Koo Jae-yi Reveals Unexpected Friendship with Shin Hyun-bin

Model-turned-actress Koo Jae-yi has revealed her unexpected friendship with actress Shin Hyun-bin.

On the 9th, Koo Jae-yi posted on her account, 'Meeting a friend for the first time since coming to Tokyo. Just like in Lyon, now in Tokyo too,' along with a photo.

In the released photo, the two are seen taking a friendly selfie. Koo Jae-yi, who lived in Lyon, France for a long time until recently, is presumed to have met Shin Hyun-bin there as well. The two displayed their close friendship with casual outfits and minimal makeup.

Meanwhile, Koo Jae-yi, born in 1986, is 38 years old this year. She started her acting career in 2012 after working as a model. She married a university professor, who is five years her senior, in December 2018 after a year of dating, and gave birth to a son in December 2020.

Shin Hyun-bin is currently playing the role of Ha Yoon-seo in 'Cinderella at 2 AM,' which started airing on Coupang Play and Channel A on the 24th of last month. The drama, based on the web novel of the same name by writer Aigome, depicts the process of a chaebol third-generation and an office worker couple understanding each other better through a breakup after dating for a year and a half.
