Seo Kang-jun lifts Ahn Eun-jin onto his shoulder in viral clip

Actor Seo Kang-jun has captured attention after a clip surfaced of him lightly lifting Ahn Eun-jin onto his shoulder, highlighting the duo's exceptional chemistry and Seo's impressive physique. The natural atmosphere, reminiscent of a real couple, combined with an unexpected display of strength, is driving up anticipation for their new drama.

On the 22nd, the official KBS drama account released a couple challenge video featuring Seo Kang-jun and Ahn Eun-jin, the leads of the upcoming KBS 2TV weekend drama "A Love Other Than Yours".

In the video, the two stood side by side posing for the camera. During the shoot, Seo suddenly leaned down to wrap his arms around Ahn's legs and, without warning, lifted her up.

After placing Ahn on one shoulder, Seo maintained his posture while bracing himself against a wall with one hand. Even while lifting his co-star, he appeared relaxed and effortless, showcasing his broad shoulders and sturdy build.

Rather than being flustered, Ahn sat stably on Seo's shoulder, waving her hands and making playful expressions. The sight of the two syncing up so naturally during such a sudden moment drew laughter from viewers.

The video drew even more attention because the two stars play a couple of 10 years in the drama. Beyond a simple promotional challenge, they displayed a level of comfort and trust typically seen in long-term partners.

"A Love Other Than Yours" is a realistic melodrama depicting a couple in their 10th year of dating as they encounter unexpected emotions within a relationship built on familiarity. The series explores the continuity and evolution of love, questioning whether long-term relationships always lead to stability and happiness.

Seo plays Namgoong Ho, a man who has been dating Ahn's character for 10 years. As the pair must portray the comfort, boredom, and eventual cracks that emerge in long-term romances, they are expected to deliver a realistic emotional depth that goes beyond standard romantic comedies.

Seo has been expanding his acting range by showcasing a more mature image and stable performances in projects following his military service. Ahn has also earned acclaim for her versatile acting across various genres in works such as "My Dearest," "The Good Bad Mother," and "Hospital Playlist," making this pairing a major highlight of the series.

This "shoulder lift" moment serves as a glimpse into the relationship between the two characters. The playful intimacy and physical proximity, paired with Seo's commanding physique, are heightening interest in the romance set to unfold in the series.

"A Love Other Than Yours" is scheduled to premiere on September 12 at 9:20 PM.
