Chae Soo-bin met with Sports Chosun at the King Kong by Starship headquarters in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul on the 8th and said, `We were not close to companies like Yoo Yeon-seok"I thought we'd win the Best Couple Award"
MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Phone You Called Now' is a work that depicts the secret romance reel of a show window couple in their third year of marriage, which began with a threatening phone call. Chae Soo-bin played the role of Hong Hee-joo, a sign language interpreter, in 'Jigeojeon'.
Until the last episode, the highest viewer rating was 8.6% (provided by Nielsen Korea, nationwide), and the audience was excited as Hong Hee-joo and her husband Baek Sa-eon (Yu Yeon-seok) began as a couple and gradually fell in love with each other.
Chae Soo-bin responded to the great response to the 「Sajoo(Sageun+Heeju) Couple」"This work is especially a work that shared a lot of opinions and communicated with Yeon-seok (Yoo). Not only the love spirit, but also other emotional scenes. We came up with ideas and shared opinions with each other, but it was a new experience. As we talked together, I think the gods came out so well."
At the same time, he also told me about his friendship with Yoo Yeon-seok. Chae Soo-bin and Yoo Yeon-seok worked together for the first time with this work, but there were many observations that they must have been close before filming as they were a member of King Kong by Starship.
However, Chae Soo-bin said, `Even if it's the same company, actors don't come to work, so they don't meet. So we couldn't get close. Until the beginning of the play, Yeon-seok (Yoo) was also shy rather than approaching first. In the beginning of the work, Hee-ju and Sa-eon played a role that was far from each other, so we actually had a good relationship."
As an opportunity to get closer, "I think I got closer gradually by communicating one way or another. I don't remember clearly, but I filmed a scene where I went to the workshop in Sangju, and Yeon-seok (Yoo) made me a place to eat with the actors. At the same time, I think I've become comfortable with people, he recalled.
In the recently released making video, they have become close enough to tickle each other. Chae Soo-bin said "Our drama is mainly about Hee-joo and Sageon, rather than the stories of many people. There were many scenes where the two met, so we had no choice but to get close. Yeon-seok took good care of each other, and I think we overcame each other's difficult points together."
Thanks to the extraordinary 'chemistry', he won the Best Couple Award at the '2024 MBC Acting Awards'. Chae Soo-bin, who was the MC at the time, actually expected it. I was the MC, and I was making a fuss about the best couple award. It felt so good to receive it in person. After receiving it, I didn't talk much with Yeon-seok. Still, it seems that the main story of romance among the 2024 MBC dramas was only our drama and 'flowers blooming at night', but our drama did it a little later. I thought I would get it because it's an award from a netizen," he said with a smile.
