Yoo Jae-seok and Jeon Do-yeon, speaking informally again
Jeon Do-yeon appeared as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 29th.
Yoo Jae-seok and Jeon Do-yeon are classmates in the class of '91 at Seoul Institute of the Arts. Yoo Jae-seok greeted Jeon Do-yeon with a joke, saying, “You’re as tough as ever.” Jeon Do-yeon wittily responded, “Well, we’re not that close.”
Yoo Jae-seok said, "This is my first broadcast with Jeon Do-yeon. The awards ceremony two years ago was also the first time we met in 10 years." Jeon Do-yeon said, "Were we really close? 10 years ago, I felt close to Yoo Jae-suk, but now there seems to be some distance and discomfort. I felt burdened because people misunderstood that I was close," making people laugh.
Yoo Jae-seok brought up his memories of Jeon Do-yeon during his college days. Yoo Jae-seok said, "Jeon Do-yeon seemed like she was going to be an actress. She had that vibe." Yoo Jae-seok also said, "She sat next to me during orientation. Jeon Do-yeon was popular when she was in school. Several of her friends made a face at Jeon Do-yeon and then kicked her out loud." He said, "At that time, we were just casually talking. 'Jaeseok~' was the first thing I said. When Jeon Do-yeon was eating tteokbokki, she took it away from me. Don't you like tteokbokki?" When Jo Se-ho asked if there was anything she remembered about Yoo Jae-seok, Jeon Do-yeon made everyone laugh by saying, "Hanryang? There's an ant and a grasshopper, right? I thought he was a grasshopper."
The relationship between Yoo Jae-seok and Jeon Do-yeon continued to their children. Jeon Do-yeon said, "My daughter is now 15 years old. She went to kindergarten with Yoo Jae-seok's child." Yoo Jae-seok said, “Na Kyung-eun said she saw it at the supermarket.” Jeon Do-yeon said, “I saw it once in kindergarten.”
Jeon Do-yeon has appeared in numerous masterpieces. Regarding 'Happy End', which became a hot topic for its unconventional exposure, Jeon Do-yeon aroused admiration by saying, "At the time, it was said that it was divided into movies with and without Han Suk-kyu. It was a work I chose because I wanted to show that I can be myself." At the same time, she aroused admiration by saying, "My dream was to be a wise mother and a good wife. At the time, my mother cried, asking what would happen if I couldn't get married. At that time, I told my mother that I became an actress so that I could get married well."
However, there were difficulties, such as advertisements being cut off. Jeon Do-yeon confessed, "It was a pure choice when I filmed it, but all the commercials I did at that time ended. I didn't really know why that was the case. I found out after it was finished. I think I knew then what kind of image I wanted from an actress." He also said, "It was a wound, but it made me stronger. I thought no one could point a finger at me," and "'Happy End' is a work in which an actress actively did something, and I did my job as an actor. The more people say, the more “I was confident,” he said.
The Netflix movie ‘Gil Bok-soon’ starring Jeon Do-yeon will also be released. Jeon Do-yeon said, "Last year was a bit difficult. I got hurt a lot while doing 'Gil Bok-soon'. Then, I wondered why I lived without knowing myself. I started to be grateful and look back at myself." He then confessed, "I was a person who was constantly moving. It was uncomfortable to stay still. I didn't take breaks for granted, but I tried it and it was good. I'm letting it go little by little."
Jeon Do-yeon and Yoo Jae-seok, who were in a somewhat awkward mood, decided to change their nicknames and speak informally to each other. Yoo Jae-seok said, “Doyeon, it was fun. Goodbye.” Jeon Do-yeon made everyone laugh by saying, “Oh, yeah, me too.”
