On the morning of the 30th, Lee Chae-min met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and had an interview with the end of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 『The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu). Lee Chae-min is currently publicly dating actor Ryu Da-in. It has drawn attention for its appearance in public places where it seems to post a luvstagram with a couple ring on. In response, Lee Chae-min declined to say, `We don't talk much about the work, so I don't talk about that either.'
There may be pressure to act romance because he is in an open romantic relationship, but Lee Chae-min is rather sublimated as an advantage. Rather than being a burden, he gives me the passion to be more immersed in this role and do my best to be seen as something. I think I have the mindset that I can only do that if I look a little more like a character (without thinking of public love)."
Recently, Lee Chae-min and Ryu Da-in made headlines by posting photos of birthday cakes of the same brand on their respective accounts. There were suspicions about 'Isn't it a luvstagram?' but Lee Chae-min said "I wasn't a luvsta, but I heard the thought that I was interested in it as much as I did."
In addition, regarding the coupling that was publicly worn at the end of the show "It's a ring worn for fashion, but I wanted to have something for fashion." But I didn't think there would be reporters in front of me, and I didn't think I would take such pictures. My mind is to enjoy eating meat, but if I have to say it, it's my mistake, but when asked if it's a coupling, he answered "That's a secret."
"The Tyrant's Chef" is a fantasy survival romance of more than 500 years as a time-slip French chef meets the king, the worst tyrant and best gourmet. Lee Chae-min worked with Lim Yoon-ah, who played Yeon Ji-young while playing Yeon Hee-gun Lee Heon in the play. In particular, Lee Chae-min received favorable reviews from viewers even though Park Sung-hoon, who had previously been nominated for a casting, suddenly stepped down and quickly joined and led the play.
"The Tyrant's Chef" recorded 17.1% of viewers in the final episode and broke the highest ratings among all channel miniseries aired this year, as well as topping TV-OTT overall performers for five consecutive weeks (based on Good Data Corporation Fundex) and topping Netflix's global TOP10 TV (based on Netflix's official ranking aggregation site Tudum) for two consecutive weeks, captivating viewers around the world.
