The actors of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Twenty Five Twenty One" expressed their feelings about the ending.

Kim Tae Ri, who plays Na Hee Do, told the production team on April 3, "I've been running hard for 7 months. I don’t think I will ever forget ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’ for the rest of my life”, she said.

Then continued, “Hee Do, It was an honor to meet such a wonderful person like you. It was nice to meet you”, she said, adding a special greeting to Na Hee Do. Kim Tae Ri said, "When the two of us are together, let's be happy for a moment without anyone knowing. This is a secret between the two of us”.

She recalled, “It was a perfect scene where everything harmonized”, referring to the ending of episode 2, where Na Hee Do offered comfort in a refreshing and pure way.

Nam Joo Hyuk, who plays Baek Yi Jin, recalled the times he did his best, saying, “I worked hard for 7 months and all the actors and staff had fun filming together, so time seems to have passed”.

Nam Joo Hyuk, who left a thank-you note, said, “To all viewers, thank you very much for watching 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. Whether it's a calm sea or rough waves, the youth who are there seems to resemble us".

Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), who plays Ko Yu Rim, said, "It feels like yesterday that I had been preparing and filming for a long time, but I feel very regretful that it has already ended. "

She added, "For the past 7 months, I was grateful that I was Yurim and that I was able to be with 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. It was a precious time to learn, feel, and think a lot while working with great works and good people”.

She continued, “It was an honor to be with the writers, directors, all the staff, and the seniors who guided me well, and I was really grateful. Thank you so much to everyone who has been watching and giving so much love”.

Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), who chose the diving scene of Ko Yu Rim as the famous scene in episode 8, said, “It seems to be the most memorable and attached new scene. Before filming, I was worried about whether I would be able to do well, and this is a scene I worked hard on filming for a long time."

She added, " In particular, it is a scene that still leaves a lot of lingering impressions, as I remember being hurt by Yurim’s emotions, who had no choice but to jump off the diving board”.

Choi Hyun Wook, who plays Moon Ji Woong, said, "I'm really sorry that it's over now. It was an honor to be with 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. Thank you to everyone who has loved 'Twenty Five Twenty One'."

In addition, Choi Hyun Wook, who picked the school trip and the cushion thief scene as the best scenes, said, “We talked a lot together at the set to see how to make it more fun. The school trip scene became a real memory, and I think the cushion thief scene came out ridiculously well. It's a personally satisfying scene".

Lee Joo Myung as Ji Seung Wan said, "It's not easy to let Seung Wan go yet. I thought a lot to play Seungwan, but as much as I thought about it, the characters and dramas were loved a lot, so I think it will remain in my memory for a long time”.

She added, “The good writer and two directors who allowed me to participate in the work ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’. It was an honor to be with you, and I want to say thank you to the seniors who acted when we cried and laughed together. When you want to feel the depth of youth, you will often listen to dramas as if you were opening a graduation album. We sincerely thank the viewers who loved and cared for our drama and each of our characters”.

Lee Joo Myung, who chose the best scene in episode 12 of the conversation with her mother
(in the series), which made even viewers cry, said, “It is memorable because it is a heartbreaking scene that showed that Seung Wan, who only seemed mature and strong, is also a soft and young friend. It felt good to show you the emotions that everyone must have felt or want to feel”.

The production company Hwa & Dam Pictures also said, “Thanks to all the actors who appeared and the staff who filmed, including Kim Tae Ri, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), Choi Hyun Wook, Lee Joo Myung, etc. I would like to convey to you” and “I would like to thank the viewers once again for being with ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’, which wanted to portray the brilliant moment of youth. Please watch the last broadcast of 'Twenty Five Twenty One'".

Episode 16 (final episode) will be broadcast on April 3rd (today) at 9:10 PM.

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
