The Judge from Hell star Kim Jae Young recently opened up about his nerves while filming a kissing scene with Park Shin-hye in the hit SBS drama.

On November 5, Kim Jae Young sat down with Star News in a café in Gangnam, Seoul, to chat about his experience filming Judge from Hell. The action-fantasy series follows the story of Kang Bit-na, a judge possessed by a demon (played by Park Shin Hye), and Da-on Han, a detective (played by Kim Jae Young), as they team up to face criminals in a twisted reality. Kim Jae-young plays Detective Da-on Han, a dedicated cop in the Violent Crimes Division.

Kim Jae Young shared what it was like working with Park Shin Hye, praising her energy and endurance. “Her stamina is really impressive. She keeps her energy steady, and she doesn’t have any ups and downs," he said. "I think I struggled more than her at times, so I tried to keep up. She shot action scenes for hours, but she really seemed to enjoy it."

He also mentioned how much he learned from her in their romantic scenes. “Park Shin Hye is so natural with romantic comedy. Her expressions and gaze are just so charming."

Given that Park Shin Hye is married to actor Choi Tae Joon and has a child, Kim Jae Young admitted he was a bit curious. "I wondered if she might feel a little hesitant, since she has a family. I even thought maybe Choi Tae Joon wouldn’t be too happy about it, but then again, they’re both actors, so maybe he’s used to it.”

When it came to their kissing scene, Kim confessed he was especially anxious. “I was really nervous before the kiss scene," he admitted. "I was stumbling over my words, and Park Shin-hye even asked why I seemed so shaky. It had been a long time since I’d done a kiss scene, so I sort of forgot how. I was so tense I even skipped dinner before filming!"

Kim Jae Young’s honest and funny reflections have added a bit more excitement for fans of The Judge from Hell and his growing career.

ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
