Gong Hyo-jin reveals episode about Lee Ha-nui's second pregnancy… internet users "I thought Gong Hyo-jin herself was pregnant and was shocked"
Actress Gong Hyo-jin recalled when she first heard about Lee Ha-nui's second pregnancy and revealed an episode that happened on set. However, in the process some internet users reacted, saying, "For a moment I thought Gong Hyo-jin was pregnant and was surprised," showing confusion.
On the 25th the film 'Upstairs Neighbors' held a press screening at Megabox COEX in Seoul, attended by Ha Jung-woo, Gong Hyo-jin, Kim Dong-wook and Lee Ha-nui. This film, drawing attention as Ha Jung-woo's fourth directorial work, is a comedy thriller depicting an unpredictable dinner between two couples entangled by noise between floors.
Gong Hyo-jin and Lee Ha-nui reunited for the first time in about 13 years since the drama 'Pasta.' Gong Hyo-jin recalled her impression of Lee Ha-nui at the time, saying, "Even then she was someone who worked very hard. She's truly Miss Universe material," offering generous praise.
Gong Hyo-jin then mentioned the moment she first heard about Lee Ha-nui's second pregnancy. Gong Hyo-jin said, "Was it the third day of filming… Ha-nui said it was a 'major announcement' and that there was a baby in her belly. I was really surprised. She asked us to keep it secret so she was hiding it, and we circulated the news cautiously on set."
She continued, "Seeing her act while holding back morning sickness in front of a feast, I wondered, 'How can she do that so early in pregnancy?'" and conveyed Lee Ha-nui's struggle, adding warmth. Lee Ha-nui replied, "Back when we did Pasta I was such a rookie that I watched the senior's acting in a daze," and said, "I long held the wish that if I became a good actor someday I would definitely want to work together again," warmly responding to the scene.
When Gong Hyo-jin's remarks became known, many reactions poured in online. That was because one media headline caused some confusion. As it ranked high in the real-time entertainment rankings, people said, "Seeing 'I was surprised they were pregnant' I momentarily thought it was about Gong Hyo-jin…" "Just from the title I thought the rumor of Gong Hyo-jin's pregnancy was spreading lol" "So it was Ha-nui's pregnancy story… both are so heartwarming" "She's acting even while pregnant with her second child, Lee Ha-nui is amazing," were among the reactions. Some internet users also caused a misunderstanding at the film set by seeing only the part where Gong Hyo-jin said, "I was really surprised."
Meanwhile, 'Upstairs Neighbors' is the first work in which the two actors reunited and a meaningful reunion in which they shared changes in each other's lives. Especially, Lee Ha-nui reportedly moved the staff and cast by delivering a passionate performance even in early pregnancy. Gong Hyo-jin and Lee Ha-nui once again proved they are "colleagues and friends who have supported each other's growth," raising anticipation for the film.<
