As the female lead for the movie “Going Out” which breaks the record as the Korean movie with the highest export price for the Japanese market, Son Yejin’s openness and forthrightness in her interview left a deep impression with the Japanese fans.
On 2nd March, Japanese paper, Nikkan Sports featured Son Yejin as the main star in Part 8 of its interview series of Korean Wave stars, and the article focused on “Everything about Son Yejin”.
This series started off with Bae Yong Joon as the subject of interview, and this was the first time an actress was featured in this series.
Son Yejin stars with Bae Yong Joon in “Going Out” and this has aroused the interest of the Japanese fans,
therefore Nikkan Sports carried out an in-depth interview with her in Korea.
During the interview, when Son Yejin spoke about her impression of Bae Yong Joon, saying “I also did a commercial with Yong Joon-ssi back in 2003 and at that time, I thought he was a very strong man.
But when I met him again because of this movie, I’ve come to realize that his speech and mannerism are very gentle. He’s humble, considerate and pays attention to details.”
We say, ‘Let’s work hard on this together!’ to each other, so as to motivate and encourage each other. We both are very dedicated and focused on the filming.”
“All along, I’ve always liked stories about how two people meet and come to fall in love in a very pure, innocent and unknowing manner. The story of ‘Going Out’ falls within a certain specified time and space, the intricate and wonderful love that develops between a man and a woman, who both have their respective families, this is all very intriguing to me.”
The Queen of Melodramatic Films does indeed love melodramatic movies.
Son Yejin was also very open and frank in sharing her story when she first started out in the show business.
“I was still considered a newcomer up to the time I was in my third year of college. At that time, I faced a lot of difficulty and hardship trying to correct my local accent. As for now, I exercise and work out both for health and also to maintain my figure.”
“As an actress, I still lack confidence. The more I go through and experience, the more discomfort and insecurity I face.”
The modest Son Yejin evaluated her herself as such.
“Because of filming work, I often have to work late and this means I’m not home much. My ideal choice of a man would be someone who can be understanding to the extent that he can understand my work and erratic schedule.”
