On January 2, 2025, MBC Drama released behind-the-scenes footage from its ninth and tenth episodes of the mystery romance drama When The Phone Rings. The footage featured the protagonists Baek Sa-eon and Hee-joo, played by Yoo Yeo-seok and Chae Soo-bin, respectively.

As a result, people flooded the internet with their reactions to the couple's humorous bond off-camera. One X user commented:
