Actress Kim Yoo Jung’s behind-the-scenes photos have reignited fans’ hopes that she might reunite with Park Bo Gum, despite him having no connection to her current project. The photos were shared recently by his agency and were taken during the filming and filming segments for his drama’s magazine Dear Xwhere he plays Baek Ah Jin. In the photos, Kim Yoo Jung wears a modern hanbok with a poised and aristocratic look, her icy gaze and refined posture exuding an elegant and mature aura.
In early October this year, actor Park Bo Gum caused a stir on social media across Asia with his hanbok image for Hanbok Wave 2025, exuding a noble yet mysterious vibe. The two hanbok shoots were released within a few months of each other and their aesthetics were strikingly similar, which sparked nostalgia among fans especially since Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung had previously starred together in the popular historical drama. Love in the moonlight.
Given their past chemistry and the corresponding aura of their recent hanbok photos, many fans are now dreaming of a second collaboration. Some suggest that this time they will tackle a darker, more psychological or dramatic plot, perhaps with mature and emotionally intense themes, power struggles or a love full of suffering rather than the light-hearted romance of their first couple.
Love in the moonlight originally based on a web novel that aired in 2016 and took Asia by storm with its gentle, funny story and palpable chemistry between the protagonists. Even today the cast remains close. Earlier this year, in a nostalgic reunion, Kim Yoo Jung joined Jinyoung and Kwak Dong Yeon as guest stars in the first episode of The seasons: Cantabile by Park Bo-gum.
Now, with these new images of Kim Yoo Jung matching the aesthetic that fans associate with Park Bo Gum’s recent hanbok shoot, many are hoping that the two can reunite on screen this time bringing a more mature and refined atmosphere and possibly a darker and more intense narrative.
