Actress Kim Hye-yoon drew public attention after candidly sharing on a broadcast that she had lived with a fellow actor for four years.

On the January 27th episode of Channel TEO’s "Salon Drip," lead actors Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon from the drama "Today, Human But" appeared as guests and discussed a range of topics.

Host Jang Do-yeon began the conversation by mentioning actress Jung Ji-hyun, known as Kim Hye-yoon’s close friend.

Kim Hye-yoon introduced Jung Ji-hyun as “a university classmate and my roommate of four years,” explaining their special bond.

She recalled, “One day, Ji-hyun suddenly sent me a link to ‘Late Night Ghost Talk’ via KakaoTalk. I thought it must be a really scary episode, but it turned out Ji-hyun herself was appearing on the show.”

“At first, it was funny seeing such a close friend act on TV, so I was at ease watching. But as the story unfolded, things took a serious turn, and by the end, I had goosebumps.” Kim shared her honest reaction.

When asked about their four years living together, Kim Hye-yoon revealed, “We never had any major fights.”

“We would just naturally say, ‘Let’s eat out today,’ if one of us wasn’t in a good mood, or honestly let each other know, ‘I hope you come home early today.’ We really respected each other’s feelings,” she shared, highlighting the mutual understanding in their relationship.

The actress confessed that she had saved Jung Ji-hyun’s number in her phone as “my spouse,” which underscored how much like family they had grown—prompting laughter in the studio.

In response, Jang Do-yeon joked, “So am I the one staying at home cooking soup and waiting?” Kim Hye-yoon laughed along, recalling their almost married-couple routine.

The host then asked Kim Hye-yoon about her recent experience working in the horror genre, and whether there was anything she particularly feared.

Kim amusingly replied, “There are things scarier than ghosts,” revealing her particular aversion to cockroaches, which she calls “Teacher Ba.” “The house I used to live in had so many cockroaches. People don’t believe me when I say some were the size of my palm. You could even hear them walking,” she recounted, surprising everyone.

Jang Do-yeon agreed, adding, “Those creatures have a distinctive sound. If you get a weird ‘hiss’ feeling, it’s almost always them,” drawing shared laughter.
