Leading the entertainment world’s representative actors Lee Seo-jin and Han Ji-min, along with Kim Yong-gun, Park Joong-soon, MONSTA X’s Joohoney, and TWICE’s Jeongyeon, are gathering and going on a special friendship trip. According to tvN today (the 15th), the program “Just a Friend of a Person” will be scheduled, in which Lee Seo-jin, Han Ji-min, Kim Yong-gun, Park Joong-soon, Joohoney, and Jeongyeon, who represent the entertainment world, freely enjoy a trip commemorating a combined 85 years of friendship and carry out talks on various themes. Lee Seo-jin and Han Ji-min have nurtured their friendship for 20 years since they first met in the drama “Yi San.” Lee Seo-jin, who is skilled at teasing Han Ji-min, has recently been getting a little revenge from Han Ji-min, and everyone is cheering her on. Attention is gathering on what kind of chemistry the two will show. The combination of Kim Yong-gun and Park Joong-soon, who have a deep friendship of 55 years, is also eye-catching. The two, who first met in 1972, usually keep in frequent contact and are in a relationship where they rely on each other. While exchanging sharp remarks that can only be made because of 55 years together, they have created laughter without getting hurt. Expectations are rising for the performance of Kim Yong-gun and Park Joong-soon, who are the closest friends to each other. Joohoney and Jeongyeon, who create unexpectedly exquisite chemistry, naturally became close as debut contemporaries in 2015. Even when they contact each other after a long time, they are always able to talk comfortably, but despite their 10-year relationship, they say it is awkward to talk in front of the camera just the two of them. Curiosity is being aroused about what kind of 모습 the two will show in their first regular variety program. The variety show “Just a Friend of a Person,” directed by PD Na Young-seok, is scheduled to air on tvN in the fourth quarter of this year. • TWICE’s Jeongyeon reveals new profile photos!
