'Love Catcher in Bali' cast member Ahn Yoo-jung revealed the reason she switched to acting.
On the 28th, a press conference for the short drama 'The Dazzling Her Secret' was held at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where actors Ahn Yoo-jung and Cha Yoo-hyun attended and talked.
'The Dazzling Her Secret' is a 78-episode emotional romance short drama that depicts the process of a contractual relationship that began as a sham marriage developing into true love, and it will be released simultaneously through NetShort and ReelShort. In this work, actor Ahn Yoo-jung, who appeared on 'Love Catcher in Bali,' takes on the lead role of Jang Yu-na and takes on her first full-fledged acting challenge, and fellow agency member Cha Yoo-hyun takes on the role of Lee Seo-jin, drawing attention as his first leading role in a short drama.
On this day, Ahn Yoo-jung said about filming 'The Dazzling Her Secret,' "We filmed for eight days," and added, "I received the script a week before we started shooting. From then I memorized the script, and I went into filming after rehearsing with actor Yoo-hyun."
Ahn Yoo-jung is taking on acting for the first time through 'The Dazzling Her Secret.' She said of the reason she switched to acting, "It's a little embarrassing to call myself an influencer, but I heard that acting is a profession where you can live as someone else. I wanted to deal with and express various emotions, so I started with a spirit of challenge."
She continued, "(Acting) seems to be a very different kind of charm. Rather than the idea of putting down being an influencer, I decided to try acting because I thought it would be good to combine various things and show diverse charms."
Ahn Yoo-jung said she chose 'The Dazzling Her Secret' as her debut work because, "When I read the script, the character Jang Yu-na was a woman who did not rely on or lean on anyone but had her own beliefs and will. I found myself cheering for her as she overcomes by her own strength. I wanted to portray the role of Jang Yu-na as a woman, so I chose it as my first work."
Meanwhile, the short drama 'The Dazzling Her Secret' will be first released today (the 28th) at 5 p.m.
