Actor Ryu Hyeyoung personally explained the scenes in I Live Alone that prompted reactions questioning whether she and her close friend Ko Kyung-pyo were "more than friends."
On the 14th, the YouTube channel Zzanbro featured actors Lee Minho and Ryu Hyeyoung discussing the topic.
That day the conversation turned to the unusually close friendship between Ryu Hyeyoung and Ko Kyung-pyo. The two are known to be close friends, but earlier natural actions shown on MBC I Live Alone drew attention and led some to react, "Are they really just friends?" Ryu Hyeyoung explained of Ko Kyung-pyo, "There is one year, one class difference," saying they have comfortably been friends for a long time.
In particular, a scene from I Live Alone in which the two were walking together and Ko Kyung-pyo protected Ryu Hyeyoung by changing places with her to avoid a bicycle resurfaced.
Upon hearing this, Lee Minho said, "The position of the hand is important," and unexpectedly began a "touch analysis." He said, "If they were really close, he would just pull her. But the wrapping motion involves detail," which caused a stir on set.
Ryu Hyeyoung herself did not precisely remember how Ko Kyung-pyo had held her at the time. But she added that when watched again on the broadcast it could certainly look subtly suggestive, which drew laughter.
Another talked-about scene was when Ko Kyung-pyo naturally ate food that Ryu Hyeyoung had left. Regarding this, Lee Minho immediately defended Ko Kyung-pyo's "innocence." Lee Minho said, "The Kyung-pyo I know has a big appetite. He could do that. I totally admit it," drawing laughter.
Ryu Hyeyoung also explained the situation at the time. Because they were filming, she said she felt more embarrassed; Ko Kyung-pyo had asked for the food in advance but only received it after she had finished, and she said she felt sorry. She explained that since their relationship did not have a romantic meaning, she felt more apologetic to her friend. In the end, Lee Minho cheerfully summed up the situation, "Anyway, he just has a big appetite. Ko Kyung-pyo only sees food."
When asked whether she had ever felt attracted to Ko Kyung-pyo, she coolly answered, "I get attracted," adding, "I get attracted to tall, handsome men," emphasizing it was just a feeling between people. From natural physical contact on I Live Alone to sharing leftover food, the scenes that unexpectedly raised "more than friends" suspicions(?) about Ko Kyung-pyo and Ryu Hyeyoung once again brought laughs as Ryu Hyeyoung's explanation and testimony from close friend Lee Minho were added.
