On June 23, a new video titled “For the Present VIP Premiere | A Strange Premiere Where We Promote, Get Angry, and Greet the Camera Instead of Our Guests” was uploaded to Chae Jung-an’s YouTube channel, Chae Jung-an TV.

The video captured the VIP premiere event for Chae Jung-an’s starring film For the Present, where numerous celebrity friends and colleagues came to show their support. Among the attendees were actors and entertainers including Kim Ji-seok, Lee Hyun-yi, Jung So-min, Do Sang-woo, Jang Hee-jin, Lee Mi-do, and Jung Yoon-ha. Chae Jung-an greeted each guest with a bright smile, clearly touched by their presence.

One of the most memorable moments came when Yoon Eun-hye arrived carrying a bouquet of flowers. “I prepared flowers that resemble you, unnie,” she told Chae Jung-an, creating a warm and affectionate atmosphere at the event. The touching gesture reflected the close bond the actresses have maintained since their days working together on Coffee Prince.

Actor Kim Jae-wook appeared wearing a mask and revealed that fellow Coffee Prince star Kim Dong-wook had accompanied him. “Dong-wook came too. We came together,” Kim Jae-wook explained, further exciting fans of the iconic drama. The appearance of multiple cast members underscored the enduring friendship among the Coffee Prince family nearly 19 years after the series first aired.

Gong Yoo also attended the event, concealing his face with a mask and cap as he entered the venue. As soon as he arrived, Chae Jung-an warmly embraced him. The actor then showed interest in the YouTube filming setup, jokingly asking, “What is Chae Jung-an TV?” His playful interaction added another charming moment to the gathering.

Before the screening began, the cast participated in a stage greeting session for attendees. During this segment, Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun-hye were seen seated side by side, attentively watching Chae Jung-an on stage. The sight of the two stars together quickly caught fans’ attention, given their enduring popularity as the lead couple of Coffee Prince. Their appearance together served as a nostalgic reminder of the drama that remains one of the most beloved romantic K-dramas of the 2000s.

The VIP premiere became more than just a celebration of Chae Jung-an’s new film—it also turned into an unexpected reunion for the cast of Coffee Prince. With Gong Yoo, Yoon Eun-hye, Kim Jae-wook, and Kim Dong-wook all showing up to support their longtime friend, the event showcased the lasting friendships forged through one of Korea’s most iconic television series.

Nearly two decades after Coffee Prince first aired, the cast’s reunion continues to prove that some bonds remain as strong as ever.
