The actor then directly addressed the speculations about his relationship with Chae. Their on-screen chemistry in When the Phone Rings has captivated audiences worldwide, leading to many wishing that they would date or marry in real life. Yoo said he took this interest as a compliment.
I am grateful that people liked our chemistry. It seems that they were immersed in our romance and our portrayal of a ‘destined couple,’ so I’m thankful for it.

Talking about the possibility of marriage, the actor said it wasn’t something he could “decide on [his] own.”
As for marriage? That isn’t something I can decide on my own. But I appreciate the support.
