Go Kyungpyo & Ryu Hyeyoung In Real Life
You guys are called best friends so I thought you were the same age, but you have a 1 year age difference? Is it ok to call your sunbae by name in the theatre department where seniority is emphasized?
KP: Our school doesn’t emphasize seniority. Whether you’re old or young, you call the people you hang out and live with your ‘friend’. Hyeyoungie has become that kind of friend to me. When we were in school, the sunbaes said that we were really alike a lot. HY: That’s right, I heard the words “like twins” a lot. We’ve changed a bit now that we’re in society, but back then, we were really noisy. We’d greet people who we’re seeing for the first time on the streets and sing with foreigners…. We were mischievous.
What were your first impressions of one another?
KP: As a sunbae, I thought this friend really worked hard at school. If you told her greet you, she’d energetically do it, if you told her dance, she’d dance. She never shied away, so the sunbaes liked her a lot. But I was just like that 1 year before Hyeyoungie came. HY: When I first saw Kyungpyo, he was with a close friend of mine. They were both tall and good-looking. But he takes good care of his hoobaes. He’s good-looking but even kind, so he was popular.
When did the two of you realize you got along so well?
HY: It seems like it started when we were talking about backpacking. One day, someone said that they wanted to go on a trip - we have two legs and youth, there’s no reason for us not to. Suddenly it caught fire, “We’re hot-blooded youths, let’s do it! Let’s do it!”.
So have you done that yet?
KP: It went to the back burner as we each dated. If you start dating, it’s hard to remain as close to a friend of the opposite gender as you were before, no? To go along distantly like that and then break up with our partners, we meet again and comfort each other.
You both think that it’s possible for a man and woman to just be friends, right?
KP: We’ve talked about that before. “If we come to like one another and date, only to break up, then we won’t be able to see each other for an even longer time, so let’s just be friends for a long time.”.
Can you tell us anything about each other’s dark past?
KP: She really loved leggings. She totally looked like a Power Ranger. You went around in green and pink ones, right? HY: It wasn’t green, it was sparkly emerald. I was infatuated with those leggings back then. Kyungpyo has really ugly glasses. Ones that go in swirls. When he wears those, his eyes look like dots. It’s not ‘nerd’, it’s ‘idiot’.

Ok so they got along so well, and then kept a distance as they each dated other people, then start hanging out again after those relationships ended. And when Kyung Pyo said that it’s better to be friends for a long time rather than not meeting each other if they were to break up... WHAT THE.... were they trying to adapt the script of ‘The Time We Were Not In Love’ cos IT’S SO SO SIMILAR I’M IN SHOCK. Except that we don’t know the ending for this one.. But I SHIP.
