Lee Chung Ah and Jung Il Woo say farewell to ‘Flower Boy Ramyun Shop’

tvN‘s ‘Flower Boy Ramyun Shop‘ finally wrapped up its 16-episode run, launching many of its stars to the top of the industry with its popularity.

Actress Lee Chung Ah revealed, “All of us promised not to cry at the end, and we kept the promise. I smiled right till everything was over, but I’m starting to feel the aftereffects of the conclusion now. I feel like my character, ‘Yang Eun Bi’, was drawn in a way that appealed to so many people. I still don’t feel like it’s over and it’s upsetting to let ‘Yang Eunbi’ go. I hope that she’ll live in a world with no more constipation.”

Lee Chung Ah’s character, ‘Yang Eun Bi’, is a teacher-turned-ramyun shop worker who owns a hot temper and irritable bowels.

Co-star Jung Il Woo held his ‘final episode event’ with fans of the drama at a CGV theater. After the final broadcast, Jung Il Woo answered questions from his fans and gave out autographs on still-cuts from the drama.

He also gave away his ramen shop uniform to a lucky fan through a lottery, and shared hugs to commemorate the drama’s end.

“This drama was so, so loved, and it’s a drama I will surely never forget. I hope that ‘Flower Boy Ramen Shop’ and Cha Chisoo [his character] remain in your hearts for a very long time. I had no hardships thanks to the support of my fans. Thank you,” he expressed.

IU reveals her experiences with ghosts

Singer IU shocked the guests on the set of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘ by revealing she had seen ghosts in the past.

On the episode that aired on December 20th, IU remarked that she had seen a ghost while recording her new song, “You & I“.

“There was a small argument with the song composer, so we temporarily put the recording session on hold. I saw that my manager headed into the recording booth, but when I checked, there was no one in there. He came out of a completely different room,” she said, shocking everyone on set.

“And when I was sleeping at the dorms while recording “Good Day“, I experienced a ghost that would whisper “I love you” and blow into my ear. I saw the ghost in my dream later on, and he was very handsome,” she continued.

She especially scared everyone on set when she described another ghost she saw. “I had a dream in which Seo In Young unni kept walking towards me laughing in her high pitched tone. I suddenly had a feeling that this wasn’t a dream. I opened my eyes and saw a girl sitting next to my bed. Her hair was disheveled and wore baggy old clothes. She was looking down, but at that moment, she lifted her head… and she was me. I was so scared and told the CEO that I really couldn’t stand living there anymore and that I even saw myself. So, he allowed me to go live at home.”

IU revealed that her labelmates Sunny Hill, is currently using her dorm, but they too also experienced the same ghost that whispers “I love you”.
