opened up about his playful relationship with Queen of Tears co-star Kim Soo Hyun, sharing a light-hearted story that had fans in stitches. During an exclusive interview with Japanese media outlet CREA, Kwak Dong Yeon reflected on his experience working with Kim Soo Hyun, their dynamics on set, and a memorable moment when the latter hilariously failed to recognize him during a game at a fan sign event.

When asked about his thoughts on reuniting with Kim Soo Hyun after their brief collaboration in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, Kwak Dong Yeon was full of praise for his senior. “Kim Soo Hyun is undoubtedly a wonderful actor,” he shared, adding that the former always brightens the atmosphere on set and makes it enjoyable, making them have a really great time acting together. 

However, it was a recent incident at one of Kim Soo Hyun’s fan meetings that had both actors and fans laughing. As part of the event, Kim was tasked with identifying photos of his co-stars. To everyone’s amusement, he successfully recognized most of his fellow actors except Kwak Dong Yeon. Laughing about the incident, Kwak Dong Yeon playfully remarked, “When I found that out, I thought, ‘Maybe I should keep my distance from him!’”
