Love Next Door stars Jung Hae In and Jung So Min recently sat down for a fun interview on ELLE Korea’s official YouTube, where they opened up about their unique relationship dynamics and the playful nicknames they have for each other.
The two stars answered various questions during the interview, including one about how they address each other, given their somewhat confusing age dynamic: Jung So Min is younger than Jung Hae In but has been acting longer. Jung So Min joked, “He’s my junior? We’ve never actually talked about that.” Jung Hae In recalled, “Do you remember when we first met? We didn’t even call each other by name.” Jung So Min agreed, saying, “But that’s usually how it goes.”
The actress added, “It wasn’t exactly natural when we dropped the honorifics,” to which Jung Hae In humorously responded, “Right. I was forced. It took a lot of determination, strong will, and persistent effort.”
When asked how they have saved each other’s contacts on their phones, the two actors shared their answers. Jung So Min revealed she had saved Jung Hae In as “Jung Hae In (Actor),” which made him jokingly complain, “Is there another Jung Hae In I don’t know about? Is that why you had to add my profession?” He then admitted, “I just saved you with your name, no extras.” This led Jung So Min to playfully retort, “How is that any different?”
In a light-hearted moment, they decided to take each other’s phones and change the contact names to something more fun. Jung Hae In changed his to “Hae In Oppa,” while Jung So Min saved herself as “Pretty Tomini,” causing laughter all around.
