Actress Kim Sejeong has issued a heartfelt apology to Kang Tae-oh.
On the 25th, Kim Sejeong and Kang Tae-oh appeared on the YouTube channel 'Yoo Yeon-seok's Weekend Theater(유연석의 주말연석극)'.
During the show, Yoo Yeon-seok welcomed the two, mentioning, "It's my first time meeting Kang Tae-oh, but I've met Kim Sejeong on 'Busted!'." Kim Sejeong added, "I also met Kang Tae-oh for the first time on 'Busted!'."
The two actors are currently starring in the MBC drama 'Moon River', where they play characters who switch bodies. Kim Sejeong described Kang Tae-oh as having a steadfast aura, saying, "Teto and Egen coexist in him. Even the director gives directions like, 'This time, act as Teto.'"
Kang Tae-oh, known as 'Tegen Man', praised Kim Sejeong, saying, "She's a complete bundle of energy. Her enthusiasm and energy have a positive influence. I even asked her, 'What did you do yesterday?'"
Kim Sejeong, often recognized as a mood maker on set, shared that she likes to play pranks or give compliments to lighten the atmosphere. She explained, "It's just my way. If I feel energized, others do too, and I get influenced in return."
Kang Tae-oh revealed, "I thought Sejeong was cool, spirited, and easygoing, but she actually thinks a lot," referencing the 'corn incident'.
The two were tossing and catching corn on set when Kang Tae-oh said, "I told her, 'I'm good at this, throw it to me, I'll catch it.' But Sejeong missed, and it hit me by accident. After filming, I received a long message at night saying, 'I think I was too rude.'"
Kang Tae-oh found the lengthy apology endearing, smiling as he said, "It was so cute." Kim Sejeong admitted, "I worry if I might have crossed the line while trying to lighten the mood. At night, I often think, 'Did I go too far?'"
