During an interview held on November 19 at a bar in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul to commemorate the conclusion of JTBC drama “A Virtuous Business,” Yeon Woo-jin revealed his role model.
Yeon Woo-jin shared: “I’ve seen So-yeon senior as a lead in dramas since I was young. Seeing her remain steadfast in her position for a long time, continuing to act in a healthy manner, made a really good impression on me. He still writes the numbers in his writing as if it were a diary. Observing her meticulousness, her dedication, made me feel immense respect, realizing that she is an actress who has endured everything.“
He underlined: “Often in interviews people ask me what my role model is. Now I feel like saying, “My role model is Kim So-yeon.” I’ve come to want to protect my art just like she has, and I’m so grateful for the inspiration she’s given me.”
Yeon Woo-jin expressed his special respect, “The drama touches Seo Taiji, doesn’t it? In my time, Seo Taiji was a significant presence in our lives. There was power in his name. I have lived by trusting in that power, and even though I entered this career as a person who loves culture and the arts, Seo Taiji has always had a place in my heart. Now, another person has entered that space, and that’s Kim So-yeon.“
He added: “Kim So-yeon is truly a great figure. Watching her act brought something alive inside me. The inspiration I once felt listening to Seo Taiji’s music, I now feel through Kim So-yeon.”
Meanwhile, Kim So-yeon married fellow actor Lee Sang-woo in 2017, marking their eighth year of marriage this year. Known as one of the entertainment industry’s model couples, the two starred together in the 2016 MBC drama “Happy Home.”
