Hyeri and Hwang In-youp, 고민 over real-life titles due to 3-year age gap: "Should I call him Oppa?"

Same age in the drama, but 'Oppa' or 'Name' in reality?

Actors Hyeri and Hwang In-yeop shared their realistic dilemma regarding how to address each other after finishing their drama filming. The two, who starred together in the new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Dream to You' set to premiere on the 13th, appeared on Hyeri's YouTube channel 'Hyeri's Club' to reveal behind-the-scenes stories from their filming days.

In the video, the two built intimacy by calling each other by their characters' names, 'Lee Jae' and 'Su-bin.' Hyeri recalled, "When we were filming the drama, we called each other Lee Jae and Su-bin. So I kept saying, 'Su-bin-ah'." However, as they approached the promotion stage after filming ended, the issue of how to address each other surfaced. Hyeri expressed her concern, saying, "Now that the filming is over and we're about to promote it, I don't know what to call him."

When Hyeri playfully asked Hwang In-yeop, "Oppa?", he immediately responded, "Ah, no, no," drawing laughter. In reality, there is a 3-year age difference between the two. Hyeri (born in 1994) and Hwang In-yeop (born in 1991) also had a playful debate about the generation gap. Hyeri teased Hwang, saying, "There is quite a big age gap between us. That's why I feel the generation gap a lot. You don't even know these kinds of memes." Hwang shot back, "As I said last time, I do know Cortis!"

23 million followers created by 'True Beauty' and the tension of the first melodrama

Hwang In-yeop's popularity is also a hot topic. When appearing on the YouTube channel 'Hal Myung-soo,' Hyeri praised Hwang In-yeop's Instagram follower count, calling it "Blackpink level." Park Myung-soo personally checked, and Hwang In-yeop's followers reached 23 million. Park Myung-soo asked for the secret, wondering, "How can you have over 20 million followers?"

Hwang In-yeop cited the webtoon-based drama 'True Beauty' as the reason for his popularity. He explained, "I think that work was quite popular. By the time it ended, it reached 7 million. More countries were added later, and it kept increasing." Hyeri introduced him as a truly popular actor, mentioning that he had previously appeared as a guest on her YouTube channel.

Recalling the day he filmed his first melodrama scene with Hyeri in 'Dream to You,' Hwang In-yeop confessed, "I couldn't even sleep that day. I was so nervous, thinking I had to do well." The two also showed differences in how they count sheep to fall asleep. Hwang explained his method by imagining a vast meadow and a ranch: "There is a ranch in a large meadow. When I close my eyes, sheep are right in front of me. They gradually increase," describing how he visualizes the sheep multiplying in a wide meadow. Hyeri was surprised by his different way of thinking, saying, "I was shocked when I saw this. I never thought of counting with pictures. I just count, 'one sheep, two sheep'."

The conversation continued regarding their personality differences. Hwang In-yeop said, "There are times when I find it absolutely impossible to accept what Hyeri says during a conversation." Despite their different personalities, the two continued their comfortable 'tiki-taka' (playful banter). Hwang In-yeop drew laughter by mentioning his past appearance on Hyeri's YouTube channel, saying, "First, I'll have a drink and then expose everything."
