Shin Hyun Bin Relationship: Did She Really Date Hospital Playlist Co-Star Yoo Yeon Seok?
From supporting roles, Shin Hyun Bin proved that she is ready to take bigger roles after joining the cast of "Reflection of You" with Go Hyun Jung and her recent series "Monstrous" opposite Goo Kyo Hwan.
Interestingly, viewers are looking forward to her team up with Hallyu star Song Joong Ki for the highly anticipated revenge K-drama "The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate."
Based on the webtoon of the same name, Shin Hyun Bin's character Seo Min Young will be intertwined with Jin Do Joon, played by Song Joong Ki, who will be reborn as Yoon Hyun Woo, the chaebol's family's younger son.
Adding to the list of the actress' back-to-back projects, she is also in talks to star in the romance-drama "Say You Love Me" alongside award-winning actor Jung Woo Sung.
However, before the series featuring Shin Hyun Bin as the main character, K-drama fans knew her as the timid surgery resident Jang Gyeo Wool in "Hospital Playlist."
99ers, as what fans would call them, definitely enjoyed the heart-fluttering moments showcasing the budding romance of Dr. Jang and the charming pediatric surgeon Ahn Jung Won, played by Yoo Yeon Seok.
With the popularity of their team-up, also known as the "Wintergarden couple," some claimed that the two have dated in real life.
Shin Hyun Bin Relationship: Truth About the Dating Rumors with 'Hospital Playlist' Co-Star Yoo Yeon Seok
At the height of the K-drama's popularity, Shin Hyun Bin and Yoo Yeon Seok became a trending topic on social media, especially in "Hospital Playlist 2" when Jang Gyeo Wool and Ahn Jung Won became an official couple.
One episode even dubbed Dr. Jang as "the one who beat God" since Ahn Jung Won previously mentioned that he is set to become a priest and vowed not to serve the Lord; hence being married and having kids is not his main priority.
Fortunately, because of fate and Lee Ik Jun's (Jo Jung Suk) hard work, he managed to turn things around and introduce Dr. Jang to his best friend, and the rest is history for the "Wintergarden couple."
