Lim Ji-yeon, who provoked controversy by giving enthusiastic applause and cheers to Jung Woo-sung. She explained this, and about eight months later drew attention by being photographed in a two-shot with Jung Woo-sung.
At last year's Blue Dragon Film Awards, actress Lim Ji-yeon gave enthusiastic applause to Jung Woo-sung. Her reaction at the time became a major topic among the public, and Lim Ji-yeon later said in an interview, "It was a fleeting moment. I did not expect the public's reaction," expressing her candid view.
About eight months later, the two met again at an official event. It was at the handprinting ceremony of the 34th Buil Film Awards held on the 18th at Signiel Busan in Haeundae-gu, Busan. Jung Woo-sung, who attended as last year's winner, appeared at an official event for the first time in a year, drawing much attention. He appeared with a somewhat stiff expression as if nervous, but as time passed he relaxed and showed a bright smile.
Kim Geum-soon, sitting next to Jung Woo-sung, joked, "I'm nervous to be sitting next to him again after last year," and Lim Ji-yeon naturally conversed with senior labelmate Jung Woo-sung, creating a warm scene. The two who cheered at last year's Blue Dragon Film Awards now stood on the same stage again as winners.
Jung Woo-sung said briefly, "It's always a pleasure to be with the Buil Film Awards at the Busan International Film Festival. I'm honored to be given the opportunity to present an award as last year's winner."
Internet users showed various reactions to the scene of the two reuniting. "It's so nice to see them meet again as winners. The senior-junior chemistry is heartwarming," "It's been a long time since I've seen Jung Woo-sung smile," "There was a lot of talk about Lim Ji-yeon's applause, but it's nice to see them smiling together again," "There was much controversy, but it's nice that they appear to trust and respect each other," and other varied responses were shown.
Meanwhile, last November Jung Woo-sung was embroiled in an out-of-wedlock child controversy after acknowledging he is the biological father of model Moon Gabi's son. He later said, "As a father, I will take full responsibility for the child," and in August this year news came that he had registered his marriage to his long-time partner.
After controversy and ups and downs, Jung Woo-sung stood again at an official event, and the sight of Lim Ji-yeon naturally supporting him drew responses from internet users such as "heartwarming, nice to see," generating hot online discussion.
