Now, OSEN reported on May 9 that the "Iksong couple", meaning Lee Ik-jun (played by Jo Jung-suk) and Chae Song-hwa (played by Jeon Mi-do), will appear in a cameo in the upcoming episode of Resident Playbook. Fans could not keep calm and took to X to express their excitement. Here's what one X user wrote:
