Actor Jo In Sung has finally revealed how his friendship with Hyun Bin began, explaining that the two became close through an actors' gathering led by the late veteran actor Ahn Sung Ki.
During an interview in Seoul on November 10 for his Netflix film Possible Love, Jo In Sung addressed the curiosity surrounding his relationship with Hyun Bin after their friendly interaction at a recent awards ceremony caught attention.
The two actors were spotted chatting and hugging at the 46th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards, where Jo In Sung received the Best Actor award for Hope, while Hyun Bin was recognized in the OTT series category.
Their comfortable interaction surprised some viewers, especially since the two stars have never appeared together in the same drama or film.
When asked about their friendship, Jo In Sung explained that their conversation at the ceremony was nothing unusual.
"It was just a casual conversation with Hyun Bin. He's a younger actor I really like and someone I sincerely support as a fellow actor," he shared.
He added with a laugh, "There's no reason for us not to be close."
Jo In Sung then revealed that their friendship goes back to a private gathering of actors organized by the late Ahn Sung Ki.
"Although Hyun Bin and I have never worked together, we used to attend an actors' gathering when senior Ahn Sung Ki was still alive," he explained.
The actor shared that both he and Hyun Bin were among the youngest members of the group.
"We were the youngest members. I was originally the youngest, and then Hyun Bin joined later. Senior Ahn Sung Ki was the president of that gathering," he recalled.
His explanation revealed how the two actors developed a friendship outside their professional projects, despite never sharing the screen.
Meanwhile, Jo In Sung has been busy with several major acting projects this year, including Humint, Hope, and Possible Love. He is also working on the second season of Disney+'s Moving.
His latest film, Possible Love, directed by Lee Chang Dong, was released on Netflix on November 6. The film also stars Jeon Do Yeon, Sul Kyung Gu, and Jo Yeo Jeong.
With Jo In Sung finally sharing the story behind their connection, the warm interaction between him and Hyun Bin at the awards ceremony has taken on new meaning, showing a friendship that began through their shared circle of senior and fellow actors.
