On July 26, 2025, actor Gong Yoo shared a hilarious exchange with his The Trunk co-star Seo Hyun Jin after she sent a coffee truck to his new drama set despite his refusal. The playful banter and involvement of co-star Song Hye Kyo delighted fans worldwide.
Seo Hyun Jin’s Coffee Truck Surprise for Gong Yoo
Gong Yoo posted pictures of the coffee truck on his Instagram Story, showing support from Seo Hyun Jin and the The Trunk team. The truck’s banner read, “Slowly and intensely with pure macho Dong-gu… Trunk Team is rooting for you!”
The gesture was sweet, but the real highlight was their text exchange displayed on the truck. Gong Yoo had warned, “Don’t send me a coffee car. No, I don’t answer it even if you give it to me.” Seo Hyun Jin responded defiantly, “No,” and when Gong Yoo insisted, “Never!”, she fired back, “Then don’t just eat oppa.”
Despite his initial refusal, Gong Yoo later softened, posting, “Yeah, I’m thankful but…” along with photos of the treats.
Song Hye Kyo Joins the Banter with a Playful Nickname
Adding to the fun, Song Hye Kyo, Gong Yoo’s co-star in the upcoming Netflix drama Show Business, shared cookies with a sticker of Gong Yoo’s face. She captioned it “Dongbaragi”—a playful Korean pun meaning “someone who only looks at Dong-wook” (referencing Gong Yoo’s real name, Gong Ji-cheol).
Fans loved the behind-the-scenes camaraderie, especially since Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin previously worked together in The Trunk, a 2024 Netflix drama where they played a contract-married couple.
Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin’s Friendship
The two actors have maintained a close friendship since The Trunk, where their on-screen chemistry earned praise. In one viral scene, Gong Yoo adorably reacted to their kissing sequence, exclaiming “Aigoo!” while Seo Hyun Jin teased him by calling him “Ahjussi” (old man).
Fans have been asking Netflix to reunite them in another project, given their natural dynamic. Meanwhile, Gong Yoo is busy filming Show Business, a drama set in the Korean entertainment industry of the 1960s-1980s, alongside Song Hye Kyo.
What’s Next for Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin?
Show Business, directed by Lee Yoon-jung (Coffee Prince), is set to release in 2026. Seo Hyun Jin has not announced her next project but remains active in variety content, recently appearing in a music quiz with Gong Yoo where they hilariously failed to identify a BTS song.
