The YouTube channel 'Vogue Korea' released a video titled 'Why Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Jang Wonyoung Gathered at Vogue Korea?' featuring the encounter.
In the video, Jang Wonyoung interviews Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, who visited Korea ahead of the release of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'.
Jang introduced herself in fluent English, expressing her honor to represent Korea, to which Anne Hathaway responded by complimenting her beautiful speech. Hathaway also noted that Jang's outfit reminded her of her character 'Andy Sachs' from the film and expressed gratitude for Jang's effort to conduct the interview in English, despite it not being her native language.
During the interview, both actresses were impressed by Jang's photos and styling. Anne Hathaway repeatedly expressed amazement at Jang's beauty, while Meryl Streep affectionately compared her to a flower.
Jang revealed she has been a long-time fan of the film and shared an anecdote about being inspired by the constantly changing outfits in the movie's commuting scenes, which brought smiles to the actresses' faces. She also lightened the mood by reenacting Miranda's iconic line, "That's all."
Jang's age became a topic of interest during the cross-generational conversation. When she mentioned being born in 2004 and only two years old when the first film was released in 2006, both Hathaway and Streep were astonished by her youth.
Jang added depth to the interview by discussing how the film influenced her passion for fashion and personal growth from a young age. The interview concluded warmly, with both actresses complimenting Jang's beautiful autograph.
Meanwhile, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', featuring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway reuniting after 20 years, is set to hit theaters on the 29th.
