Song Ha-yoon filmed with ‘no makeup’

Actress Song Ha-yoon said she felt pressured about playing the character ‘Youngsimi’.

On the afternoon of the 15th, a production presentation for Genie TV's original 'Oh! Youngsimi' was held at the Ramada Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul. An online live broadcast was also conducted. Actors Song Ha-yoon, Lee Dong-hae, Lee Min-jae, Jung Woo-yeon, and MC Eun-hyuk attended.

'oh! 'Youngsimi' is a bickering romantic comedy drama about Yeongsim (played by Song Ha-yoon) and Gyeong-tae (played by Lee Dong-hae), who meet again after 20 years, going from childhood friends to adults. A realistic, relatable story has been added to the emotions of the original cartoon movie 'Youngsimi'.

On this day, Song Ha-yoon explained, "This is the 'Youngsim' we knew when we were young. It depicts how Youngsim lives 20 years later. She is still a lively character."

Since the original ‘Youngsimi’ itself was a cartoon that received a lot of love, the burden must have been great. Song Ha-yoon said, “I felt burdened and under a lot of pressure,” and added, “I filmed with almost no makeup on. I had dark circles and thin hair. I can’t do the same thing as Yeongsim, but I can feel the nostalgia for the Yeongsim in our memories.” “I tried my best to make it happen,” he said.

'oh! ‘Youngsimi’ will be released for the first time on the 15th at 10 PM on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, ENA, and TVING.
