00:00Countless on-screen couples in K-dramas have captured the hearts of fans all over the world,
00:04but for some actors, their fictional love story later became a reality.
00:08The most recent case revolves around Kim Woo-sok and Kang Na-on,
00:12who both starred in the upcoming drama Social Savvy Class 101.
00:16In this series, Woo-sok is the popular student and an idol trainee who hides some secrets
00:21and becomes romantically involved with Na-on's character,
00:24who is a social misfit who knows everything about her classmates.
00:27The couple met while filming the series, and it seems like it was love at first sight,
00:32as they quickly developed feelings for each other and began dating soon after filming was completed.
00:38The news has been confirmed by Woo-sok's agency, which asked fans to support the two,
00:43while Na-on's agency still hasn't commented on the matter.
00:45The series hasn't aired as of October 27th, so we don't know how their romance pans out during the show,
00:51but knowing that Woo-sok and Na-on are dating for real,
00:54people are now even more curious about seeing their interactions.
00:57While some viewers of the show believe that they are doing this just to promote the show,
01:01others think that it's pretty normal for relationships to blossom after working together so much.
01:06Gong Min-jung and Jung Jae-ho are another couple that fell in love while filming a drama this year.
01:10They both starred in the series Marry My Husband, where they played supporting roles as a married couple.
01:15Fiction soon became reality for them,
01:17as the two began dating not long after they finished filming the series.
01:21The news of their relationship was confirmed by Min-jung in August,
01:24and she also shared that she already knew Jae-ho before meeting him again while filming the drama.
01:29She revealed that they were already friends,
01:31but apparently acting as a married couple made both of them realize that they had feelings for each other.
01:36The couple has already tied the knot, holding their wedding in a private ceremony this past September,
01:40which was attended by several actors, including many who have also starred in Marry My Husband.
01:46Both Min-jung and Jae-ho have talked about their relationship, expressing their gratitude and their love for each other,
01:52so it's obvious that fans are really happy for them.
01:55However, not all couples who fall in love on set end up staying together,
01:58and in fact, many have later broken up.
02:01This was the case for Lee Sung-kyung and Nam-ju Hyuk,
02:05who starred as the leading couple in the 2017 drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bak-ju.
02:10They actually already knew each other, as they had worked together on some modeling gigs years earlier,
02:15and they both starred in the series Cheese in the Trap.
02:18However, acting as a couple in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bak-ju is what really sparked their love,
02:23as they were often hugging and kissing while filming.
02:26Seeing their interactions in the drama, fans soon began speculating that they were dating for real,
02:32and their relationship was confirmed in April 2017.
02:34However, their love story didn't last long, and by the following August, they had already broken up.
02:40Apparently, they started to grow apart from each other due to their busy schedules,
02:44but the exact reason behind the breakup wasn't revealed since it was deemed a personal matter.
02:50One of the most famous cases of a couple forming on set and then breaking up
02:54revolves around Song-jung-ky and Song-hye-kyo.
02:57Their love story began in 2015 when they were filming the drama Descendants of the Sun,
03:02in which they acted as a military officer and a surgeon who developed feelings for each other.
03:08As the series aired, fans grew to love the on-screen couple,
03:11and when Jung-ky and Hyekyo were spotted together in various locations,
03:15people started speculating that they were dating for real.
03:18The rumors were denied several times,
03:20but then it was suddenly revealed that not only were they dating,
03:24but also that they were about to get married.
03:26A close friend of the couple revealed that they fell in love with each other
03:29while filming Descendants of the Sun, and they began dating soon afterward.
03:33They apparently didn't hide the relationship at all from their friends and family,
03:36and everyone around them knew about it.
03:38However, they didn't want the news to be reported to the media,
03:42as they preferred to announce their relationship themselves.
03:45Jung-ky and Hyekyo tied the knot in October 2017
03:48in a luxurious ceremony attended by several celebrities.
03:51Everything seemed to suggest that the couple was going to last,
03:54but rumors about a possible breakup began to circulate
03:57after Hyekyo was seen without her wedding ring.
04:00Indeed, in June 2019, it was shockingly revealed
04:03that the two had filed for divorce, not even two years after their wedding.
04:06Rumors and speculation about the reasons behind the split
04:09ran wild over the following months,
04:11especially because Jung-ky said just a few weeks earlier
04:14that he was emotionally stable
04:15and nothing had changed in the relationship with his former wife.
04:19Hyekyo's agency released a statement
04:21saying that the breakup was caused by a difference in personality,
04:25which the pair wasn't able to overcome.
04:27Sometime later, it was revealed that it was Jung-ky who filed for divorce,
04:31and he apparently did so without even telling Hyekyo at all.
04:34No further details were given,
04:36so we still don't know what really happened between them,
04:38but there have been rumors that Jung-ky
04:40might have had an affair with his makeup artist.
04:43An even more controversial case is the story of Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yol.
04:47They met while filming the drama Reply 1988 together in 2015,
04:52playing the roles of two childhood friends
04:54who grew up in the same neighborhood.
04:56While the series was airing,
04:58fans loved the interactions between them,
05:00and many wanted to see them as a real couple.
05:03They soon started to post pictures together
05:04and comment on each other's posts online,
05:07so rumors about a possible relationship between them started to circulate.
05:11After months of speculation in August 2017,
05:14Jun-yol's agency confirmed that he was indeed in a relationship with Hyeri.
05:19Apparently, even their co-stars from Reply 1988 were surprised by the news,
05:23but fans were over the moon,
05:25and Jun-yol and Hyeri became one of the most beloved couples in Korean entertainment.
05:29Over the following years,
05:31they discussed their relationship multiple times,
05:33sharing their happiness and their affection for each other
05:36to the delight of fans worldwide.
05:38So, fans were completely shocked
05:40when it was suddenly announced
05:41that they had broken up in November 2023,
05:44after more than six years together.
05:46While everything had seemed perfect on the surface,
05:49netizens soon discovered that Hyeri had previously made various comments
05:53that suggested that her relationship with Jun-yol was struggling,
05:56and a source close to the pair stated
05:58that they actually broke up in February 2023.
06:02Distance and busy schedules were given
06:04as reasons behind their breakup.
06:06However, their split became much more controversial
06:09when Jun-yol was spotted with Han So-hi,
06:11and they soon confirmed their relationship.
06:14This led to a whole series of scandals
06:16with a ton of controversial posts and comments online,
06:19which sparked a lot of discussion among netizens,
06:22with many blaming So-hi for causing the split between Hyeri and Jun-yol.
06:26However, after So-hi and Jun-yol broke up,
06:28members of the public started to attack Hyeri instead,
06:32accusing her of causing the breakup between the two.
06:34Now, the once-beloved love story between Hyeri and Jun-yol
06:38is well and truly over,
06:39and it seems like both of them just want to move on.
06:42However, other love stories have instead remained stable over the years.
