Gong Yoo bursts into laughter upon seeing Kim Go-eun in full makeup

Actors Gong Yoo and Kim Go-eun proved their unchanging 'real friend chemistry' by showcasing natural banter based on a long-standing friendship that has continued beyond their work together.

In the first episode of the Guardian: The Lonely and Great God 10th Anniversary Trip broadcast on the 4th, Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo In-na were revealed to be starting a special journey, gathering once again to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the drama Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, which aired in 2016.

In the pre-meeting held before the trip, a comfortable atmosphere that only actors who have spent a long time together can show was naturally formed. Gong Yoo, who arrived at the meeting spot first, burst into laughter as soon as he saw Kim Go-eun appear, and Kim Go-eun made an embarrassed expression, asking, "Why are you laughing?" at the unexpected reaction, turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

Looking at Kim Go-eun's makeup, Gong Yoo asked, "You came straight from work," and Kim Go-eun explained that she joined them immediately after finishing the press conference schedule for Yumi's Cells Season 3. At this, Gong Yoo revealed he had already checked Kim Go-eun's official schedule by saying, "It's exactly like the video released today," offering a glimpse into the intimate relationship between the two.

Following this, Gong Yoo jokingly teased, "You must have thought it would be better to just come since you were already in full makeup," and Kim Go-eun showed her characteristic easygoing charm by honestly replying, "I was going to wash off the makeup, but my manager told me not to." As natural conversation and pleasant jokes continued, they provided comfortable laughter not only to the cast but also to the viewers.

This meeting was even more meaningful as the actors, who have steadily maintained their connection since the drama ended, gathered in one place for the first time in a long while. In particular, their friendship, which has continued in real life beyond their synergy in the work, created natural laughter and chemistry without exaggerated variety show production, once again confirming their unchanging teamwork even after 10 years have passed.

Immediately after the broadcast, viewers showed high interest in their reunion, reacting with comments such as, "It's good to see the atmosphere is still so comfortable even after time has passed," "The chemistry of the Guardian team is still the same," and "The naturalness, as if old friends met, was impressive."
