Seo Kang-joon released behind-the-scenes footage from the filming of his new KBS drama “Are You Human?” via Naver’s V app Wednesday.

The video showed the actor playing the two roles -- Nam Shin and the identical-looking artificially intelligent robot Nam Shin3.

“Today I’m filming the scene where the robot Nam Shin3 perfectly plays the human Nam Shin’s successful life,” Seo said.

“It’s a large-budget scene. As I’m filming with many senior actors I’m a bit nervous, but excited at the same time, and I guess there are many things that I can learn from them,” he said. “I will work hard on the rest of the scenes!”

The new series tells the story of the robot who stands in for a comatose man and falls in love with a character played by actress Gong Seung-yeon, the man’s bodyguard.

The TV drama airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 10 p.m.

TV personality Jun Hyun-moo and the cast of SBS reality show “Romance Package” communicated with fans in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Wednesday.

In the show, the participants develops romantic relationships with each other during a vacation that lasts four days and three nights. They all stay at the same hotel and are called by their room numbers instead of their names.

In Wednesday’s broadcast, Jun brought up the topic that he had requested a cosmetic surgery quote from Room 102, who is a plastic surgeon.

“When I asked for the quote for my face, he suggested astronomical figures,” Jun said. “So I even said ‘Get out’ in the middle (of the filming).”

“Right, I was so surprised during the interview because he suddenly got so angry and shouted ‘Get out!’” Room 102 said. “I was serious while answering your question.”

“But don’t plastic surgery centers like this kind of face?” Jun asked.

“Right it’s a very good face because you can make drastic change at a small cost,” Room 102 said.

When asked to suggest a plastic surgery option, the surgeon suggested Jun get a Botox injection to his forehead.
