Jung So Min recently opened up about her experience playing a teenage character in the new tvN drama 'Love Next Door'.

At the press conference on August 14 at the Ramada Hotel in Sin-dorim, Seoul, Jung So Min shared her thoughts on donning a high school uniform again. Despite her initial hesitation, she approached the role with a positive attitude.

"I thought I’d never wear a school uniform again," said Jung So Min, now 35. "Every time I put one on, I told myself it would be the last time. I didn't expect to wear it again for this drama, so I was quite worried."

She added, "Filming was enjoyable because it let me act with a different energy from my usual roles. But I have to admit, it was a bit embarrassing. I really think this will be the last time I play a teenager," she laughed.

Jung Hae In, her co-star, had a different take. "I hope it’s not the last time," he said. "Initially, I was nervous about wearing the uniform, but it made me feel like a fresh-faced teenager again and brought back a lot of memories. I ended up enjoying the experience more than I expected."

'Love Next Door' is a romance drama that follows Bae Seok Ryu (played by Jung So Min) as she joins a global company and reunites with her childhood friend, Choi Seung Hyo (played by Jung Hae In).

The show explores their rekindled relationship and promises both laughter and heartfelt moments.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
