During a recent promotional event for the upcoming JTBC K-Drama, The Story of Manager Kim, actress Myung Se Bin shared an amusing anecdote about a younger admirer. The event, hosted by Yoo Byung Jae, was featured on the Netflix Korea channel, where the actors discussed their roles and the narrative of the show.
Unexpected Encounter at the Beach
In the video, Yoo Byung Jae remarked on Myung Se Bin‘s youthful appearance, hinting at a past encounter when she was approached by a man significantly younger than herself. “Was it overseas?” he inquired, to which Myung Se Bin clarified, “It wasn’t overseas, but at a beach in Korea.” She recounted that the young man, unaware of her identity, struck up a conversation while she was wearing a hat and sunglasses.
“He asked me where I’m from,” she continued. “I told him to have fun, but he kept talking to me.” The age difference became a focal point of the discussion when Yoo Byung Jae added, “I heard that he was 17 years younger than you.” Myung Se Bin responded, humorously reflecting on their conversation, stating, “I told him that I was much older and asked him to stop. He asked how much older, and I did a rough calculation. It’s quite an age difference. 14? 15 years.”
Humor and Gratitude
Fellow actor Ryu Seung Ryong chimed in, expressing amusement at the young man’s boldness, saying, “That’s so interesting, that guy. Must mean he’s healthy.” Myung Se Bin concluded the segment with a lighthearted note, stating, “I’m just grateful,” prompting laughter from the audience.
This playful exchange offered a glimpse into Myung Se Bin‘s personality, showcasing her ability to embrace such unexpected moments with humor. As anticipation builds for The Story of Manager Kim, which explores the life of a middle-aged man facing personal and professional challenges, the lighthearted banter among the cast highlights the camaraderie they share off-screen.
The drama is based on a web novel of the same name and is set to premiere soon, capturing audiences with its engaging storyline and relatable characters.
