Behind‑the‑scenes photos of actress Kim Yoo Jung have reignited fan hopes that she might reunite with Park Bo Gum, despite his having no connection to her current project. The photos were shared recently by her agency and were taken during the filming and magazine‑shoot segments for her drama Dear X, where she plays Baek Ah Jin. In the stills, Kim Yoo Jung wears a modern hanbok with a poised, aristocratic air her icy gaze and refined posture giving off an elegant, mature aura.
Earlier this year in October, actor Park Bo Gum caused a stir on social media across Asia with his own hanbok pictorial for Hanbok Wave 2025, exuding a noble yet mysterious vibe. The two hanbok shoots were released within months of each other, and their aesthetics were surprisingly similar, which triggered nostalgia among fans especially because Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung previously starred together in the popular historical drama Love in the Moonlight.
Given their past chemistry and the matching aura of their recent hanbok photos, many fans are now dreaming of a second collaboration. Some suggest they take on a darker, more psychological or dramatic storyline this time perhaps with mature, emotionally intense themes, power struggles, or love filled with suffering rather than the lighthearted romance of their first pairing.
Love in the Moonlight originally based on a web novel aired in 2016 and swept Asia with its gentle, humorous story and the palpable chemistry between the leads. Even today, the cast remains close. Earlier this year, in a nostalgic reunion, Kim Yoo Jung joined Jinyoung and Kwak Dong Yeon as guest stars on the first episode of The Seasons: Park Bo-gum’s Cantabile.
Now, with these new images of Kim Yoo Jung matching the aesthetic fans associate with Park Bo Gum’s recent hanbok shoot, many hope the two might reunite on screen this time bringing a more mature, refined atmosphere and possibly darker, more intense storytelling.
