Lee Chae-min expressed his heartfelt worries for Im Yoon-ah in the latest episode of tvN's weekend drama 'The Tyrant's Chef.'

King Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min) called Yeon Ji-young after her match, stating he specifically wanted to see her to help her rest. He offered her a cup of tea, which featured a design of the moon. Ji-young smiled brightly upon seeing the cup, and Lee Heon explained its significance, saying, "That's Moon Tea. The moon in the sky is reflected in the cup."
