Kim So-Yeon, who plays the charismatic North Korean guard in KBS’s Wed-Thur drama IRIS, had about 3 birthday parties played out for her last week.

Lee Byung Hun and the 2 directors, Yang Yoon Ho and Kim Gyu Tae held separate surprise birthday parties for her. While Lee Byung Hun prepared cupcakes for Kim So Yeon, Kim Gyu Tae (the director) and the crew prepared a birthday cake for her to celebrate her birthday.

Kim So Yeon was so engrossed in playing her role that she didn’t even notice that the crew had prepared a birthday cake and party for her. As such,  she was visibly touched when Yang Yoon Ho (the director) handed her her birthday cake. After proceeding to Incheon for filming later on in the day, Kim So Yeon celebrated her birthday again with Kim Gyu Tae and crew. It was a very memorable experience for her as she had 3 ‘birthday cakes’ to cut in 1 day.

Kim So Yeon expressed that ‘this is the best birthday i’ve ever had’ and her feelings of gratitude towards the staff for preparing the birthday celebration for her.

Meanwhile, Kim So Yeon has received favourable reviews for her role as a strong agent in IRIS from viewers.

Were the sudden ‘lovelines’ in IRIS a mistake by the production team?
