Lee Chae-min's Feelings for Im Yoon-ah Blossom in 'The Chef of the Tyrant'

Lee Chae-min is capturing viewers' attention with his budding romance for Im Yoon-ah in the latest episode of tvN's 'The Chef of the Tyrant'.

In the broadcast on the 20th, Lee Heon (Lee Chae-min) made it clear he could no longer hide his feelings for Yeon Ji-yeong (Im Yoon-ah).

Lee Heon summoned Yeon Ji-yeong to inquire about her health and a romantic tension arose as they prepared a meal for Prince Jinmyeong together. When Yeon Ji-yeong remarked, 'It's a good place to have a meal with the young prince,' Lee Heon surprised her by replying, 'It's also a good place for us to have a meal together.'

As Yeon Ji-yeong turned to leave, Lee Heon held her hand and gifted her a new royal chef's uniform, signaling his affection. When she hesitated, mentioning she had to leave once she found 'Mang-un-rok,' Lee Heon expressed his reluctance, asking, 'Who said you can leave?' He even subtly asked her out, suggesting they meet at Jangwonseo after the meal with Prince Jinmyeong.

However, when Yeon Ji-yeong declined, citing a prior engagement with Ming Dynasty chefs, Lee Heon displayed jealousy, declaring, 'I forbid it.' Seeing her sulk, he quickly said goodbye, urging her to come meet him soon, hinting at the beginning of their romance.

Lee Chae-min, born in 2000, debuted in the drama 'High Class' in 2021. He gained significant popularity after being selected as the youngest MC for KBS's 'Music Bank' in 2022. He is currently solidifying his position as a rising actor through various projects.
