5 facts you might not know about Kim Soo-hyun’s homosexual kiss in the hit drama “The Thieves” starring Jeon Ji-hyun
The same-sex kiss scene in "The Thieves" was like a nightmare for both actors, Kim Soo-hyun and Choi Deok-moon.
In “The Thieves,” Yenicall (Jeon Ji-hyun) tried to seduce the casino manager with her natural smell and beauty, but the manager’s taste was not Yenicall, but the pretty boy Zampano (Kim Soo-hyun). Zampano eventually became the subject of the kiss.
