Actress Kim Hye-soo, who confessed her concerns about retirement, revealed her affection for Song Yoon-ah. The two people, who had known each other for about 10 years, had a strong bond in the name of friendship.
Kim Hye-soo revealed in front of her close friend Song Yoon-ah that she learned a lot through the drama 'Shroop'. He said, "It was an incredibly difficult process. The filming and production period were 9 months, and I didn't see anything during that time. I couldn't even remember my close friend's face, and all I saw was the script. It was so hard. The best thing after it was over was looking at the script tonight. “I didn’t have to stay up all night,” he said.
He continued, "I have no intention of living for a long time. I feel like I traded three years of my life for 'Shroop'. I don't regret doing that. I did everything I could at that moment. In fact, I was very lonely and difficult. Funny story, Although it was harsh, I also thought, 'I have to stop now.' Let's stop now. It's really too hard like this. Even when I thought about stopping, I was like, 'That's Kim Hye-soo, so she does that.' I don't think it's cold or harsh, so to speak. Of course, but I was lonely. “He added.
The reason Kim Hye-soo was able to honestly tell her story in front of Song Yun-ah was none other than the relationship. The two became acquainted thanks to an entertainment program about 10 years ago. Currently, it is through ‘How to eat well and live well – Have you eaten? (hereinafter referred to as ‘Have you eaten’)’ by PD Park Hye-ryeong, who runs the YouTube channel ‘by PDC PDC’. Kim Hye-soo, Song Yoon-ah, Yoo Seon, Lee Tae-ran, Han Go-eun, and Kim Min-jung appeared in 'Did You Eat?'
Kim Hye-soo said, "It's been almost 10 years since we've known each other. It's been 9 years. We have a meeting. We met separately on Hyeryeong PD's first entertainment program, and at the end of the year, we said 'Kimjang'. “We met because of ‘Project.’ That was the first time I met Song Yoon-ah, who is truly a celebrity, but a human being,” he said.
In fact, Kim Hye-soo has never been personally close to her colleagues. But Song Yun-ah was different. Kim Hye-soo expressed her affection, saying, "Yoona always provided space, food, and an atmosphere where many people could talk comfortably. That became a bigger part of my life." Song Yoon-ah explained, "The person who started and continued the meeting was my sister. After the recording was over, my sister had to leave to deliver kimchi, so she gathered all our contact information."
According to Kim Hye-soo, she may have started it, but it was Song Yun-ah who hosted the meeting, created it, and maintained it. Yoo Seon said, “This is the 10th year of our relationship♡ The last 10 years started with Hyesu and continued with Yoona’s sincerity.” Tae-ran Lee also added his strength, saying, “Thanks to Hyesu and Yoona who led the meeting, we have been meeting for 10 years already. I look forward to meeting you in the future and am happy thanks to you.”
