Actress Kim Jung-nan recalled memories of the late Lee Soon-jae.
On the 6th, a video titled ""I knew it would go well," mom Kim Jung-nan, and the son who ultimately made it a reality, Park Jihoon (Baeksang new actor nominee)" was uploaded to Kim Jung-nan's YouTube channel.
That day Kim Jung-nan invited singer and actor Park Jihoon, who played mother and son in the film "The World's So Pretty Audrey," to her home and served dishes she made herself.
While eating, he talked about acting and said, "Acting is like that. Even after doing it for so long it still feels like meeting the person for the first time. Maybe because each work is a first. I was reading the script just the day before yesterday. Even group readings make me nervous. So I said, 'I'm nervous,' and the writer asked, 'You're still nervous?' I said, 'Of course,' and the rookie friends' eyes widened and they said their pulse felt like it would jump out. I said, 'I'm nervous, so of course you would be too,' and they said, 'Right, senior.'" He confessed that he still gets nervous every time he does a project.
He continued, "Being nervous and excited at the same time, isn't there that feeling? That's why I do it," and honestly added, "I don't think I'll live long. I'm living so tensely."
Kim Jung-nan recalled the late Lee Soon-jae, saying, "I really don't know how long I'll be like this. I heard that teacher Lee Soon-jae did the same. When they were doing a drama together long ago, the teacher never let the script leave his hands for a moment." Earlier, she had worked with the late Lee Soon-jae in the SBS weekend drama 'Yes, That's How It Is,' which aired in 2016.
She became moved and said, "As you get older your memory fades and your judgment declines, so you worry, 'If I mess up a line, will the juniors have to do it several more times?' So he kept the script with him, afraid of making mistakes. All day long."
She went on, "When I was young, lines would stick in my head after only seeing them once or twice. I hardly ever flubbed. It would go perfectly in one take. I even thought at the time, 'Was I born this way? Why do lines come so easily to me? Maybe I'm just someone who must act.' It was to the point I thought that, but at some point I also started needing to see them several times for them to stick. Even though I've acted for a long time, I don't want to show a poor side when acting with young actors. That makes me more nervous," she revealed her inner feelings.
She laughed and said, "Even though you've accumulated experience, acting is like that. So I still remember that image of teacher Lee Soon-jae now. But no matter how much you tell someone young, they don't really understand. Even if you say things like that, it doesn't 100 percent resonate. They think, 'Oh, is that so?' and move on, but I'm telling them from experience. I was like that too."
