Who says opposite sexes cannot be friends? Below are some iconic platonic couples in the Korean showbiz, featuring the top of stars like Song Hye Kyo, Kim Go Eun, and Park Shin Hye.

If Song Hye Kyo is a visual goddess with popularity transcending Asia, then Yoo Ah In is known as the youngest “Best Leading Actor” at two prestigious acting awards. Both having talent and visuals, the two are simply living the most admirable lives. 

Before becoming successful like he is today, Yoo Ah In was once nicknamed “Song Hye Kyo’s best friend”. Yet, he has never been bothered by such a title nor used it for clout, and instead always shows how proud he is to know the 5-year-older actress, who in his words, is simply “exceptional”.

In fact, some netizens even described Song Hye Kyo and Yoo Ah In’s relationship as “family-like”. Each time one of them takes on a new project, there will surely be a food truck sent by the other at the filming site. 

Furthermore, Yoo Ah In often comes to Song Hye Kyo’s house and takes photos there to post on SNS. He also calls the actress a “queen”, and is often featured in Song Hye Kyo’s various SNS posts.
