A Stellar Return to the Screen

Starring alongside Gong Hyo Jin, this zero-gravity tale takes viewers to a space station filled with humor, human connection, and unexpected twists. Ahead of its January 4, 2025, release, the stars appeared on Salon Drip 2, a popular YouTube talk show, to share laughs, insights, and a glimpse of the off-screen chemistry that fuels the series.
A Fun-Filled Talk Show Appearance
Lee Min Ho, making his Salon Drip 2 debut, brought charm and confidence, announcing he was ready for any question, no matter how “uncomfortable.” His co-star Gong Hyo Jin and host Jang Do Yeon wasted no time putting that claim to the test.
The lighthearted grilling began with a question about Lee’s love life. When asked if he was dating anyone, Lee momentarily froze, visibly caught off guard. The host then upped the ante with a cheeky query: “How many celebrities have you dated so far? Five? Or more?”
The actor’s humorous response had everyone in stitches. Feigning a need for a sudden bathroom break, Lee made a dramatic exit, leaving viewers and his co-stars laughing uncontrollably. Upon returning, Gong couldn’t resist poking fun: “What’s the point of asking for uncomfortable questions if you’re just going to freak out?”
