The special episode 1 of “Queen of Tears” aired on May 4th reveals interesting insights into the making of the drama. Notably, the exchanges between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won have led fans to uncover hints about their relationship off the screen.
In particular, Kim Soo Hyun shared memorable moments from filming in Germany. He mentioned that besides filming, he also managed to visit the zoo during his free time. Netizens immediately revisited past photos and speculated that Kim Soo Hyun went to the zoo with Kim Ji Won.
According to a post on July 17, 2023, all four staff members of Kim Ji Won and Kim Soo Hyun posted photos taken at the zoo in Germany. Around the same time, someone on the street posted on X, claiming they saw Kim Soo Hyun and five people in black shirts at the zoo in Berlin.
Among these five people, it’s highly likely that two are his assistants and two are Kim Ji Won’s assistants, while the remaining person is speculated to be Kim Ji Won.
In mid-July, a fan from China spotted Kim Soo Hyun shopping at a Carhartt store in Berlin, and shortly after, Kim Ji Won was seen wearing a Carhartt logo hat at the German airport before flying back to Korea.
Looking at the map, the Carhartt store in Berlin and the Berlin zoo are very close. This further supports the belief among fans that the two indeed went to the zoo together and then went shopping together, but because Kim Ji Won was wearing black and covering up, she wasn’t recognized.
After Kim Soo Hyun’s revelation and the findings by netizens, fans of the couple are even more excited.
