Kim Hye-soo Praises Chemistry with Co-stars Jung Sung-il and Joo Jong-hyuk in Disney+ Series 'Trigger'

Kim Hye-soo expressed her affection for her junior co-stars Jung Sung-il and Joo Jong-hyuk.

On the 21st, the YouTube channel 'PDC by PDC' released a video titled '[Breaking News] Kim Hye-soo, First Time with Male Actors Like This?! (feat. Jung Sung-il, Joo Jong-hyuk)'. The video featured the main cast of Disney+'s 'Trigger', including Kim Hye-soo, Jung Sung-il, and Joo Jong-hyuk.

The actors showcased their teamwork on 'Trigger'. Kim Hye-soo shared, "After filming, our team met up to play games. We ended up staying up all night." Joo Jong-hyuk added, "The sun actually came up. I went straight to filming afterward." Jung Sung-il boasted, "The atmosphere on set was great." Kim Hye-soo commented, "It was a cheerful atmosphere, but we were focused. It was ideal. It wasn't a joking environment; we supported each other to do well together."

Jung Sung-il, born in 1980, played the role of Han Do PD, a character born in 1990, showcasing a 10-year age difference between his real age and his character. Kim Hye-soo proudly stated, "I saw his mature sexiness in 'The Glory', but in our work, you can see his boyish charm." Joo Jong-hyuk joked, "Was he born in 1990 in the drama? That doesn't make sense. I would have spoken informally to him, calling him 'Han Do'." Jung Sung-il, feeling embarrassed, said, "Just let it go," and admitted, "I lowered my age a lot." He revealed, "To match the younger role, I spent 12 hours at the salon testing different looks. I think I tried every hairstyle possible."

Kim Hye-soo praised the chemistry between Jung Sung-il and Joo Jong-hyuk. She said, "Their bromance was so good that people might think they were dating if they were a man and a woman. They giggled like schoolgirls during filming." She humorously added, "I couldn't find a gap to squeeze in." Jung Sung-il explained, "Our desks were next to each other." Kim Hye-soo joked, "I thought I was loved a lot, but I was rejected."

Jung Sung-il and Joo Jong-hyuk refer to Kim Hye-soo as 'noona' (older sister). Born in 1970, Kim Hye-soo is a senior to them. When asked if they call her 'noona', Kim Hye-soo humorously retorted, "What, should they call me mom? Aunt? What!" She laughed, "They are very polite and perceptive, so they call me noona." Jung Sung-il confessed, "I initially struggled with how to address her." Kim Hye-soo joked, "I guess it's because I'm too old. I don't usually think about age, but moments like this make me conscious of it." Jung Sung-il, flustered, said, "That's not it." Joo Jong-hyuk added, "Hyung made a big mistake," to which Jung Sung-il replied, "Didn't you ask me what to call her?" causing laughter.

Kim Hye-soo remarked, "The relationship between seniors and juniors becomes comfortable depending on how juniors treat you. I didn't know this when I was younger. I thought being formal was right. But the more juniors treat you casually, the more comfortable it becomes. I'm grateful to them."

Joo Jong-hyuk shared his first impression of Kim Hye-soo, "I was very nervous before meeting her, thinking she was charismatic, but the next day, all my preconceptions were shattered." Jung Sung-il, as a fan, said, "I was nervous. It was different from meeting other actors. But she complimented me so much that I wondered why, but it was genuine." He added, "She's very consistent and full of love."
