On the show, Kim Ji Seok also revealed the contact name he has saved for Lee Joo Myung. According to the actor, he still has her saved as “Writer Joo.”
I have her saved as ‘Writer Joo.’ When we were dating secretly, I couldn’t let her name get caught, so I saved her like that. I haven’t changed it since then, and I never thought to.
