Actress Jung Eun Hye, who played the role of Young Hee with Down Syndrome in the tvN drama 'Our Blues', said that she felt her popularity.

On June 17th, Jung Eun Hye shared her recent situation and a deep story in her heart in an interview with Sports Dong-a.

In fact, Jung Eun Hye, who has Down syndrome, opened up saying that people's attitudes toward her changed after the drama aired.

Jung Eun Hye shocked me when she shared the discomfort she had experienced in the past, saying, "Before filming the drama, there were people who touched or harassed me when I was riding the train alone. I felt very bad at that time."

However, Jung Eun Hye said, "I'm so happy when I'm with people right now. Everyone says good things to me."

Jung Eun Hye's father and film director Seo Dong-il also emphasized that the perception of Down syndrome has changed a lot after the drama aired.

He added, "Jung Eun Hye is the same as it was before and now. But seeing people's gaze and perception change due to drama, I felt the magical power of culture and art."

Jung Eun Hye plans to convey a deep resonance to the audience through the documentary film 'Your Face' directed by Seo Dong-il.

Director Seo Dong Il is expecting another change through the movie 'Your Face', which will be released on June 23rd. 

He explained, "Films featuring developmentally disabled people always deal with dark and uncomfortable stories. But I wanted to make a bright film. I wanted to introduce an attractive artist, not a person with developmental disabilities."

Director Seo Dong Il also said, "I am very grateful for this situation. I hope that through the film, people with developmental disabilities can move around without anxiety."

On the other hand, Jung Eun Hye also expressed her gratitude, remembering that the actors Han Ji Min and Kim Woo Bin, who worked together in the drama, always took good care of her.

According to Jung Eun Hye, Han Ji Min and Kim Wo Bin praised her on set and always took care of her to keep her from getting cold.

Jung Eun Hye, who thanked Han Ji Min and Kim Woo Bin for even hosting her own birthday party, expressed her affection for Han Ji Min, who first asked for her contact information, saying that she is still exchanging messages every day.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
