The play 'rental apartments' is the story of the youth themselves. A work that depicts the growth of half-cooked youth who live in rental apartments and struggle to achieve their dreams.
Jay is starting another period of growth by moving into 'rental apartments'. Like that, it's youth again.
"There's something the officials are saying. 'The friends who used to be idols have grit. They said it's good to hang in there and do your best. I think it's just right to say that you have grit."
As they say, Jae is gritty and snug. an appearance that is contrary to the appearance of beauty and softness. It's been 10 years from trainee life to girl group Fiesta activities, and I nod when I think about the fact that I sprinted forward over those years. It also resembles the role of Yoon Jeong-hyun in the 'rental apartment' played by Jay in that he is able to withstand difficult situations strongly.
"I spent more than 10 hours a day in the practice room. When I went to the dorm afterwards, the t-shirt I wore had salt on it. It was fun to shake it off and the salt powder (laughs)."
This same enthusiasm is burning again. There were times when the team Fiesta, which was active, was disbanded and burnout came, but as I started studying acting properly, I learned the happiness of being on the stage of the play. Jay "I was the one who really loved this! I felt it."
"I spent nearly 10 years in my 20s working as a girl group. Of course, he was loved a lot and made his name known, but as the team was disbanded, I felt a sense of futility and even a burnout came."
"I stopped my activities, went back to school and started studying acting. As I went to graduate school, I started teaching assistant and participated in a small performance at an on-campus theater company. It was my first time doing a play, and I was really happy. I had to practice almost every day and it would have been hard, but this was so happy that 'Wow, I was the one who really loved this!I've learned again that "

"In the past, I actually wanted to be famous, and I wanted to be successful. I was in a hurry, and I think the surrounding environment could have been pressure on me. Now I think I think I'm working in a posture of 'What can I do in a meaningful way?' You're a little relaxed, right?"
has been seeing Fiesta members often these days with the same mind. He said he will naturally talk about the comeback as a whole.
"Everyone is working hard in their own places. Sometimes we meet and talk about that time and reminisce, but I hope we can all say hello together soon."
