Actress Shin Ye Eun expressed deep admiration for her Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born co-star Kim Tae Ri during a recent interview in Seoul. The tvN drama, which aired its finale on the 17th, takes viewers back to post-Korean War 1950s, portraying the fierce competition, camaraderie, and growth of aspiring gukgeuk (Korean traditional opera) actors.

In the series, Shin Ye Eun played Heo Young Seo, an elite member of the Maeran Gukgeuk Troupe. Known for her exceptional talent in singing, dancing, and acting, Young Seo is also burdened by insecurities and the need to constantly prove herself.

During the interview, Shin Ye Eun spoke about working alongside Kim Tae Ri, who starred as Yoon Jeong Nyeon, a naturally gifted vocalist striving to become a gukgeuk star. “She puts in so much effort—there’s no end to her hard work,”

Shin Ye Eun shared. “Even while eating, she’s rehearsing. Watching her, I understood why she’s such an incredible actress. Her courage and determination, which remind me of Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born , are something I truly admire.”

Shin Ye Eun also revealed the close bond she shared with her fellow cast members. “Kim Tae Ri unnie is like a role model to me,” she said. “We had many deep conversations, and I often sought her advice, especially during tough times. On the other hand, I had a playful dynamic with Woo Da Bi—we joked around so much that people called us ‘the fool and the princess.’”

When asked if there was another role she’d love to try, Shin Ye Eun mentioned Moon Ok Kyung, played by Jung Eun Chae. “She looked so cool! I don’t think I could pull off that short haircut with the same charm. Ok Kyung really captured Jung Eun Chae unnie’s unique vibe,” she said.

Shin Ye Eun’s candid reflections on Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born not only highlighted her respect for her co-stars but also gave fans a glimpse into the camaraderie behind the scenes. Fans are excited to see what Shin Ye Eun will bring to the table in her next project!

Cha Eun Woo is making major moves in his career and fans are buzzing about his latest project decisions! On April 3, his agency, Fantagio, confirmed that he will star in the upcoming movie First Ride (working title), marking his first-ever lead role on the big screen.

The agency shared the exciting news, saying, “Cha Eun Woo has confirmed his appearance in First Ride, and we thank everyone for their continued love and support.” Fans are excited about the actor’s new adventure as this will be his first time carrying a film as the main character, after his previous supporting roles in My Brilliant Life and a special appearance in Decibel.

But here's the twist—before landing this role, Cha Eun Woo had been in talks with the Hong Sisters’ new project alongside actress Go Min Si, leaving fans hoping to see him in yet another high-profile drama. Unfortunately, Cha Eun Woo decided not to take part in that project, which left many of his followers feeling disappointed.

Instead, he has chosen First Ride, a story about four friends who turn 30 and go on their first overseas trip together. The film, directed by Nam Dae Jung (The Great Wish, 30 Days), promises to be a fun and emotional ride, and fans are already excited to see Cha Eun Woo in action. There’s even buzz about actor Kang Ha Neul joining the cast, which has added more hype for their first collaboration!

Meanwhile, Cha Eun Woo is also working hard on his Netflix series The Wonderfuls, a supernatural action-comedy set in 1999.

The series follows a group of local misfits who gain superpowers and must fight against a villain threatening their city.

As Cha Eun Woo continues to impress with his acting choices, fans are curious to see how he balances both projects.

Lee Jong Suk, a close friend of Cha Eun Woo, has shown his full support, with many fans reacting to his positive response to the actor's career path.
