On April 2, Shin Hyun-joon took to Instagram, sharing several photos with hashtags like 'Old Couple' and 'Not Close'.
The photos revealed a text exchange between Shin Hyun-joon and Jung Joon-ho. Jung Joon-ho mentioned receiving numerous calls from acquaintances due to an article claiming he invested 3 billion won in Shin Hyun-joon's film. Shin Hyun-joon simply replied, "April Fools'."
Relieved, Jung Joon-ho playfully complained, "I'm getting calls from everywhere." Shin Hyun-joon humorously responded, "You sent a 30,000 won coffee truck and made it seem like a 3 billion won investment," referring to a coffee truck Jung Joon-ho sent to the set of Shin Hyun-joon's movie 'Wanted'.
Previously, on April 1, Shin Hyun-joon had posted on his account, "Jung Joon-ho has invested his precious 3 billion won in my movie. His kids are still young. It must succeed."
Meanwhile, 'Wanted' is a joint production between Korea and Taiwan. It is a doppelganger comedy about a common man, Hyun-joon, who gets caught up in an unexpected commotion due to a criminal named Cheol-gu who looks exactly like him. The film stars Shin Hyun-joon, Kim Byung-man, and Taiwanese actress Regina Lei, generating buzz.
