Love Next Door stars Jung Hae In and Jung So Min are showcasing a sweeter chemistry off-screen than on-screen.
A recent ASMR interview video featuring Jung Hae In and Jung So Min was posted on Netflix Korea’s official YouTube channel. In the video, the two actors played a game where they pretended to be sneaking around without being caught by “Mi Sook.” The challenge was to complete the missions and answer interview questions without causing noise over 70 decibels. If “Mi Sook’s” anger reaches level 3, they would fail the mission.
As they playfully bickered throughout the missions, their third challenge involved dressing a teddy bear in a firefighter outfit while answering why viewers should watch Love Next Door. Jung Hae In explained, “Rom-com queen Jung So Min is in it. The production crew has fantastic chemistry. It’s got everything: family, romance, youth. If you have best male and female friends, you should definitely watch it.” Meanwhile, Jung So Min successfully dressed the teddy bear.
When asked about memorable behind-the-scenes moments from the shoot, Jung So Min recalled, “It’s unimaginable now, but it was extremely cold when we first started filming.” Jung Hae In added, “We actually had a lot of bloopers on set. There was a scene where we were walking down the street with Seok Ryu’s father, and he ad-libbed something so funny that the laugh you see is my real reaction; they used that take.”
As for their on-screen chemistry, playing long-time childhood friends, Jung So Min commented during the Hangeul Mission (where they could only speak in Korean), saying, “The chemistry is really great.” Jung Hae In added, “It couldn’t have been better, and if you watch the drama…” However, his use of the English word “drama” caused them to fail the mission. Despite this, he gave Jung So Min a sweet, playful look that added to their charm. Jung So Min concluded, “You can feel the vibe of two very close friends. We don’t hold back, even cursing and play-fighting.”
Fans were quick to react to their undeniable chemistry during the interview, with comments like, “Their chemistry is overflowing. It’s like Hae In can’t stop smiling in front of So Min,” “Jung Hae In’s best chemistry yet, and Jung So Min is so lovely,” “They should shoot another drama together,” and “Why aren’t they dating in real life?”
Meanwhile, tvN’s Love Next Door airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM KST.
