During the interview, there were also comments suggesting a potential relationship. But she states,

 I've been getting a lot of comments like that, suggesting that he and I should date, get married, and stuff. I get why people are saying that to us. But to me, Byeon Woo-seok is an oppa I know who is getting farther away due to his soaring popularity.

She also shared where they first met for work.

 We first met while filming a web drama titled 'Secret Crushes'. We knew each other but didn't have many opportunities to talk back then.

We spoke to each other for the first time while on 'Lovely Runner'. We bonded quickly, maybe because we had met before. He was so friendly and approachable that we quickly and easily became close.

Byeon Woo-seok is the same person he appears to be in public. He is a sweet, caring person. I relied on him a lot while working together.

The actress also expresses her thanks to Byeon Woo Seok as her leading man.

 Besides the relationship between 'Im Sol' and 'Ryu Sun-jae', many scenes featured intense emotions from 'Im Sol'. And those scenes require a great deal of concentration. It was hard at times. There were challenging moments where I struggled to convey those emotions.

During those moments, Byeon Woo-seok used to wait patiently for me until I figured things out. Or he would play 'Ryu Sun-jae' to help me practice the scene, even when the scene didn't involve him. I relied on him a lot and was uplifted by his energy many times.
