Despite being pitted as love rivals for Goo Jun Pyo in KBS Boys Before Flowers, both Goo Hye Sun and Lee Min Jung are actually friends in real life. Photos of Lee Min Jung, Goo Hye Sun with a group of friends on the earlier’s Cyworld has created attention despite the fact that it was posted last December.

In the episodes shown thus far, Geum Jandi (Goo Hye Sun) has had an uninterrupted blossoming love-hate relationship with Goo Joon Pyo (Lee Min Ho), save for the slight interruption of Yoon Ji Ho (Kim Hyun Joong). But from Episode 13 onwards (scheduled for 16th February), Goo Joon Pyo’s fiance, Han Jae Kyung (Lee Min Jung) will make her entrance and add some tension.

Goo Hye Sun and Lee Min Jung are yet to appear on screen together, but from the photos uploaded by Lee Min Jung, we can tell that the both of them seemed to be very chummy with each other off screen, a total contrast to their drama roles. The photos didn’t create much interest when it was first uploaded last December. But with news of Lee Min Jung taking on the role as Goo Joon Pyo’s fiance, the photos has now created a buzz among fans of the show.

Netizens commented on the photos, “Both of them look really cute”, “Although they are rivals in the drama, they seem to be best friends in real life”. Most expressed their anticipation to see them act opposite each other, “Hope to quickly see the triangle relationship between them materialise.”
