Actor Lee Na-young talked about the current life of her husband Won Bin, who has not been active in projects for 15 years.
On the morning of the 11th at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, a finale interview was held with Lee Na-young, the lead actor of the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama Honour.
Honour is a hot mystery chase about three female lawyers who confront a past that has returned as a huge scandal with a frontal breakthrough. In the work, Lee Na-young plays Yoon Ra-young, a celebrity lawyer who is the external messenger of the law firm L&J (Listen&Join), which specializes in defending victims of sexual crimes, and delivered a passionate performance.
When asked about her husband Won Bin's reaction to watching the work, Lee Na-young said, "Won Bin kept trying to fish for information because I kept not talking (about the latter part of the story). He would say, 'It's like this, right?' and I would say, 'I know,' but he kept watching my expression. I didn't tell him until the end. So I felt the show was doing well."
Asked whether he watched the episodes live with his family, she shyly replied, "We didn't watch all of them together as a family. I was embarrassed, so we watched some episodes together and I told them to watch some later on Coupang Play. Isn't it embarrassing to watch together?" She added about the feedback she received from her husband, "Rather than looking at details that closely, our tone is more like, 'You did okay?'" and said, "He keeps teasing me." She said, "His manner of speaking is always like a friend, so when I sing or do something and let him hear it, he says, 'Hmm, well,' 'It's better than I thought.'"
She went on, "Because it's a work suitable for viewers 15 and older, the kids couldn't watch it. They wanted to, but I stopped them," and added, "The children don't really know much about actors yet, so they find it fascinating. They only watch cartoons, so when they see movies or things like this they can't distinguish them from reality. I don't think they know much about actors. They keep asking, 'Is it real?'" She expressed affection for the work, saying, "I wonder if the children will watch it later?? It seems to remain a work through which they can learn about society and such."
Especially, returning after about three years through Honour, when asked what she did during the three-year hiatus, she explained, "I wasn't just not working. I tried to fill my inner self. Even now, from the end of March I will continue to fill my inner self." She also explained the current life of Won Bin, who has not announced news of his next work for 15 years, saying, "He is also filling his inner self in his own way, like I am."
Regarding the continued public interest in Won Bin's comeback plans, she joked, "Right. How is it going?" and said, "He also has a strong desire to act. Still, people don't forget and continue to show interest, so as someone by his side I am grateful." (Continued in interview②.)<
