Actor Uhm Jung-hwa expressed his gratitude to Lee Hyo-ri.
On the 1st, I had an interview with actor Uhm Jung-hwa at the building of Saram Entertainment located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at the end of the JTBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook'.
'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook', which ended on the 4th, is a work that contains the story of Cha Jeong-suk's life, from being a housewife for 20 years to becoming a resident for 1 year. Uhm Jung-hwa, who played Cha Jeong-sook, said, "It was an amazing experience to be called by the name of a character wherever I go these days. They welcomed me more and treated me in a friendly way. It seems that Cha Jeong-suk has become a character in my life."
Uhm Jung-hwa is currently appearing on the tvN variety show 'Dance Singer's Wandering Troupe' with Kim Wan-seon, Lee Hyo-ri, Boa, and Hwasa. He said, "The first stage was 'The Rose of Betrayal', but it's been a while since we did it, so I couldn't even think of the choreography. During rehearsal with Hyori and I, I was extremely nervous. After rehearsing, the second stage was strangely familiar. In the rehearsal, the choreography doesn't memorize arbitrarily. I lost and practiced a lot,” he said.
He also expressed his gratitude to Hyori Lee. Uhm Jung-hwa said, "I'm really grateful for the existence of Lee Hyo-ri. I hope that each other goes well. Because I want to gain great popularity again," and expressed affection, saying, "There is no one like Hyori."
As a singer, he is also preparing an album. Uhm Jung-hwa said, "I've been doing this for several years. I wonder if I can release it within this year or next year." The song I want is the best," he laughed.
Uhm Jung-hwa, 55 years old this year and 32 years since his debut. He did not lose his confidence, saying, "You know my age when my age is listed in front of the article. There are times when I wonder if my age is ridiculous. Even so, I am proud of my age. I can do this at my age." He smiled brightly, saying that his current happiness index was '99.9%'.
"I think I've been doing well as Uhm Jung-hwa so far. I don't know what modifiers will be added in the future, but I think I can move forward as long as the passion I have now doesn't cool down."
