Actress Shin Ye Eun recently shared her thoughts on working with Kim Tae Ri and reflected on her role in Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born in a new feature with Cosmopolitan’s November issue.

In the tvN drama Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born, Shin Ye Eun plays Heo Yeong Seo, a rival in the Maeran Theater Troupe to Kim Tae Ri's character, Jeongnyeon.

In her photoshoot, Shin Ye Eun embodied themes of Korean tradition, blending elegance with a refined look that captivated the staff on set.

Shin Ye Eun opened up about her character, saying, “I’m a lot like Yeong Seo in how methodical and determined I am.” Reflecting on her school years, she shared how competitive her time at Anyang Arts High School was, explaining, “We were constantly competing for roles and rankings. It wasn’t something I found hard; I just pushed forward with a strong mindset.”

She credits her friend and co-star Woo Da Bi for reminding her of her younger self, which helped her feel connected to Yeong Seo’s ambition.

To embody her character's male roles in the drama, Shin Ye Eun focused on changing her body language and voice. “When I talked with (Kim) Tae Ri, we agreed acting is all about ‘energy.’ I realized if I was confident, I could come across as masculine even without the costume,” she said, sharing that she practiced walking with a broad stance and even wore baggy clothes to fully adapt.

Shin Ye Eun also praised Kim Tae Ri, saying, “I can see why she’s so successful, and I truly respect her. Sometimes, I find myself wondering, ‘How would she approach this?’” She expressed gratitude for their close bond and mutual support throughout filming.

As she looks forward to her next steps, Shin Ye Eun reflected on her growth as an actress. She explained, “The best actors are often the ones just starting because they have no fear. I’ve moved past that stage, but I still strive to bring my own style to my roles.”

With Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born, she hopes her dedication will resonate with viewers as they see her full performance come to life.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
