Who didn't have something of a crush on Gong Yoo when he played the coffee shop heir in "Coffee Prince?" Maybe even Park Shin Hye.

On a recent episode of the TV program "Some Guys, Some Girls," she admitted that she jumped at the chance to meet him. The opportunity arose through her friendship with actress Chae Jung Ahn, who co-starred with Gong Yoo in "Coffee Prince."

Park, the star of "Pinocchio" and the film "The Royal Tailors" recently visited Chae on the set of "Some Guys, Some Girls." The conversation naturally turned to dating, love and marriage.

Chae, 37, and Park, 25, have been friends for the last four years, despite the age difference and they often socialize with singer Chae Yeon, 36, and actress Yoon So Yi, 30.

Chae Jung Ahn has been like an older sister to Park, who recently posted a picture of the two of them together on her Instagram page. She also uploaded another photo of the two together at Chae Jung Ahn's "Super Concert Enjoy Saturday" on May 30 in Busan. Along with the photo she wrote, "Chae Jung Ahn unni is the best."

"I learned a lot from Chae Jung Ahn," said Park when she appeared on the program. "She taught me how to handle men."

Chae Jung Ahn said that since she met Park at such a young age, she wondered what kind of woman she might become and how she would handle love and dating.

"Now I know I worried for nothing," said Chae. "She is doing fine on her own."

Park Shin Hye has acquired a fair share of admirers, including a few celebrities. Her "The Royal Tailors" co-star Yoo Yeon Suk said he would be happy to date her. She so impressed 2PM's Ok Taecyeon on the reality show "Three Meals A Day" that he became her fan.

It seems that Park has long been a fan of actor Gong Yoo. Chae Jung Ahn knew that Park was a fan and related the story of how she introduced them.

"I invited her to a get-together I was at," said Chae. "Gong Yoo was present and I knew she was a fan of his. I was surprised to see how her voice and expressions changed when she was around him, how sexy she looked."

Park Shin Hye did not remember it quite that way.

"I was lying down in bed after taking a shower but when I got her call, I rushed out and met Gong Yoo with no make-up on and messy hair."

Even with messy hair, she probably looked great.

The episode of "Some Girls, Some Guys" was filmed on June 1 and will air on June 2.
