Actors Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong have captured fans’ attention with intimate behind-the-scenes photos that showcase their undeniable chemistry — and have sparked rumors of a possible real-life romance.
On October 28, Kang Tae-oh uploaded several photos to his Instagram, without any caption. Among them, one picture especially stood out: Kang Tae-oh gently back-hugging Kim Se-jeong on set, creating a scene so natural that fans couldn’t help but comment on their closeness.
The photos were taken during the filming of the new MBC historical fantasy romance drama “Moon River,” where the two play fated lovers caught between memory, magic, and destiny.
Fans Can’t Get Enough of Their Chemistry
Shortly after Kang Tae-oh’s post, fans flooded the comments with reactions like “They look like a real couple!” and “That hug says everything.”
Even Kim Se-jeong playfully joined the conversation, commenting under the post:
“The last photo only shows me because your soul went into it, right?”
Her witty reply instantly went viral, amplifying excitement ahead of the drama’s premiere and fueling curiosity about their off-screen relationship.
The final image Kang Tae-oh shared — featuring only Kim Se-jeong — made fans even more intrigued, with many wondering if it hinted at something deeper between the two stars.
