“One Brain Cell”: 2PM’s Lee Junho And Girls’ Generation’s YoonA Prove How Close They Really Are In Behind-The-Scenes Of “King The Land” Finale
Spoiler Alert
K-Drama King the Land has unfortunately ended, but JTBC is continuing to feed fans with a new behind-the-scenes video.
King the Land became a hit, thanks to the leads’ chemistry. 2PM‘s Junho (also known as Lee Jun Ho) and Girls’ Generation‘s YoonA (also known as Lim Yoon A or Im Yoon Ah) have been friends for over a decade, so they don’t even have to fake their chemistry. It’s all natural!
I just know Yoona and Junho did their totem handshake thingy here after they cleared the friendship test….
….but Netflix cut the first part when they clapped their hands.#YoonA #LimYoonA #윤아 #임윤아 #LeeJunHo #Junho #이준호 #KingTheLand #킹더랜드 pic.twitter.com/FabuGESds6

Their characters even have some of their own personal characteristics and habits. For one thing, YoonA and Junho included their own “secret handshake” in a couple of scenes.

But behind-the-scenes footage from filming King the Land showcases just how close the idol-actors really are.
JTBC released behind-the-scenes footage for filming the last two King the Land episodes. It even included some unreleased scenes and cute ad-libs.
They shove some sort of adlib on almost every scene at the Hotel Amor, this two were peak inspired those days / nights#Junho #Leejunho #이준호 #YoonA #LimYoonA #임윤아 #KingTheLand pic.twitter.com/fBXnBOen0c

Most of all, it showed YoonA and Junho having fun together on set, displaying their true relationship. They always stay side-by-side, even in between takes.
It them again with their "space is not in our vocabulary" 🤭#임윤아 #윤아 #LimYoonA #YoonA #LeeJunho #JUNHO#킹더랜드 #KingTheLand #ThankYouKingTheLand pic.twitter.com/s1KVcJfONa

They’re so close that YoonA can even imitate Junho’s voice! A true talent.
Yoong imitating Junho's voice is so good!!! 🥰 Also, them super close and looking so soft is messing with me… How to let go of this cutie couple… 😳🤭🥰#KingTheLand #KTL #킹더랜드 #LeeJunho #Junho #이준호 #LimYoona #YoonA #임윤아 #윤아 pic.twitter.com/ru50yyUoX1

Since they share similar humor, they often joked around on set. While filming the teeth-brushing scene, they playfully “sang” each other’s group’s hit songs while gargling. Junho didn’t last long because he started laughing!
Not these two gargling and having a song quiz? YoonA was singing to 2pm's 'My House' and was Junho singing to SNSD's 'Genie'? They are so unserious, I love them 😂#LimYoonA #YoonA #임윤아 #LeeJunho #Junho #이준호 #KingTheLand #킹더랜드 pic.twitter.com/hNWjXXyLbC

LMAO they turn the scene into “guess the gargled song” & are deadserious bout it 😭
🗣️:Whats the answer to the song you sang earlier?
🫎🐧:Did you get it right?
🫎: i sang my house
🐧: i sang genie
🗣️: Are you u sure the viewers will get it right?
🫎🐧: 100% sure#Yoona #Junho pic.twitter.com/N7w37pqJdX— 𑣲🏰 (@KJS1O3) August 9, 2023
Also, during this scene, Junho attempted to make YoonA laugh (no struggle there). She ultimately threatened to spit the water out on him!
From Junho trying to make YoonA laugh to YoonA threatening to splash the water to him real quick 😆https://t.co/sISUklUElH#LimYoonA #임윤아 #YoonA #윤아 #KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp16 #킹더랜드 #Junho #이준호 #천사랑 #ThankYouKingTheLand pic.twitter.com/SuXrN6EHVW

Junho and YoonA played another “Guess the Song” game. There’s never a dull moment on set with these two.
This two playing yet another guess the song game together, is cute how yoona leans a bit to sing near his ear & how he shouts “answer!”
tbh junho’s stronger than me cause i’ll melt on the spot and it’s game over..#Junho #Leejunho #이준호 #YoonA #LimYoonA #임윤아 #KingTheLand pic.twitter.com/Uc3XBe6gGl

YoonA randomly sang a song and asked Junho to guess the title during shooting break 😆https://t.co/sISUklUElH#LimYoonA #임윤아 #YoonA #윤아 #KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp16 #킹더랜드 #Junho #이준호 #천사랑 #ThankYouKingTheLand pic.twitter.com/xmSmdMeUGq

There were numerous instances where the two broke into laughter while attempting to film a scene. This is what happens when you put best friends to work together!

Their fans say Junho and YoonA “share one brain cell.” That’s how much alike they are, especially in terms of humor.
I think you can put #Yoona and #Junho in a room with 0 objects and their 1 shared braincell 4D brains will find a way to entertain each other#KingTheLand pic.twitter.com/k1fK7ozgzm
