Fifteen years after they clashed on screen in Boys Over Flowers, Goo Hye-sun and Lee Min-jung are suddenly being linked in a new real-life drama—with Ahn Jae-hyun as the unexpected middleman.
In the early hours of August 8, Goo Hye-sun unleashed a public post aimed at ex-husband Ahn Jae-hyun, accusing him of “using our divorce to stay relevant” and warning him to build his career without “piggybacking on someone else’s name.”
Hours later, Lee Min-jung appeared with Ahn Jae-hyun on the variety show Heart On Wheels. Not only did she urge him to “start dating soon,” but she also crowned herself his “ally”—and even promised to review his future girlfriend. Her parting gift? A set of matching perfumes to speed up his romance life.
Some netizens instantly read between the lines, taking Lee Min-jung’s “Find someone good” remark as subtle shade toward Goo Hye-sun. Comments flooded forums:
- That was clearly aimed at her.
- They’ve never been close, even back during Boys Over Flowers days.
- Or maybe people are just overanalyzing? She could’ve been joking.
Regardless of intent, the moment reignited curiosity about their personal rapport, sparking whispers of a quiet rivalry that survived well beyond the drama set.
Since her Boys Over Flowers breakthrough as the modern “Cinderella,” Goo Hye-sun has lived multiple lives—actress, director, inventor, and now, entrepreneur.
In 2025, she officially launched her own startup, certified by the Korea Venture Business Association, after years of personal reinvention post-divorce.
Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung has maintained her polished public image as an actress and wife to superstar Lee Byung-hun. She’s gearing up for her new drama Yeah, Let’s Get a Divorce while enjoying family life with two children.
While neither actress has commented on the alleged tension, online forums are buzzing. Some want to see a reunion project to “settle the score,” while others think this is just media stirring the pot.
One thing’s clear—whether as Boys Over Flowers rivals or real-life headline makers, Goo Hye-sun and Lee Min-jung still know how to keep the public talking.
