In a recent episode of the YouTube talk show Just an Excuse, Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin appeared together to discuss their upcoming South Korean drama series, The Trunk. Hosted by Yoo Jae Suk, the interview revealed a friendly connection between the two actors and offered new details about their roles and experiences on set. The series, based on Kim Ryeo Ryeong’s novel Trunk, is scheduled to premiere on November 29, 2024.

During the conversation, Gong Yoo shared a personal gesture from his co-star: Seo Hyun Jin surprised him with a bottle of ginseng liquor for his birthday, hinting at the close bond they have developed while working together. This thoughtful gift sparked conversation among fans about their off-screen rapport, adding to the excitement surrounding the drama’s debut.

Gong Yoo’s Take on Mobile Games

Yoo Jae Suk brought a lighter moment to the discussion by teasing Gong Yoo about the eight mobile games installed on his phone. Laughing, Gong Yoo explained that it all started with an English-learning app that required watching ads unless he upgraded to a paid version. Initially resistant, Gong Yoo shared that repeated exposure to game ads eventually wore him down, leading him to download one game, which then snowballed into several others.

“I felt like I was being gaslit by the ads,” he joked, admitting that while he started with one game, he quickly grew tired of it and would see ads for other games, eventually ending up with eight games on his phone. He added with a smile that he has since quit playing all of them.

Plot Details for The Trunk

The Trunk follows the lives of Noh In Ji, an employee at NM, a company offering spouses through one-year fixed-term contracts, and her new client, Han Jeong Won, a music producer grappling with emotional scars from his past. Played by Seo Hyun Jin and Gong Yoo respectively, the characters meet when In Ji’s fourth contract ends, and she is paired with Jeong Won, who is struggling with memories of his ex-wife, Seo Yeon—the very person who initially signed him up with NM.

Their evolving dynamic takes a turn when a mysterious trunk is found in a lake, unveiling secrets that entangle them both in a complex web of suspense and hidden truths about NM. Directed by Kim Kyu Tae and written by Park Eun Young, the show promises a unique mix of romance and mystery, giving audiences a compelling storyline that explores the complexities of love, pain, and secrecy.
