Actor Nam-jun Heo marked the wrap of SBS's My Royal Nemesis by sharing several photos taken with Ji-yeon Lim—instantly sparking buzz among K-Drama fans.

On the 24th, Heo posted the shots on his Instagram with the caption, "No need to get too sad about it," alongside a carousel of memories.

In the photos, he lets his wind-swept hair fall naturally as he beams in a black suit. Posing with him, Ji-yeon Lim wears a yellow dress that gives off a bright, refreshing vibe, drawing attention.

A short video in the middle of the carousel shows the two playfully bickering and showing affection. Heo jokingly summons Ji-yeon Lim's hit role—Park Yeon-jin from The Glory—by calling out, "Yeon-jin~," making her flash an embarrassed smile.

Fans reacted with comments like, "So cool," "Always cheering for you, Nam-jun," and "Looking forward to your next project."

Meanwhile, Heo recently drew major buzz playing Cha Segye in the SBS drama My Royal Nemesis, and he's confirmed to star next in tvN's 2027 series Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid.
