"I tried to see everything with my left eye but my eyesight was getting really bad," Jung Hae In reasoned. "I couldn't do the action scenes properly since the distance feels so near when it's not, so I settled to put the eyepatch on my right eye."

Kim Hye Jun, who was worried about her co-star, asked if he was feeling okay. Thankfully, Jung Hae In has recovered, and has even his eyes checked by professionals.

Meanwhile, the two of them also teased Go Kyung Pyo for his adorable appearance in "Connect" despite playing the role of a psychopath.
