The fact that actors Jung Il-woo (39 years old) and Lee Tae-ran (49 years old) were classmates from Hanyang University's class of 08 surprised everyone. The story of their connection in the same year of admission, despite a 10-year age difference, became a hot topic.
On the 7th, on the KBS2TV variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Tae-ran and Jung Il-woo appeared as guests together to reveal their special connection.
On this day, Lee Tae-ran said, "Even though I have been in broadcasting for a long time, I don't have many entertainer friends. I always thought it would be nice to have friends my age," to which MC Kim Suk replied, "I am also the same age as Lee Tae-ran. Among those born in the year of the rat, Lee Tae-ran is the best. Let's go fishing and camping together" to express familiarity.
Jung Il-woo recalled his first meeting with Lee Tae-ran, saying, "When we greeted awkwardly during the script reading, I wondered if I did something wrong," which drew laughter. It turned out they were college classmates. Jung Il-woo expressed his disappointment, saying, "We attended the same school and took classes together, but she treated me like a stranger." To this, Lee Tae-ran apologized, saying, "At that time, since I was famous, I thought I had seen you somewhere, but I'm sorry for not remembering. It wasn't intentional."
It turns out that the two are classmates from the class of 08 in the Department of Theater and Film at Hanyang University. Lee Tae-ran reportedly enrolled late at that time. Jung Il-woo was born in 1987, while Lee Tae-ran was born in 1975, making them 10 years apart.
On this day, Lee Tae-ran also shared an episode she felt due to the generational gap. She said, "On the reading scene, seniors above me used paper scripts, while those from Jung Il-woo's generation used tablets to view scripts," adding, "Recently, mini scripts have appeared, but we find it hard to see because the text is small," which drew laughter.
The unexpected connection as 'classmates' and their delightful generational talk provided a friendly laugh for viewers.
