Renowned actress Gong Hyo Jin delighted fans on December 24th with personal anecdotes about her life with husband Kevin Oh and her first meeting with her mother-in-law. Appearing on the YouTube show Salon Drip in an episode titled "If You're Cute, You Win | EP.71 Lee Min Ho Gong Hyo Jin," Gong shared candid moments that offered a glimpse into her life off-screen.

During the broadcast, Gong joined co-star Lee Min Ho to discuss their upcoming drama When the Stars Gossip, a highly anticipated space-themed series. In a playful exchange, host Jang Do Yeon asked, "How do you do skinship in zero gravity?" Lee Min Ho quipped, "The more extreme the situation, the more skinship happens," prompting laughter all around.

Lee Min Ho revealed the physical demands of filming, sharing, “We were on wires for 15-16 hours a day.” Gong added her own experience, praising the realistic set design: “Just stepping on set felt like being in space. The spacesuit was incredibly heavy—I heard it cost several thousand dollars!”

The pair also talked about their growing friendship during filming. “We call each other often and sometimes talk for two hours straight,” Gong revealed. “It usually starts with text messages, but it turns into a phone call where we share everything going on in our lives.”
