Kim Go-eun Shares Weekend Reunion With Lee Sang-yi and Kim Yong-ji, Her 1991-Born K-Arts Classmates
Kim Go-eun posted relaxed weekend photos with Lee Sang-yi and Kim Yong-ji, fellow 1991-born actors from Korea National University of Arts School of Drama. The images spotlight their long-running friendship as all three continue building careers in Korean drama and film.
Actress Kim Go-eun reminded fans of her long-standing friendships by revealing her weekend daily life with Lee Sang-yi and Kim Yong-ji. On the 19th, Kim Go-eun posted several photos on her SNS with the short caption, “The '91-borns'.”
The photos capture the three spending time together on relaxed streets and in indoor spaces. Rather than at a decorated event venue, Kim Go-eun, Lee Sang-yi, and Kim Yong-ji showed a natural atmosphere, laughing and playing around in a setting closer to daily life.
1991-born Korea National University of Arts School of Drama Class of '10
This post caught attention as more than just a simple friendship photo because all three are known to be actors born in 1991 and members of the Class of 2010 at the Korea National University of Arts School of Drama. Kim Go-eun and Lee Sang-yi have frequently been mentioned as classmates from Korea National University of Arts for a long time, and the photo including Kim Yong-ji shows how actors of the same generation have maintained their relationships while moving through different works.
The scenes in the photos are far from glamorous official events. Kim Go-eun and Lee Sang-yi struck playful poses in front of a building, and Kim Yong-ji took a comfortable selfie with Kim Go-eun. They were also captured looking at a mobile phone together or bursting into laughter near a bench.
Where Three Actors From Stage and Drama Intersect
The reason the public is drawn to such photos is that they can see the faces of actors outside of the roles they play. Kim Go-eun has repeatedly taken on emotionally layered characters in films and dramas, while Lee Sang-yi has shown both bright energy and stable acting while moving between the stage, dramas, and variety shows. Kim Yong-ji, a former model turned actress, has also built a calm presence in dramas and films.
The commonality of being from the Korea National University of Arts School of Drama cannot be overlooked. As colleagues who learned acting at the same time and went through similar anxieties and competitions, old classmates take on a more special meaning as an actor's career grows longer.
Current Activities Continuing Through TVING Works
Kim Go-eun recently returned to viewers through the TVING original series 'Yumi's Cells Season 3,' and Lee Sang-yi is showing his presence as a military officer character in the TVING original 'The Legend of Kitchen Soldier.' Since this is a scene where actors active in different works have gathered again in a private setting, these photos are closer to showing the continuity of their relationship rather than promoting new works.
Kim Go-eun, Lee Sang-yi, and Kim Yong-ji are all actors who have shown different faces within their works. This post serves as a record of private friendship and simultaneously reminds us that these 1991-born actors are expanding their respective places within Korean dramas and films today.
