Song Hye-kyo reacts playfully to Gong Yoo's compliments on DdeunDdeun

Actors Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo displayed natural chemistry during a YouTube appearance on the DdeunDdeun channel on the 7th. While preparing for the upcoming Netflix series 'Tantara', Song Hye-kyo joked about being teased for her 161cm height after Gong Yoo complimented her youthful appearance.

Actors Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo displayed exceptional chemistry through playful banter. While Song Hye-kyo gave an unexpected reaction to Gong Yoo's affectionate compliments, the conversation drew attention as it ranged from playful jokes about her 161cm height to anecdotes regarding her youthful appearance that makes her look younger than her actual age.

On the 7th, a video titled "[Hint Cam] 124th Stepmother Meeting Participant | To be released 11/14 9 AM" was posted on the YouTube channel DdeunDdeun. The video featured actors Gong Yoo and Song Hye-kyo ahead of their upcoming project, and Yoo Jae-suk welcomed them by saying, "Two splendid people have arrived today," to set the mood.

During the appearance, Yoo Jae-suk asked Gong Yoo if he has a hasty personality. When Gong Yoo replied, "I'm not that hasty," Song Hye-kyo immediately added, "He's not that relaxed either." Yoo Jae-suk welcomed the natural rapport between the two, noting, "The chemistry is good," after Song Hye-kyo accurately pinpointed Gong Yoo's temperament.

An interesting conversation followed regarding their debut periods. When Yoo Jae-suk asked if they debuted around the same time, Song Hye-kyo confidently replied, "I am the senior." Gong Yoo, who is in his 26th year since debut, drew laughter by making a gesture of relaxing his legs at her declaration of seniority. It was a moment that highlighted Song Hye-kyo's long career in the entertainment industry as she marks her 30th anniversary since debut this year.

Song Hye-kyo also explained how she entered the entertainment industry, stating, "I started with a school uniform selection contest." In response, Gong Yoo complimented her unchanging youthful beauty, saying, "You would look pretty even if you wore a school uniform now." However, contrary to expectations, Song Hye-kyo immediately reacted indignantly, saying, "You're saying that because I'm small. You tease me every day," which turned the scene into a fit of laughter.

Song Hye-kyo, whose profile lists her height as 161cm, reacted playfully as if she is often teased about her short stature. She revealed her honest and easygoing side by interpreting Gong Yoo's compliment as a joke about her height. The jokes between the two blended naturally with Song Hye-kyo's appearance, which maintains a girl-like quality despite her long career.

Song Hye-kyo also shared an anecdote about her appearance making her look younger than her actual age. "If I'm feeling very bored, I'll think, 'I should buy a bottle of wine on my way in and have a glass,' but when I actually go, it's like I'm 18 years old, so they won't sell it to me," she said, laughing loudly. She explained that despite having been an adult for a long time, her youthful looks that lead to being mistaken for a minor can cause unexpected inconveniences.

The two are preparing for the release of the new Netflix series 'Tantara' by writer Noh Hee-kyung. Set in the Korean entertainment industry of the 1960s–1980s, a period marked by savagery and violence, the work depicts the growth stories of individuals who lacked resources but threw themselves into pursuing brilliant success. Expectations are high for the acting chemistry between Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo, both of whom have built long acting careers, in this upcoming work.
