• Actress Jang Young Nam Says Goodbye to "Love Next Door" with Heartfelt Gratitude to the Cast and Crew

    Actress Jang Young Nam has shared her thoughts as the tvN weekend drama Love Next Door comes to an end.

    In Love Next Door, Jang Young Nam played Seo Hye Sook, the mother of Choi Seung Hyo (played by Jung Hae In). Her portrayal of a woman who seemed to have it all but was quietly struggling inside earned her a lot of praise from viewers.

    From showing the emotional weight of her character’s loneliness to her gradual transformation, Jang Young Nam's acting touched many hearts.

    One moment that stood out was when her character, faced with a crack in a seemingly unbreakable friendship, tearfully said, "It's not pity, it's friendship." That line struck a chord with many fans, capturing the complexity of Seo Hye Sook's emotions.

    As the drama wrapped up, Jang Young Nam shared her feelings about the end of Love Next Door, saying, "I’m truly thankful to everyone who watched the drama every weekend. I'm so happy and grateful that so many people loved the show and my character, Seo Hye Sook."

    Reflecting on her time working on the drama, she added, "I want to thank the director, the staff, and the writer for creating such a beautiful story. During the hot summer, we spent around six months together, crying and laughing. I’ll never forget the adorable team we built. It really felt like a family, and I’m so grateful for all the hard work everyone put in."

    Though Love Next Door has ended, fans can look forward to seeing Jang Young Nam in her upcoming movie Four O'Clock, set to be released on October 23.
