Kim Ji-won's response to "You're so pretty" triggers "You know it!" reaction—even her arrogance is pretty

Actress Kim Ji-won gave an unexpected answer to a compliment about her appearance, leaving Yoo Byung-jae flustered. To the remark "You are so pretty," her response was "You know it!" As it sounded like a reply that took her being pretty for granted, Yoo Byung-jae reacted immediately, and Kim Ji-won later stepped in to clarify, bringing laughter.

On the 8th, a video titled "[Pure] Queen of Tears Kim Ji-won and tearful empathy" was released on the YouTube channel 'Yoo Byung-jae'. In the video, Kim Ji-won communicated with viewers by taking phone calls alongside Yoo Byung-jae. The recording took place on September 1st, and the two shared various stories through phone connections.

On this day, one viewer gave Kim Ji-won a warm greeting along with a compliment on her appearance, saying, "Hello. You are so pretty." However, Kim Ji-won's answer was slightly different from expectations. Without hesitation, she replied, "You know it! Thank you," instantly changing the atmosphere of the conversation.

Hearing this from the side, Yoo Byung-jae burst into laughter immediately. He asked back, "Do you answer 'You know it!' to 'You are so pretty'?" This was because, contrary to the expectation that she would shyly express gratitude upon hearing a compliment, her reaction was as if the other person had only just realized her beauty. Yoo Byung-jae could not hide his bewilderment at the strange nuance created by that short phrase.

Kim Ji-won soon smiled and moved to clarify. She corrected the misunderstanding by explaining, "No, I meant you know my existence!", clarifying that she did not mean to say that the other person also knew the fact that she is pretty. It was a misunderstanding that occurred while trying to express joy that the viewer recognized her and called. Laughter spread through the scene as the unexpected slip of the tongue was followed by a witty recovery.

While Kim Ji-won has usually captivated viewers with her serious and delicate acting in her works, in this video, she revealed a different charm through her unadorned way of speaking and unexpected reactions. In particular, the natural chemistry between the two stood out as Yoo Byung-jae reacted instantly to a single remark that could be interpreted differently from her intention.

Kim Ji-won will return to living rooms through the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia', which premieres on the 9th. She plays the role of Gye Su-jeong, a surgeon with genius surgical skills who does not compromise with the internal power and practices of the hospital. While Kim Ji-won transforms into a cold-headed doctor in the work, she showed another side on YouTube by bringing laughter with an unexpected remark.
