Gong Yoo & Seo Hyun-jin Share Behind-the-Scenes of Their Kiss Scene: “Awkward Yet Steamy”

On December 6, Netflix Korea posted a video on their channel with the caption, “Why Did Gong Yoo Laugh at Seo Hyun-jin Calling Him ‘Honey’? | Highlight Interview | Trunk,” which explored key scenes from their drama, including the first meeting of Jeong-won (played by Gong Yoo) and In-ji (played by Seo Hyun-jin).

In the featured scene, In-ji unexpectedly introduces herself as Jeong-won’s wife at a police station and says, “Let’s go, honey.” Gong Yoo admitted that he burst out laughing during filming, “I was so caught off guard when she suddenly called me ‘honey.'”

Seo Hyun-jin teased Gong Yoo, asking if his laughter stemmed from disbelief, to which he agreed, praising her acting skills. “Even the director found it hilarious while watching the scene,” Gong Yoo added.

The video also delved into other pivotal moments, such as the “chandelier scene,” which depicted Jeong-won’s traumatic childhood experience. Gong Yoo shared his personal aversion to chandeliers, “They give off an uneasy, precarious vibe.” Seo Hyun-jin jokingly imagined him owning one in the future, prompting Gong Yoo to laugh and respond, “Maybe when I’m 60, my tastes will change.”

A highlight of their discussion was the tango scene, where In-ji leads Jeong-won, building intimacy between the characters. Gong Yoo speculated, “Jeong-won found In-ji endearing, which is why he impulsively kissed her.”

Reflecting on their kiss scene, both actors expressed embarrassment. Seo Hyun-jin struggled to contain her laughter, while Gong Yoo humorously remarked, “I didn’t use a turn signal; I just went for it,” fanning himself as if flustered. Seo Hyun-jin playfully called him “such a middle-aged man,” laughing at his reaction.

In another emotional scene where Jeong-won tells In-ji, “I missed you,” Gong Yoo commented, “Those words feel even more powerful than saying ‘I love you.'” Both actors also appreciated the lighting effects in their kiss scene, jokingly crediting the director for his encouragement and perfect timing.

The interview revealed the playful chemistry and professionalism of the two leads, heightening anticipation for their drama “The Trunk”.
