Actor Jung Kyung Ho was caught off guard at the Pro Bono press event when a joking question about a “date” came up.

During the livestream presentation for tvN’s new legal drama, the cast and director introduced the series, where Jung Kyung Ho plays Kang David, a star judge who suddenly falls from grace and is forced to join a public-interest legal team.

As the event wrapped up, MC Park Kyung Lim teased him for “issue-maker–worthy news,” and he shyly insisted he had nothing to reveal. But when the director jokingly added, “At least a date,” Jung Kyung Ho panicked especially since he’s been publicly dating Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung for 14 years.

Flustered, he quickly shut it down, joking instead about the drama’s premiere date and his birthday, earning laughs from everyone.
