In a recent episode of SBS' popular television show 'Whenever Possible', renowned entertainer Yu Jae Seok expressed his astonishment upon learning about actress Kim Hye Yoon's relatively relaxed schedule despite the immense success of her latest drama, 'Lovely Runner'.
Kim Hye Yoon, who gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of the charming female lead in tvN's 'Lovely Runner', appeared as a guest on the June 4th episode of the show.
As she prepared to join the hosts on set, she candidly admitted to feeling nervous about her first TV appearance in a while, hinting at a rather laid-back routine since the conclusion of the drama.

Upon her arrival, Yu Jae Seok and co-host Yoo Yeon Seok warmly greeted her, initiating a conversation about her recent activities.
To their surprise, Kim Hye Yoon revealed that she had been spending most of her time at home, indulging in leisure activities like playing games.
Yu Jae Seok Expressed his disbeliefs.
"Why are you having such ordinary days at this point when you've become such a big star? I mean, you should be having fan meet-ups overseas!"

However, Kim Hye Yoon clarified that her low-key lifestyle was a deliberate choice, stating that she had been enjoying a well-deserved break following the demanding filming schedule of 'Lovely Runner', which concluded in April.
Despite her lack of public appearances, Kim Hye Yoon emphasized her eagerness to engage with fans and participate in shows if given the opportunity.
"It's not like that at all. And I must say this. I could only make show appearances when I receive offers, right? So far, I haven't received any. I'd love to appear on any show if I have the chance."

Speculation surrounding Kim Hye Yoon's post-drama activities intensified, particularly in comparison to her co-star Byeon Woo-seok, who had been more active in the public eye.
Addressing concerns about her agency's involvement, Kim Hye Yoon asserted that her availability for show appearances depended on receiving offers, which had been lacking thus far.
Kim Hye Yoon's journey to stardom has been marked by notable performances in various dramas, including 'Sky Castle', 'Extraordinary You', and 'Secret Royal Inspector & Joy', establishing her as a versatile actress with a dedicated fan base.
