On the other hand, Gong Hyo Jin’s agency, Management SOOP, shared her closing remarks on their official account: “This is the space station. I will now read Commander Eve Kim’s final letter.” It states, “Just the fact that When the Stars Gossip made it to the world after a long filming process and post-production already feels like an achievement. As an actress, I am drawn to the charm of this fresh storyline, and I hope viewers enjoy following along just as I did… and that they are able to experience the diversity of Korean drama genres.” 

She also expressed gratitude and thanked all the viewers who love When the Stars Gossip. The post reads, “A drama that feels unfamiliar and honest. I sincerely thank you.'
