Yoon Chan-young Discusses His First-ever Onscreen and Offscreen Kiss

All of Us are Dead actor Yoon Chan-young appeared as a guest on the hit variety show Knowing Bros on March 12. He talked about many others, but the key attraction was him revealing that he had his life’s first-ever kiss in the series.

Host Kang Ho-dong asked the young actor for a behind-the-scenes story of his character, Lee Cheong-san’s kiss with childhood and school crush, Nam On-jo, played by Park Ji-hu.

The two best friends were seen leaning on each other throughout the show, but only Cheong-san held romantic feelings for On-jo. The kiss was pretty dramatized towards the end and made the wait worth it.

In reply to the host’s question, Yoon Chan-young said,

To be honest, that was the first kiss of my whole life.

The hosts joked in disbelief, but the young actor replied that his demanding life left him no other pursuit. The 2001-born actor Yoon Chan-young debuted as a child actor in the MBC drama When a Man Falls in Love in 2013.

The All of Us are Dead actor then explained that he did think that his first kiss would end up being on a set during filming, almost like he predicted it.

No, it really was. I started acting when I was a kid, and over the years, as I kept acting, I started worrying, ‘If I keep this up, I might really end up having my first kiss in one of my acting projects.’ I’d thought that for several years, but that day, it ended up happening.

However, the lack of experience ultimately had Yoon Chan-Young goof up. He added that he didn’t know about tilting heads to avoid the collision of noses and in the first take, ended up banging his nose with Park Ji-hu’s. The soon-to-be 21-year-old actor even mentioned that he rang up Park Ji-hu to discuss the scene.

Meanwhile, the kiss cemented the couple’s relationship and it was placed right before Cheong-san, who a zombie already bit, sacrificed himself to have the classmates run to safety.

However, many believe the character is among the ones who were immune to the virus and will return in a potential sequel.

Other actors who attended Knowing Bros were Ha Seung–ri (Jang Ha-ri), Yoo In-soo (Yoon Gwi-nam), Lee Eun-saem (Park Mi-jin), and Im Jae-hyuk (Yang Dae-su).
