Actress Jeong Eun-ji honestly shared her feelings about '24-Hour Health Club.'
The new KBS 2TV drama '24-Hour Health Club,' scheduled to broadcast for the first time on the 30th (Wednesday) at 9:50 p.m., tells the story of a dedicated bodybuilder, the manager Do Hyun-jung, who dramatically corrects the lives of anxious beginner gym members in a thrilling journey of growth in fitness, known as a comedic romance.
Jeong Eun-ji plays the role of the beginner gym member Lee Mi-ran, who is 'out of shape.' After entering the health club due to a shocking breakup, Mi-ran believes in trainer Do Hyun-jung's (played by Lee Joon-young) promise to help her change her body and life. However, Mi-ran, who was far from exercising, faces unexpected challenges in the workout she started to overcome her breakup.
With expectations rising about how Jeong Eun-ji will portray the character Mi-ran, on the 2nd (today), she shared her feelings and determination ahead of the first broadcast of '24-Hour Health Club.' Jeong Eun-ji mentioned her reason for choosing the project, saying, "I have always liked exercising, and I found the 'fitness growth drama' aspect interesting," adding, "It was attractive to see how life changes positively and healthily through exercise, not just physically."
Jeong Eun-ji spoke about her character, saying, "Mi-ran has a complex about her appearance and thinks she is unlovable because of her chubby body. However, as the story progresses, she realizes that there are more important values. Mi-ran's transformation and growth process is very realistic, and I cheered for her a lot while acting."
Jeong Eun-ji noted, regarding the part she focused on while acting, "In this work, I experienced weight gain and loss for the first time while concentrating on expressing the character. I hope Mi-ran's weight change naturally integrates into the story and is well conveyed to the viewers."
Jeong Eun-ji identified keywords that can express her character as 'Tteokbokki,' 'flour,' and 'Bibimbap,' adding, "Mi-ran, who loves Tteokbokki and flour, receives love in return from food. There is a particularly enjoyable scene where she eats Bibimbap deliciously, which I personally love."
Jeong Eun-ji shared her thoughts on acting alongside Lee Joon-young, saying, "Lee Joon-young was really energetic on set. Thanks to that, I gained a lot of strength during filming, and he was a great partner. I was a bit nervous acting with my younger co-star for the first time, but he confidently lead the scene, which made me feel secure and helped create good chemistry naturally." This is why the upcoming broadcast featuring popular actors is highly anticipated.
Jeong Eun-ji expressed her opinion, saying, "I think '24-Hour Health Club' is a drama with various meanings through different episodes for people who do not exercise, those who are just starting, and those who have made exercise a part of their lives. I hope everyone enjoys it in their own way. Let's get fit!"
