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!

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.
