Actress Kim Hye Yoon, who is basking in the glory of the success of Lovely Runner, talked about the actors she has worked with so far.

Recently, Kim Hye Yoon conducted an interview with local reporters in Gangnam, Seoul. Talking about her recent drama's success, she said, "I am happy every day because of the huge attention and love for Lovely Runner."

Following Extraordinary You, where she worked with Lee Jae Wook and Rowoon, Kim Hye Yoon now became famous for her synergy with Byeon Woo Seok. Lee Jae Wook, Rowoon, and Byeon Woo Seok are all tall actors, each over 185 cm in height. But Kim Hye Yoon, despite having a petite frame, is praised for her perfect synergy with these tall actors.

Kim Hye Yoon said, "(Byeon Woo Seok) is similar in height to Rowoon. Maybe because I've been acting with tall actors, I've developed some know-how. When acting together, I stand on a box, and when the scene ends, I can't suddenly disappear, right?" She laughed, "So I get out of the camera frame naturally on tiptoes, pretending the box is still there even after it's gone." 

Lee Jae Wook and Rowoon, who worked with Kim Hye Yoon in Extraordinary You, rose to stardom following the drama. Byeon Woo Seok, who had a long period of obscurity, is also receiving great love thanks to Lovely Runner. As a result, some people even call them "actors raised by Kim Hye Yoon."

Regarding this, Kim Hye Yoon humbly said, "I am grateful for such remarks, but I think those actors were bound to succeed anyway, regardless of working with me. If I have to point out my contribution, it might be that the height difference when standing next to them makes them stand out more."

When asked which of the three actors she is most proud of, Kim Hye Yoon said, "Since I recently worked with Byeon Woo Seok in Lovely Runner, I would choose him. From the perspective of someone who has watched him closely since the first episode, he seems to be soaring higher and higher," she laughed, "Now, it seems I need to catch up to him."
