“How is bts even better than the televised kiss scene?”
News
Koreaboo
2PM‘s Junho (also known as Lee Jun Ho) and Girls’ Generation‘s YoonA (also known as Lim Yoon A orIm Yoon Ah) have been going viral lately due to their chemistry.
Fans were delighted when it was announced the two idols would lead the romantic-comedy K-Drama King the Land, knowing they have been friends for over a decade. They have worked with each other on a few occasions, showing great chemistry, such as their iconic dance performance ofCamila Cabello andShawn Mendes‘ “Señorita.”
Since JTBC‘s King the Land premiered, viewers have praised the “old-school K-Drama vibes” and the on-screen couple’s chemistry. Junho and YoonA’s chemistry has been so undeniable that it sparked dating rumors.
With their fiery chemistry, viewers have anticipated Junho and YoonA’s characters, Gu Won and Sa Rang, to take the next step in their relationship. Finally, last weekend, they had their first kiss in Episode 8. It exceeded our expectations too.

King the Land garnered praise for an important message of consent as Gu Won asked permission before kissing Sa Rang. Not only that, but it was one of the longest kiss scenes in K-Drama history (it’s about 2 minutes)!
A WHOLE 2 MINUTE KISS? WET? THE STARES? THE TENSION? THE HANDS? PEOPLE DIED 😭
and the way gu won whispered “please allow me” asking for consent HE IS THE SEXIEST AND MOST GREEN FLAG KDRAMA ROMCOM MALE LEAD#KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp8 #LEEJUNHO #YoonA

Now, behind-the-scenes footage from the historic scene has been released. First, thank you, JTBC, for releasing a fixed shot from the kiss scene! Some fans think the newly released footage is even better than the aired scene.

Why didn’t they put Yoona’s heavy breathing at 0:12 in the actual kiss scene?!!

Yet, it’s Junho and YoonA’s responses after the director yelled “Cut” that caught fans’ attention…
Ahead of filming, the actors rehearsed. So, they double-checked positions to ensure a comfortable kiss.
Both Junho x YoonA try to take some position so the kiss they will do later on can be comfortable for each other 😅
See this short video really makes my heart soft and fill with some butterfly 🩵#LimYoonA #임윤아 #YoonA #윤아#KingTheLand #킹더랜드 #KingTheLandEp8 pic.twitter.com/rEOyboPxNT

Why are they always this unserious?!
(While rehearsing for the kiss scene)
Junho: *serious mood* “Please allow me.”
YoonA: “Yes!!! I ALLOW YOU”
Junho: “OKAY, IT’S ALLOWED!”
YoonA: *copying Junho* “OKAY, IT’S ALLOWED!” pic.twitter.com/gIyI7AqHLl— 😵💫 (@ordinarynojaem) July 14, 2023
The rehearsal kiss got guwon swallowing his saliva and contemplating his life for a moment at the end #Junho #LeeJunho #Yoona #LimYoonA #임윤아 #윤아 #킹더랜드 #KTL #KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp8pic.twitter.com/PNGjwty3yF

That rehearsal indeed paid off. By the time they started filming, they were so immersed that it appeared they could have continued if the director hadn’t called “Cut!”
Yoona breathing heavily, pursing her lips after the director yelled cut. Then Junho nodding slightly before moving closer to Yoong
They definitely felt that kiss 💯 #Junho #LeeJunho #Yoona #LimYoonA #임윤아 #윤아 #킹더랜드 #KTL #KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp8 pic.twitter.com/NZtljcMokO

The way they paused, and him waiting for her to pull him in again for another kiss. 🫠🫠🫠#이준호 #LeeJunho #Junho #Guwon#임윤아 #LimYoonA #YoonA #Sarang#킹더랜드 #KingTheLandpic.twitter.com/YsUxhMaY2b

This is kinda the highlight for me
The way they kissed and then taking a breather before wanting to continue again but the director called 'CUT' thenSuch a bummer, Director-nim 😂😂😂#임윤아 #LimYoonA #윤아 #YoonA #킹더랜드 #KingTheLand #Junho #LeeJunho #KingTheLandEp8 https://t.co/tGysnLmorc pic.twitter.com/7VHQFnUcLr

Also, viewers noticed that rather than appear flustered, laugh in response, or even give a friendly hug like many actors do after a kiss scene, YoonA and Junho remained in their positions. Actually, they leaned closer, and he even grabbed her hand.
idk guys most kissing scenes bts that ive seen ended with laughters or playful hugs but they’re like this and idk what it means 😀
one’s breathless, one’s instinctively reaching for the other’s hand 😀😀 #KingTheLand #킹더랜드 #KingTheLandEp8 pic.twitter.com/NZ6KcSvewp

The way the first thing Junho did after the kiss was hold Yoona’s hand, while she held back from trying to fix the hair in his face…

Yet, they have historically laughed during intimate scenes. Who can forget this other iconic scene from Episode 8?
Another episode of 'the moment their eyes met, they can't help but to smile/laugh'😆😆😆#임윤아 #LimYoonA #윤아 #YoonA #킹더랜드 #KingTheLand #Junho #LeeJunho #KingTheLandEp8 pic.twitter.com/ZDiX71Eu5B

They're looking so married 💘
My favourite parts of today's making ❤️ they didn't speak anything here but the shy smile at the end when their eyes met it's making me giggle inside 💘#KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp8 #킹더랜드 #LeeJunho #Junho #이준호 #LimYoona #YoonA #임윤아 pic.twitter.com/Li62Y6OXSJ— Daisy loves KING JUNHO ✨ (@daisy_talks) July 12, 2023
Yet, Junho and YoonA maintained killer chemistry and professionalism while filming their anticipated kiss scene. Especially with the water, the actors were cold. Still, we viewers would have never known based on how “hot” the kiss was.
Junho is literally shivering 🥶 probably because his clothes were lighter than Yoona, we might enjoy the scene but they worked really hard for it 🔥#KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp8 #킹더랜드 #LeeJunho #Junho #이준호 #LimYoona #YoonA #임윤아 pic.twitter.com/daSzqC21af
