    He continued, "(Song Ji Ah) has a charm that captivates people. We talked little by little while cooking and lighting a fire, but the trembling was different. When I looked at him from the outside, I thought he was just a pretty and flashy person, but when we talked about it, it was different. Doesn't Jia (Song) call herself 'cute and sexy' to meet her. It's really attractive. It made me fall in love."
