Without missing a beat, Lee Sun-bin smiled brightly and replied: “Of course. Definitely.” His confident and cheerful response drew laughter and applause from the audience, with Jo Jae-yoon quickly responding, “Thank you!”
During the Best Couple Award segment, determined by viewer votes, Lee was nominated alongside the actor Kim Young-dae for their roles in To the Moon. Reflecting on their kissing scene, he explained, “Our kiss scene felt more like an action sequence. We had to rehearse it a lot, so it almost felt like choreography,” before shyly admitting, “Now that I say it I feel embarrassed.”
When asked about their prize promise, she joked, “The young dae will be enlisting soon, so if we win as a couple, I might consider visiting him during his military service. He’s nice, right?” His humorous tone drew laughter, showcasing his natural talent for live television.
However, the light-heartedness took another turn when he was a guest Kim Sung-joo asked unexpectedly, “Kim Young-dae… or Lee Kwang-soo?”-a cheeky reference to her real-life boyfriend. Taken by surprise, Lee Sun-bin jokingly deflected with, “Kim Sung-joo”, prompting uproarious laughter from the crowd.
This isn’t the first time the couple has made headlines for their endearing public interactions. Just a month earlier, al 46th edition of the Blue Dragon Film AwardsLee Sun-bin was seen jokingly imitating binoculars with her hands to focus on Lee Kwang-soo as he appeared on stage as a host. The sweet gesture caused laughter among the audience and left Lee Kwang-soo visibly flustered, using his cue to cover his face in embarrassment.
Lee Sun-bin and Lee Kwang-soo are widely known as one of the most beloved “long-term couples” in the industry. Their relationship began after meeting on SBS Running Man in 2016. Since confirming their relationship in 2018, they have remained relatively low-key but have supported each other’s careers.
Although the two have not made any official announcements regarding their wedding, fans continue to root for the couple, and moments like these only deepen the public’s affection for their ongoing romance.
As the year ended, Lee Sun-bin’s composed yet loving response at the awards once again reminded fans why she and Lee Kwang-soo remain one of the most admired couples in Korean entertainment.
