Model Lee Sang-yoon, who is in a public relationship with actress Ki Hui-hyeon from the group DIA, revealed unexpected admiration for actress Kim Ji-won. After capturing Kim's appearance at an event and posting the video to social media, he even mentioned her character name from a drama, drawing attention to Kim's real-life beauty and Lee's witty reaction.

On the 28th, Lee Sang-yoon posted a video to his social media story with the short caption, "Hong Hae-in...." The video shows Kim Ji-won attending a brand event held at a gallery in Dosan-daero, Gangnam District, Seoul. The footage appears to have been filmed by Lee himself at the scene.

Kim Ji-won appeared in a sophisticated style, matching a black jacket with neat, short hair. She displayed her characteristic elegant and calm atmosphere while smiling brightly and waving to fans and the press. Although the video is short, it seemed sufficient to capture the attention of Lee Sang-yoon at the venue.

In particular, attention was drawn to the fact that Lee Sang-yoon wrote "Hong Hae-in"—the name of Kim's character in the tvN drama 'Queen of Tears'—instead of her real name. By doing so, he naturally demonstrated his fan status by showing he remembers her character from the work. Netizens have shown interest in the post, which records the moment he encountered the character who left a strong impression in the drama in real life.

Lee Sang-yoon, a former baseball player, gained recognition after appearing as a "catfish man" on the Channel A dating variety show 'Heart Pairing'. He is currently active as a model and is known to be in his sixth year in the industry. He has continued his modeling career after becoming known to the public through broadcasts.

His romantic relationship is also garnering attention. Lee Sang-yoon is in a public relationship with actress Ki Hui-hyeon, who debuted with DIA in 2015 and expanded her career as an actress and influencer after appearing on Mnet's 'Produce 101'. The two revealed their relationship when Lee posted CCTV footage of them together during a trip to Osaka, Japan, this past June.

Ki Hui-hyeon, born in 1995, and Lee Sang-yoon, born in 1996, are a couple with a one-year age difference. Recently, interest has risen regarding whether they are preparing for marriage following news that they shot wedding pictorials at a five-star hotel in Seoul. However, the wedding pictorial shoot alone does not confirm marriage or specific plans.

Lee Sang-yoon, who has drawn attention through his public relationship and marriage rumors, has created unexpected buzz this time by capturing Kim Ji-won's real-life appearance. Following his sweet public relationship with his partner Ki Hui-hyeon, attention is focused on his social media posts as he reveals his fan admiration for 'Queen of Tears' character Hong Hae-in.
