The Real Reason Actress Park Bo Young Felt “Awkward” During Her First Meeting With Actor Park Seo Joon

After fans’ hopes and dreams of a project together, Park Bo Young and Park Seo Joon are finally set to star in a movie together, with the anticipated Concrete Utopia.

Despite being two of the hottest stars in Korea with years of experience, it seems like their first meeting was awkward for the most unexpected reason.

On June 21, the cast had a press conference and of course, both Park Bo Young and Park Seo Joon looked phenomenal. Their visual chemistry was no joke, and they seemed to be calm and at ease around each other.

During the interview, Park Bo Young revealed that her first meeting with Park Seo Joon was awkward… all because of a wedding scene.

Of course, Park Bo Young is no stranger to wedding scenes in her K-Dramas, and one of the netizens’ favorites has to be with Park Seo Joon’s fellow Wooga Squad member Park Hyung Sik in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.

Wedding scenes are romantic, but it led to Park Bo Young’s initial awkwardness with her co-star because it was the first scene they had filmed. During an interview, Park Bo Young explained that her first time meeting Park Seo Joon was followed by her wearing a wedding dress.

When I first met Park Seo Joon, I said ‘Hello’ and immediately wore a wedding dress.

While it might not seem like a huge deal, Park Bo Young revealed that the scene itself was very affectionate, so it was tough, especially as it was her first time meeting Park Seo Joon. Although actors are amazing when they’re filming, it isn’t surprising that there was some awkwardness as Park Bo Young had to be affectionate.

It was my first time meeting him, and I was worried about if I could put my hand on him; we were supposed to look affectionate, but I wondered if I was being impolite.

Of course, considering both stars’ professionalism, Park Bo Young quickly revealed that while it started as awkward, it quickly became easier.

The first shoot was a wedding shoot, so it felt awkward, but as we gradually synchronized and got comfortable, it quickly became easier.
