On the 19th, Lee Yeon shared a photo of herself shopping with Gong Hyo-jin on her social media, captioning it "Shopping at Olive Young with my eldest sister."

Gong Hyo-jin also posted on her social media that day, saying, "Today we spent an interview day together," sharing images of the two walking down the street. She added a note to the photo: "The exciting height difference between the first and third sisters," highlighting their cheerful sisterly chemistry. Another photo captured the two embracing tightly.

Gong Hyo-jin expressed her affection for Lee Yeon, saying, "On our way to dinner after wrapping up, the third sister wanted to stop by Olive Young, so we walked together. It might become a cherished memory of our 'Gyeongju Journey'."

In response, Lee Yeon commented, "Let's make memories that last forever," reciprocating the sentiment.

The two stars co-starred as sisters in the upcoming film 'Gyeongju Journey,' set to release on the 26th. The movie is a family revenge drama about four mothers and daughters who embark on a life-changing journey after eight years of waiting for their youngest daughter, Gyeongju, who never returned from a school trip. Gong Hyo-jin plays the eldest sister, Yeong-ju, while Lee Yeon portrays the third sister, Dong-ju.

Notably, Lee Yeon continues to maintain close relationships with fellow actors beyond the set. Recently, she revealed that her bond with singer and actress IU has grown stronger while filming MBC's new drama '21st Century Grand Duchess.'

During an interview for 'Gyeongju Journey' held on this day, Lee Yeon addressed the dating rumors with IU, stating, "A senior fan of Ji-eun came to another independent film screening and whispered in my ear, 'Are you dating Ji-eun?' I just laughed it off at the time."

She continued, laughing, "We're enjoying ourselves. That's how close we are—we're having fun. It's great. Everyone seems to think our chemistry is appealing, so we'll keep enjoying it. We didn't plan any of this," denying the dating rumors with IU.
