A humorous anecdote about actors Kim Moo-yeol and Heo Nam-jun, both recently seen in successful projects, has been revealed.
Kim Moo-yeol appeared as a guest on the July 1 broadcast of tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block,’ where he shared various stories.
The Netflix series ‘Teach You a Lesson,’ starring Kim Moo-yeol, topped global charts just three days after its June 5 release and has maintained its popularity for four consecutive weeks.
During the discussion of his work, Yoo Jae-suk mentioned Heo Nam-jun, who had appeared in a previous episode and named Kim Moo-yeol as his ‘role model.’
Heo Nam-jun garnered significant attention for his role in the SBS drama ‘My Royal Nemesis,’ which concluded on June 20.
The two actors’ connection began when they starred together in the 2023 Netflix series ‘Sweet Home Season 2’; they also share the commonality of being university juniors.
Kim Moo-yeol recounted an anecdote, saying, “As both our projects succeeded, I thought I should offer congratulations. When I contacted him to say, ‘Congratulations to both of us,’ he replied, ‘I’ve finally had my day.'”
Kim Moo-yeol also revealed that he and Heo Nam-jun bonded over their shared love for working out, adding, “During the ‘Sweet Home Season 2’ shoot, we’d hang from anything we could. A competitive spirit naturally developed between us.”
Recalling the shoot in a small town, Kim Moo-yeol shared, “There was only one gym open late. Even without planning, after a shoot, if I went to the gym, Heo Nam-jun would already be there working out,” illustrating their rivalry in self-discipline.
