Chae Soo-bin and Yoo Yeon-seok, the stars of the drama When the Phone Rings, have garnered much attention from fans. Their characters’ journey from enemies to lovers has captivated viewers, leading up to the drama’s finale. The pair recently received the “Best Couple” award at the 2024 MBC Drama Awards. However, it was the background image used during their award acceptance that truly caught the fans’ attention and sparked amusing reactions.
The Controversial Background Image
The image in question comes from a scene in When the Phone Rings where Hee-joo (played by Chae Soo-bin) playfully pretends to be a kidnapper, sending faceless pictures of herself in a lacey night suit. Later, after Sa-eon (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) survives an explosion and returns home, there’s a scene where he attempts to check Hee-joo’s thigh for a birthmark. This particular scene, filled with tension and humor, was chosen as both a nomination clip and the background image for the couple’s award.

The scene involves Sa-eon approaching Hee-joo, propping her on a counter, and attempting to lift her skirt slightly to check for the birthmark. He stops when he senses her hesitation. This specific moment, which kept viewers on edge during the drama, became a source of amusement during the award ceremony.
