Kim Go-eun Reflects on Bond with Jeon Do-yeon and Career Growth

Actress Kim Go-eun recently shared insights into her friendship with fellow actress Jeon Do-yeon.

On the YouTube channel 'BDNS', a video titled 'Waiting for Stir-fried Pork with Kim Go-eun' was released on the 29th.

In the video, Kim Go-eun discussed her reunion with Jeon Do-yeon in the Netflix series 'The Price of Confession', marking their first collaboration in a decade since the film 'Memories of the Sword'. Kim noted, "We've met quite a few times in between, so it didn't feel like a long time."

Reflecting on her early career during 'Memories of the Sword', Kim Go-eun shared, "I was busy trying to embody my character as a rookie. Jeon Do-yeon took care of me from behind the scenes. If I struggled with a scene, she would call the director and ask them to ensure I wasn't overworked, emphasizing my importance as a lead."

Kim expressed her gratitude, saying, "Whenever I called late at night, she would answer worriedly, asking if something was wrong. She helped me a lot." She added, "On set, she never dictated how I should act. Instead, she gave me a reassuring look, showing respect and trust."

Reuniting with Jeon Do-yeon after so long, Kim felt a sense of security, saying, "It felt like she acknowledged my growth. I wanted to take care of her more this time."

Now in her 14th year since debuting, Kim Go-eun reflected, "Being in my 30s, time seems to fly by. I still feel like I'm around 22."

Kim noted the increasing number of younger staff on set, reminiscing, "In the past, during shoots in Incheon, we would stay in rented motels and have fun together. But during a recent wrap party, I felt the staff were trying too hard. I wanted to relax and have fun, but it wasn't the same, which made me sad."

She added, "I used to hear seniors say it's hard to interact with juniors, and I didn't believe it. I thought, 'How could seniors be conscious of juniors?' But now I understand."

Kim Go-eun stars in the upcoming Netflix series 'The Price of Confession', a mystery thriller about Yoon-su, a suspect in her husband's murder, and Mo-eun, a mysterious figure known as a witch. The series is set to premiere on December 5th.
