On October 8, Kim Ji-eun sat down for an interview at HB Entertainment headquarters in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, discussing tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Love Next Door.”
In the drama, Kim Ji-eun played the passionate 119 paramedic Jeong Mo-eum. It realistically portrayed her friendships with childhood friends Bae Seok-ryu (played by Jung So-min) and Choi Seung-hyo (played by Jung Hae-in), and her bittersweet romance with Kang Dan- ho (played by Yoon Ji-on). ). His detailed emotional expressions and strong acting skills significantly improved the quality of the show.
The actors’ friendship resulted in a chemistry that resonated with viewers. The bond between Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min was so strong that dating rumors even surfaced. Kim Ji-eun spoke about the rumors: “When I heard some dating rumors, I thought, “Hey.”“
He explained: “Jung Hae-in is kind and thoughtful to everyone, while Jung So-min responds with lively energy. Their chemistry was fantastic and I think the viewers saw how well they got along. I immediately realized that it wasn’t true. The rumors probably started because their on-screen chemistry was so intense.“
As for why he didn’t face similar rumors with Yoon Ji-on, he said, “Yoon Ji-on is quiet and reserved, even more so than his character Kang Dan-ho. It only opens when it is very close to someone. He’s not the type to show affection to everyone. I noticed his kind side and tried to bring it out, but I guess others didn’t see it as much. He’s incredibly thoughtful, though. He knew I was filming a historical drama and even gave me some vitamins.“
