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.

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.
