Ye Ji-won will appear with Oh Yoon-ah and Lee Soo-kyung on the TV CHOSUN new entertainment show 『Open Love』 that will premiere on the 20th (Tue) and search for fateful love. Ye Ji-won, who was always like the youngest, said, "I wanted to be a support for my younger brothers to lean on," feeling heartbroken by the way Oh Yoon-ah, who was always like the youngest, became an adult, and said that she was constantly laughing because of Lee Soo-kyung.
At first, Ye Ji-won, who said she was questioned why she was cast when she had many young and pretty friends, said she appeared with a meaning to meet people rather than grandly 'blinding'. After going through their curious 20s, 30s, and 40s, when they realized the difference between men and women, they now have the ability to talk about love stories and rumors around them as if they were their own, and Ye Ji-won's search for real love unfolds through 「The Actress's Private Life」. The following is the question and answer with Ye Ji-won.
Q. I heard that Ye Ji-won, Oh Yoon-ah, and Lee Soo-kyung have been real friends for 20 years. How are the three of you?
- Yoona met for the first time during 'Old Miss Diary' and we've been seeing each other for more than 20 years. He's very deep inside and he's very mature, so sometimes I call him 'unnie' and play around with him. Since we're so close, we sometimes meet and talk about ourselves and break up, but it's amazing that we can talk, and we're really comfortable like family. Su-kyung is sad and takes good care of people. 'But why didn't I get married?He's such a lovely friend that I wonder '.
Q. Why did you decide to appear on "The Actress's Private Life"?
- At first, 'Can we really do it? There are so many young and pretty friends... Why didn't you cast them?I also heard the question '. But the concept of the program itself is 'Encounter' with strangers. At our age, it was more meaningful to meet people than to grandly 'blind date', and I thought it would be an opportunity to meet a good person, so I came on the show. And another thing, I wanted to watch 'I' as it flowed in front of the feeling of 'Excited'.
Q. What was your first impression and feeling when you first met the male cast members?
- When I was cooking, a man came in, so I had a mental breakdown. I have to cook, I have to take care of him... It was just a panic. 'Why did this happen to me?I thought ', and I felt sorry for the man, so I really wanted to run away. Even 'Shall we call a friend and let him sit down instead?I was so distracted that I even thought '
Q. How was your date in the rural Yecheon area of North Gyeongsang Province? What's your most memorable date?
- I think I spent the whole time feeling like I was traveling because I was in the countryside. I felt like my head was emptying out due to the green view. The most memorable thing was that I was just sitting there with him on the swing in the yard doing nothing. Even though we didn't talk much, the situation at that time is very memorable.
Q. Actresses of 20 years, do you have any new acquaintances or memorable episodes about each other this time?
- Yoona has always felt like the youngest to me. I saw them when I was very young, so I remember staying there. But while doing it together this time, I felt like Yoona was my guardian. It's the same when I served breakfast, and there are things that I got on my body because I'm a mom. My younger brother, who was like a baby to me all his life, seems to have become an adult, and there are so many things I'm good at, so I was touched. Su-kyung was so cute when she was mumbling to herself. It was a time when I laughed a lot because of you.
Q. What was your role within this program or among the female cast members?
- As an older sister and a guardian, I wanted to make my life comfortable. I wanted to be such a support that I could give my shoulder when I needed someone to lean on, so that I could think like a friend without having a hard time, but I don't know if I did the job well.
Q. What has changed between dating in your 20s and now?
- In my 20s, it was a time to wake up to reason, and I think I had high expectations for people. From my late 20s to early 30s, I recognized that men and women are very different. As I have seen many acquaintances who are dating and married around me throughout my 40s, I have the knowledge of dating and the ability to chat tremendously as if it were my own. Right now, dating is important for each person's ideal type and appearance, and I think above all, personality and taste should be the same as friends. Just as people have to work together to do well, I think it's most important that men and women work well together.
Q. Lastly, please tell us the charm of this program and why viewers must watch it.
- Since I'm old, I think I'm still young, but I also have maturity. Meeting people of this age, excitement in it! I think the point of this is that you can think about it with many possibilities open. There was a connection of reason, but there was more than that, and it seems that our own view of love and marriage was formed.
