In a recent appearance on the Netflix Korea channel, actress Myung Se Bin shared an unexpected encounter with a younger admirer during a promotional event for the new JTBC K-Drama, The Story of Manager Kim, set to air soon. The conversation unfolded with host Yoo Byung Jae, who noted that Myung Se Bin appears remarkably youthful for her age.
During the segment, Yoo Byung Jae mentioned that the actress had been approached by a man who was 17 years her junior. Myung Se Bin recounted, “It wasn’t overseas, but at a beach in Korea. Someone much younger than me approached me. They didn’t know who I was. I was wearing a hat and sunglasses. He asked me where I’m from. I told him to have fun, but he kept talking to me.”
Intrigued by her story, Yoo Byung Jae pressed for more details. Myung explained that she initially tried to deflect his interest by revealing their age difference. “I told him that I was much older and asked him to stop. He asked how much older, and I did a rough calculation. It’s quite an age difference. 14? 15 years,” she said.
Ryu Seung Ryong, her co-star, chimed in, expressing amusement at the situation. “That’s so interesting, that guy. Must mean he’s healthy,” he remarked. Myung Se Bin responded with gratitude, eliciting laughter from the audience.
The upcoming drama, The Story of Manager Kim, is based on a popular web novel and follows the life of a middle-aged man who experiences a sudden downfall and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The show is generating considerable buzz ahead of its release, reflecting the growing interest in K-Dramas both domestically and internationally.
As the promotion continues, Myung Se Bin and Ryu Seung Ryong’s engaging discussions highlight not only the project they are working on but also the lighter moments that arise in the world of entertainment. Fans eagerly await the premiere, hoping to see more of the chemistry between the stars in this intriguing new series.
