As the release of Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines draws closer, lead stars Park Bo-gum and IU have been having fun with the promotions.

Recently, Bo-gum appeared on Yoo In-na’s radio show, unaware that IU was secretly present, disguised as a staff member. Clad in a cap and mask, she went unnoticed—even when she ‘checked’ In-na and Bo-gum, maintaining her cover.

Before revealing her prank, IU let Bo-gum speak freely with In-na about his experience working on the show. At one point, In-na shared, “I heard IU say that Bo-gum is 100 percent pure and good, and never does anything wrong. Your other co-stars, including Bae Suzy, have said the same.”

Bo-gum, ever humble, responded, “I think I just have a habit of keeping the atmosphere positive.”

During their conversation, Bo-gum spoke to IU over the phone, still unaware she was in the same studio. Jokingly demanding a compliment, IU then asked if he felt nervous during the interview. After much teasing, Bo-gum laughed and playfully pretended to struggle—only for IU to finally drop her act, exclaiming, “Who is making our darling struggle?”

Cue shock and laughter, as Bo-gum was caught completely off guard. Clips from the interview have since been circulating on Twitter, with fans expressing admiration for their friendship and chemistry—only adding to the excitement for the show’s release today.
