There’s a real-life link between the two main love interests in XO Kitty, and it’s wild

There's a real-life link between the two love interests in XO Kitty

The love triangles get messier and messier.

XO Kitty is one of the most wholesome shows to ever come out of Netflix, but it brings DRAMA. It’s a bunch of angsty teens who are all embroiled in love triangles with a side of a heartwarming family reunion. In season two, Kitty finds herself embroiled in not just a love triangle, but a love square with Juliana, Yuri and Min Ho. It’s almost too much to process, but just to add to that pile, there’s a wild real-life link between the two main love interests on XO Kitty.

The real-life link is between Yuri and Min Ho

Both Yuri and Min Ho have it bad for Kitty at different times on the show, and right now it looks like things with her and Min Ho might take off in season three. However, what you might not have known is that Min Ho and Yuri are actually related in real life!

Yes, Gia Kim who plays Yuri is actually the big sister of Sang Heon Lee, AKA Min Ho. Gia Kim is 32 years old while Sang Heon Lee is 28.

Wait, why do they have different accents if they’re brother and sister?

The reason Sang Heon Lee speaks with an English accent is because he went to uni in Northampton in the UK. Gia Kim went to NYU and therefore has more of an American accent. They learned English in different countries.

In an interview with Her Campus, Gia shared that both she and Sang Heon Lee were born in South Korea, and grew up in Hong Kong. Gia is a couple of years older than Sang Heon Lee and spent the first few years of her life in South Korea. She called Hong Kong her “second hometown.”
