Lee Junho and Yoona have recently garnered significant attention through their drama 'King the Land'. The two have been close colleagues for a long time, having co-hosted the Gayo Daejejeon before the drama, and their excellent on-screen chemistry in the series led to dating rumors. However, both agencies strongly denied these rumors, emphasizing their professional and friendly relationship.
'King the Land' is a JTBC weekend drama that tells the story of a romance between Gu Won (Lee Junho), a chaebol heir who despises smiles, and Cheon Sa-rang (Yoona), a hotelier who must always smile, set in a hotel. The 16-episode series aired from June 17 to August 6, 2023, achieving immense popularity both domestically and internationally, even reaching global number one. The visuals and acting synergy of Lee Junho and Yoona were highlighted as major draws of the drama.
Bloggers noted that Lee Junho and Yoona, as members of 2PM and Girls' Generation, were active during similar periods and built a friendship, collaborating on special stages and as MCs for the Gayo Daejejeon multiple times. This long-standing connection is seen as the foundation for their natural chemistry in 'King the Land'. While dating rumors were denied, their professional collaboration continues to excite fans.
