Everyone's favourite matchmaker, Kitty Song Covey, is back — and this time she takes centre stage in her own spin-off series called XO, Kitty where she travels halfway around the world to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, Dae.
If you haven't watched XO, Kitty yet, I would definitely recommend sitting down with some snacks and binge-watching it. The series is a wholesome, sweet and fun celebration of cultural identity, plus, there's lots and lots of romance.
Besides the storyline, fans have fallen in love with the new additions to the cast, in particular Sang Heon Lee and Gia Kim, who play the popular and cocky Min Ho and the queen bee Yuri.
What we all didn't know though is that Sang Heon and Gia are actually siblings in real life.
Yep, that's right. They're not just castmates, they're a talented brother and sister duo.
The pair revealed this in an interview with BuzzFeed Australia, where — after being asked 'Who's most like their character?', Gia pointed to Sang Heon and said, "I mean, I can say this because I'm actually his sister in real life."
"He's not as fancy as he is in Min Ho. Like, he's not as popular, but he does have his routines. He likes what he likes."
Meanwhile, cut to Sang Heon who can't stop laughing because his sister had the audacity to casually roast him during a press interview for XO, Kitty.
Despite being siblings, you've most likely noticed that Sang Heon and Gia have completely different accents when speaking English. That's because they both studied abroad and learned English in different countries.

Meanwhile, Sang Heon studied at both an international school and later attended the University of Northampton in England, which is where he picked up his British accent.
