Lee Na-young "I have no experience of 'traveling alone'... I go well with Won Bin and my son"

"Doesn't it seem like I'll just stay at home? Haha. I go here and there with my husband and son. I go abroad and also in Korea. I like to travel."

Lee Na-young, who returned after 4 years with the original wave drama 'Park Ha-kyung's Travels', cheerfully denied 'unintentional mysticism'. 'Park Ha-kyung's travel diary' is a work that contains the travel story of Park Ha-kyung, a Korean teacher, who goes on a Saturday just for one day when she wants to disappear. 'Top star' Lee Na-young, who hadn't had a new film for four years, chose 'Park Ha-kyung's travelogue', which has small charms, rather than 'masterpiece'. This drama is also the first OTT work.

"That's my taste. I liked the freshness and lightness, and I thought the composition was well-organized. The mid-form content (about 25 minutes or less) also touched me. I thought it fit well with the times. The material is comfortable, so a variety of people can sympathize. I wondered if it wouldn't. It's a perfect work for me. There's nothing special about OTT that I paid more attention to. OTT and the media environment have changed a lot, and we're getting used to it little by little. Because genres and materials have diversified, I've broadened my scope within the work. I also have a feeling. I think I just move forward by simply watching the scenario. I'm a bit simple. Haha."

This work is not stimulatingly dramatic, but instead provides healing to viewers with everyday and ordinary stories. Park Ha-kyung's travelogue, where she puts down the worries and worries of her tiring daily life and travels to the place where she travels to experience special relationships and coincidences, has a gentle charm.

“When I first saw the scenario, I thought that there would be nothing to do. That's what I want to do. It's time to shoot the comic genre. It's more fun to come out of the atmosphere and breathing with the other actor on the set rather than preparing. I was rather nervous because I didn't have any emotions to prepare. It's a work. I wanted the viewers to feel the 'strange blankness' of our work. I wanted viewers to feel the atmosphere of this work itself, even if they didn't relate to Park Ha-kyung."

In 'Park Ha-kyung's Travels', Lee Na-young's tear scene was originally two scenes, but Lee Na-young said that tears kept coming out. It was a 'normal' story, so I was more immersed.

“I didn’t know why I cried so much during filming. I held back tears. After filming, I thought about this character without ‘boundaries’. There are times when I feel it. Usually, I put up with it, but I think I sympathized with Park Ha-kyung because there are no boundaries. I often refer to 'Park Ha-kyung's Travels' as 'a story about people.' I think I felt it."

Lee Na-young has never traveled alone, but she usually travels well with her family. Mysticism still follows Lee Na-young because she doesn't often work on unrealistic visuals like 'mannequins'.

"You don't recognize me. I don't even wear clothes that stand out. I wear flat clothes like sweatshirts. I stand out more than anyone else. You don't even know I'm next to you. Even if you go to a rest area, you won't recognize me. Haha."

Husband Won Bin, who has not been active in acting for 13 years, is also the reason why Lee Na-young's mystical image is multiplied. Whenever she returns, Lee Na-young, who is asked about Won Bin's current situation, bursts into laughter, saying, "He keeps doing that to me."

"It's similar. He's watching hard too. I'm interested in (a work). He gets jealous when he sees a good movie. Why do you keep asking me questions…. They'll come out. Please wait a little longer."

Lee Na-young has a long term between works. “It seems that each person has their own breathing. It’s because it takes time to decide on something and act on it. There are a lot of genres and it's open to all characters. I'll try. Haha."
