Hello Dongmu!
I found it amazing that our Binjin couple could get me to sign in to Soompi after 10+ years. The last time I was active in Soompi was around 2008-2009 due to Family Honor, the most treasured K-drama in my heart. Also because that was too long ago, i didn't remember my password and thus had to create a new account for Binjin in 2020 haha. As I'm around Binjin's age, I've experienced all sorts of social media platforms, so what I'm proudly good at is reading someone's social media posting. That's why what initially got me hooked at Binjin couple was not HB's gestures in IVs and BTSs (simply because I hadn't really cared about him and never watched any of his movies/dramas until CLOY). It's YJ's still shots and Instagram that triggered my detective mode.
1) The final Switzerland stills, especially the ones where YJ hugged HB tight around his waist and they looks endearingly either at each other or to the camera together. Oh man, it's definitely not Yoon Se-ri and Ri Jeong-hyuk, it's YJ and HB themselves. And those pics were actually the reason I started watching CLOY because I smelled something fishy. All of my friends went crazy about the drama when it was airing in Asia, but I stayed nonchalant since the last time i followed the hypes, I couldn't bring myself to finish Descendants of the Sun or My Love from the Star. So I waited until the end of Feb when CLOY was finally streamed on Netflix EU and here I am, staying firm on the Binjin ship. Enough rambling. So what did I see in those stills? If i were HB's real life partner, i would have chopped him into pieces when seeing such intimate photos. How dare you let your co-star hug you that possessively in public? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd never seen any as intimate still shots as these between lead actors in a K-drama (or I may have missed something during this 10+ years off from K-dramas). These shots were not even used in the end so why would someone release them when apparently, the photos would cause nothing but uncalled troubles to the actors in case they were already taken in real life. At my age, most of my friends have settled down with 1-3 children and had established career. They know what professionalism means. But NONE of them buy in the idea that there was NOTHING between these two. But I understand how destructive the dating rumors could be to Binjin's career and personal life, so I was not at all surprised when Mr. CEO denied all of them. Yeah, we will pretend to be shocked when the wedding bell rings.
2) JY's Instagram. It's so obvious. The lovey-dovey photos, the book, the Christmas post. Personally I don't like funny face apps and don't have any, but my husband likes them. So the only thing that can get me to try these apps is my love for him and I want to be a supportive wife. Well, in fact my love is not big enough to try using these apps with my husband, so you could imagine how much HB must have adored his "close friend" to let her take and post all of these photos on her social media. And also, as a professional actor who's been in the industry for 20 years, YJ didn't need to post so many private photos with ONE co-star just for the sake of media play. Who are you gonna fool girl? Now the Christmas post. Well she could have picked any up-to-date on set photo to show the public how hardworking she is. But no, of all the options, she chose a couple photo taken in summer with someone she's been rumored dating! I can't think of any A-lister who would do the same if he/she's known to have always tried hard to maintain a clean image like JY.
3) The BTSs where YJ hit her "close friend" on the chest, tugged his belt, clung onto him like a koala. Tell me if these actions could be normally done between close friends, not to mention between colleagues within the context of reserved Asian culture? I can't, even though I myself have a male close friend and we've known each other for almost 20 years since high school. No matter how outgoing, cheerful, witty YJ can be in real life, I don't think she can do that to any male co-stars. There's always a boundary between colleagues at work, regardless of your professions.
4) The most betraying gesture on HB's side to me was the NG in hospital bed and the interlocking hands in one BTS. No matter how comfortable you are with certain female colleague, you can't just automatically lean on to their CHEST area laughing while working like he did to YJ. If they were not indeed as close as boyfriend-girlfriend, that action could have been labeled sexual harassment, or less seriously, insensitive. Here obviously we didn't see any discomfort on YJ's face. And to the interlocking hand. Sir, you don't need to demonstrate your idea so realistically and happily squeeze her hands like that if you just consider her a friend. And YJ could have easily avoided it if she had felt uncomfortable. But in the end what did we see? Pure sweetness! The way the interlocked their fingers and held onto it is definitely not between close friends.
I'm neither HB's nor YJ's longtime fan because I never watched/finished any of their dramas/movies before CLOY. Their acting in the past (i'm saying for the time before 2008 because, like I said, I have stopped watching K-dramas ever since until CLOY came around) was meh to me. So I just see what I see, based on my observations, life experience and woman instinct. This ship definitely sails, everyone!
