Ahn Eun-jin (33) from “Fresh off the Sea” and Go Min-si (29) from “Jinny’s Kitchen 2” both captured viewers’ attention with their striking charms.
The rules of variety are simple: authentic charm, showing your true self, and the magic of PD editing and production. Above all, the innate charm of the person is key. It is this very quality that has made viewers respond to these actresses in ways they never had before, even through their previous work in dramas and films.
Ahn Eun-jin: The Star Loved Everywhere
“It’s so adorable that I never worry about how it will fit in somewhere.“, actress Kim Go-eun said in an interview, referring to her close friend Ahn Eun-jin, a fellow graduate of the Korean National University of Arts. The two, who used to ride the same bus to school every day, are known to be longtime friends.
Ahn Eun-jin’s first regular appearance on tvN’s variety show “Fresh off the Sea” cemented this reputation. In this show, Ahn Eun-jin and her co-stars Yeom Jung-ah, Park Joon-myun, and Dex travel across South Korea, staying for two nights and three days in different regions and participating in the specialized local production process.
This show allowed viewers to see the lovable and genuine side of Ahn Eun-jin, far removed from the more serious characters she played in dramas like “Hospital Playlist” and “The Good Bad Mother.” Her boundless energy and sincere reactions made her a mood maker on set, while her competitive spirit shines through in the show’s games.
Her co-star Yeom Jung-ah praised her, saying, “Eun-jin is so lively and fun. She’s just my type of person..”
With Ahn Eun-jin at the center of the cast’s chemistry, “Fresh off the Sea” consistently ranked first in its time slot for nine weeks, reaching a peak rating of 6.2%.
Go Min-si: The Icon of Stagecoach
Known for her “softie” personality on variety shows and fierce characters in dramas, Go Min-si is currently enjoying her time in the spotlight. In “Jinny’s Kitchen 2,” she took on the role of an intern, showing her hardworking nature and ability to handle anything thrown at her, often reminding viewers of real-life young professionals.
Go Min-si’s past experiences, including working as a wedding planner and at a barbecue restaurant, have shaped her hardworking and responsible personality, traits that are evident in “Jinny’s Kitchen 2.” Even Na Young-seok, the show’s PD, noted how well she fit into the team culture despite being a celebrity.
However, Go Min-si’s other side was showcased in the recently released Netflix drama “The Frog,” where she played an unparalleled psychopath. Actress Kim Hye-soo, who worked with Go Min-si in the film “Smugglers,” praised her, saying, “His time has come.”
