​​No real-life romance bloomed from My Annoying Brother 🍿 In fact:

  • There’s no evidence that Jo Jung‑suk and Doh Kyung‑soo (D.O.)—who play brothers—were anything more than co-stars. They’re praised for their incredible on-screen chemistry

  • Park Shin hye, who plays their judo coach, has never been romantically linked to either actor during or after filming.

  • Interviews and press coverage focus solely on their deep sibling bond, respect, and professional friendship—nothing romantic.

  • Fans often mention how believable their relationship is, but it’s always described as realistic brotherly connection, not romance.

  • All three actors maintain private personal lives, and no dating rumors or off-screen relationships emerged from this film.

So while My Annoying Brother gives us heartfelt family drama, any “real-life romance” remains strictly off-screen!
