Inside the Lives of 'Transit Love 4' Stars: From On-Screen Drama to Real-Life Plans
On the YouTube channel 'I'm Jihyun,' run by 'Transit Love 4' star Park Ji-hyun, a video titled 'Transit Love 4 Jihyun & Yura & Minkyoung Girls' Night Housewarming' was uploaded.
In the video, Park Ji-hyun, fellow cast member Kwak Min-kyung, and panelist Yura gathered to share stories they hadn't been able to discuss before.
Yura, despite her 16-year career in entertainment, expressed her amazement at meeting the cast members in person, saying it felt like meeting celebrities. The conversation naturally shifted to the challenges of dealing with viewer reactions and negative comments.
When Kwak Min-kyung mentioned the harsh comments she received, Yura shared a viewer's complaint about her laughter, which led to her skipping parts of the video. Yura admitted, "It felt like a personal attack, and being told not to laugh hurt more than other criticisms," showing her vulnerability. Park Ji-hyun also addressed misunderstandings about her speaking style, clarifying that it's just her natural way of speaking.
Park Ji-hyun delved into her decision to leave acting behind and pursue a new path. A graduate of the Korea National University of Arts, she appeared in dramas like 'Oh Young-shim' and 'Show Window: The Queen's House.' She recalled, "Quitting acting felt like breaking up with a lover," reflecting on her past struggles. Despite her promising career, the gap between her expectations and reality led to a mental breakdown.
Park Ji-hyun also shared her concrete plans for marriage with Jung Won-kyu, whom she has been receiving much support for since the show. She revealed that she initially planned to marry right after the show ended but had to delay due to changing circumstances. She firmly believes there's no need to postpone marriage if it's with someone you love.
When her colleagues mentioned dreams of a romantic proposal in Paris or Europe, Park Ji-hyun sent a loving message to Jung Won-kyu, saying, "I'll be expecting it." Yura mentioned her changing views on marriage, wanting to marry in her late 30s, while Kwak Min-kyung expressed her desire to start a family before turning 30, keeping the atmosphere light and cheerful.
A humorous incident about wedding plans and promises caught attention. Park Ji-hyun jokingly promised to hold her wedding at Gocheok Sky Dome if her YouTube channel reached 300,000 subscribers, later raising the target to 500,000 amid laughter. Yura advised caution, citing director Jang Hang-jun's experience of having to fulfill a promise of plastic surgery after a film's success, causing laughter among the group. Park Ji-hyun continues to showcase her strong relationship with Jung Won-kyu, sharing wedding hall photos and more.
