In the first episode of tvN’s “Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born,” which aired on October 7, Kim Tae-ri, Jung Eun-chae and Shin Ye-eun demonstrated their splendid acting skills.
Kim Tae-ri said of her role as Yoon Jeong-nyeon, “Jeong-nyeon is a person who sells fish at Mokpo Market and then, believing in the talent of his singer, goes to Seoul and joins the National Changgeuk Company of Korea with the desire to make money.”
“Jeong-nyeon is someone I consider honest and straightforward. If he wants to run into someone, he has to run into someone right away,” Kim said. “It always causes accidents and accidents and draws people around it. I felt that the writing of the original webtoon draws her based on the motif of my role as Sook-hee in “The Handmaiden” I think that’s why I was able to sync well with the webtoon. I felt the synchronicity was very high.
Regarding the role of Moon Ok-kyung played by Jung Eun-chae, Shin Ye-eun said: “Everyone who watches ‘Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born’ will be fascinated by Moon Ok-kyung. She became the prince herself.
Producer Jeong Ji-in said: “Eun-chae was an actress who I always thought was very beautiful, but when I suggested the role to her she was a little surprised. It was the first time he had a role with such an image. She said she thought she would play the role of Hye-rang. When he first tried on the suit, he had to cut his hair gradually and it was so beautiful to see. We all called her prince.”
“On the day of the reading, Jung Eun-chae appeared in a short cut and a T-shirt and we said, ‘Enough. We have our prince’” co-star Ra Mi-ran shared.
Jung Eun-chae said, “At first I really wanted to escape. It was because I wasn’t used to the situation and I was very embarrassed, but I think it helped me act. I guess I really was a prince. I was called a prince and I think I had to behave accordingly. For more than six months I continued to wear men’s clothes, including the preparation process. It’s the same off stage.
In particular, Shin Ye-eun explained about her role as Heo Young-seo, “I think Young-seo is a perfectionist who wants to be perfect. I think Young-seo is a child who doesn’t want to show any flaws to anyone. I think she’s a little girl who wants to be considered a person respected by everyone.”
Shin Ye-eun expressed her affection, saying: “I’m not perfect, but as a person who wants to be, I’m a little similar to Young-seo. Even if I don’t do well, I think I have the same tenacity and the same passion to give it my all.”
