(continuing interview ③) Actress Lee Chaeyoung expressed her grievance over the earlier 'next-year marriage rumor.'
Lee Chaeyoung met with OSEN on the afternoon of the 26th for an interview.
Earlier, when rumors surfaced about her marrying a certain director next year, she completely denied them. At the time she rebutted, "I will not get married next year. I don't know the contact information. The rumor that started at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival reached me too. It's not true," she said.
When that was mentioned, Lee Chaeyoung spoke about how unfair the situation felt. The rumor followed her from the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, and after receiving several direct messages with similar content, she eventually felt compelled to state her position personally.
Lee Chaeyoung said, "It's an absurd story. It isn't even worth mentioning. I received a few DMs and then checked and learned about it. I don't even know the site source where the rumor came from, there is just so much fake news," and drew a firm line, "I'll get married someday, of course. But not with this person."
When asked whether she actually has plans to marry, he honestly replied, "I should definitely get married. I must." He also gave a specific timeframe, asking, "Won't it be before I turn 45?"
Approaching her 40s, she is likely not free from pressure about marriage. Lee Chaeyoung said, "I think it's a concern many people my age have. We won't stay young and pretty forever. It's even more intense for actresses. Because we've received a lot of love, the standards that come from that are somewhat higher, aren't they? Things like aging or evaluations of the person you are dating are frightening," and added, "Actually, if I were the only one who mattered, I could just date someone, but people talk like, 'What kind of person are they.' In that regard, it seems like everyone around me is also going through a period of much 고민."
When asked about her standards for a partner, Lee Chaeyoung answered, "Character is important. I can sense awkward vibes well. And personality. A personality that can manage my temperament is important, and I would look at things related to what the person does (pride, etc.)."
