While some Korean stars developed romantic relationships on the set of K-dramas, these stars were able to maintain genuine friendships even after wrapping up the series. 

From junior actors and actresses to top stars, these celebrities prove that they can find true friends in the same industry.

A month after wrapping up the film, the Hallyu star teased fans with a picture of him and Woo Do Hwan as he geared up for his enlistment. 

The 30-year-old star stuns with his new haircut, showing off his buzzcut. 

"Yeong, I hope that now you can become the best shooter in the field," Lee Min Ho's Instagram caption reads, wishing his friend good luck on his enlistment.

Woo Do Hwan was officially discharged from the military service in January 5 and is set to appear in upcoming Kdramas "Bloodhounds" and "Joseon Lawyer."

After meeting in the 2012 sitcom Shut Up Family, South Korean heartthrobs Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik stayed connected and eventually became close friends. 

Their closeness even became a subject of dating rumors saying that they are in a romantic relationship but the "Parasite" star shut down these rumors. 

Following the sitcom, they appeared in each other's projects. Choi Woo Shik played a supporting role in Park Seo Joon's "The Divine Fury" while he made a cameo in "Parasite" where he gets to play Min Hyuk, Park Da Hye's former tutor. 

Interestingly, besides their bromance, Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik are also members of the celebrity group Wooga Squad along with BTS' V, Park Hyung Sik, and Peakboy.

Probably one of the main reasons why viewers were drawn to the chemistry of Son Ye Jin, Kim Ji Hyun, and Jeon Mi Do is that their friendship seen in JTBC's "Thirty-Nine" were real. 

The trio stars as longtime friends who are about to welcome one of the biggest milestones in their life-and that is turning forty. 

While the finale episode aired on the same day as Son Ye Jin's wedding, Kim Ji Hyun and Jeon Mi Do are one of the few guests who attended the ceremony. 

Jeon Mi Do even made headlines after she revealed that she was very emotional during her friend's wedding. 

"I went into the bride's waiting room and both Joo Hee (Kim Ji Hyun's character) and I cried. It felt like marrying off a longtime friend from high school," she said, according to an outlet,  adding that Son Ye Jin's wedding dress made her burst into tears.
