Actress Han Ji-min shared her thoughts on working with Lee Joon-hyuk.

On the 15th, a video titled “Live watching episode 4 of ‘Romance Craftsman Han Ji-min and Na Wan-bi” ... I heard someone say, ’It seems like you suit each other so well‘,“ she recalled.

She then said, ”But not long after that, I received the script for ’Na Wan-bi‘. I was surprised to hear that my co-star was actor Lee Joon-hyuk. I saw a composite video a while ago, and I thought, ’Is this fate? Should I do this?‘“


Han Ji-min also said, ”I heard that Joon-hyuk hasn’t done a melodrama before. I was curious about this actor‘s melodrama too. The fans also said they wanted me to do it with him, so I had a feeling that it would go well before we even started,“ and added, ”I’m called Milky Vanilla Angel. That‘s Joon-hyuk’s nickname. He‘s really white. It’s the first time I‘ve seen a male actor who’s whiter than me,“ making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Han Ji-min is publicly dating Choi Jung-hoon of Jannabi, who is 10 years younger than her. The two first met on KBS2‘s ’The Seasons - Choi Jung-hoon‘s Night in the Park’ in 2023. The two, who developed into lovers through the program, admitted to their relationship in August of last year, saying, ”We recently had a good meeting.“

Han Ji-min is currently acting in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Perfect Secretary’ as Kang Ji-yoon. ‘My Perfect Secretary’ is a work that depicts the intimate care romance between Ji-yoon, the CEO of a headhunting company who is only good at work, and Eun-ho, a secretary who is perfect at work.
