Im Ji Yeon was at the ceremony as a nominee for the Best Actress Award; however, her real-time reaction to Lee Do Hyun's comment was unknown because she was backstage to present another award.
During the interview, Im Ji Yeon mentioned that she could not hear Lee Do Hyun's comment about her at the time: "I couldn't hear it because I was backstage. But I congratulated him a lot afterward. Many other people have also congratulated him, though."
The actress spoke about her relationship with Lee Do Hyun, "Having the same job, we have a positive influence on each other. Even though we don't get involved in each other's work, we always cheer each other on. I feel grateful to have someone who supports me wholeheartedly."
When asked, "How do you feel about your relationship with Lee Do Hyun being public? Don't you think it's too much to handle?", Im Ji Yeon paused briefly.
"We got caught, so there's nothing I can do!", she uttered with a sigh, causing the reporters to laugh out loud.
"I mean, I didn't intend to make our relationship public. I just hope Do Hyun will stay healthy during his time in the military.", the actress remarked.
