Actor Ji Ye-eun showed loyalty to the 'Yura line'.
On the 13th broadcast of KBS Cool FM's Park Myung Soo's Radio Show, actor Ji Ye-eun, who recently began a public relationship with dancer Bata, appeared as a guest.
That day Park Myung Soo said, "Today a guest I like and you all find pretty and cute is coming," and "today is a 'legendary Go Soo' special. I really wanted to meet this person and finally got to meet on the 'Radio Show'. She is a blue chip in the entertainment world. It's Ji Ye-eun. Through 'SNL' she is having a peak period these days. I am in the same agency as an actor this time. She came out today. I really wanted to see her and she is so pretty in person," he introduced Ji Ye-eun with affectionate remarks.
He said, "When she was rising shouting 'be careful', I didn't know she'd become this successful. She took off with SNL and I'm jealous up to 'Running Man', 'Kian's Bizarre B&B', 'Yu Jae-seok camp.' She shines at 23rd in advertising brand reputation, Ji Ye-eun. I don't have that," expressing envy. He asked, "You haven't had many chances to do radio lately, right?" and Ji Ye-eun replied, "I haven't done it often lately so I'm nervous," showing tension.
Park Myung Soo asked, "Think of it comfortably. Recently the new company we're together with, CPNter, Coupang Enter family all gathered. We ate after seeing faces, the atmosphere was good, right?" Recently Park Myung Soo signed an exclusive contract with the CPNtertainment that Ji Ye-eun belongs to, becoming one family. Ji Ye-eun said, "It was fun because of senior Myung Soo," and "He is just like on TV so it was fun."
Park Myung Soo asked, "Ji Ye-eun looked prettier in person. I was surprised. Did you know I was coming in?" and Ji Ye-eun replied, "I saw it in the articles," adding, "I was really happy." But when asked, "Who is your ideal type?" she immediately answered, "Yu Jae-seok," causing laughter. When he asked again, "Which comedian do you like?" she then answered, "Park Myung Soo," and Park Myung Soo said, "That's different from what I heard; I'll ask you again at the end of the show. I don't want to put pressure from the start," adding to the laughter.
When asked, "You're in high demand these days wherever you go; how is that?" she said, "I'm grateful. Young fans really like me. It's surprising that elementary school students like me a lot and elderly people recognize me, so I'm surprised. I'm happy." When asked about behind the scenes of her appearance on SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny' aired the previous day, she mentioned the dating rumors with dancer Bata, saying, "The 'Running Man' PD moved to 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2' and asked me to come out. It happened to be an episode with senior Bae Seong-jae, and because I have a friendship with him I said I'd go. Then the dating rumors broke out."
Park Myung Soo asked, "With the dating rumors, I can't not ask at all, so let me ask briefly: are you seeing Mr. Bata? I don't know well; is he a good person?" Ji Ye-eun replied, "He is a good person. They said on the show they had never seen someone talk about a partner so much. What can I do when asked? I can't hide it," and explained, "He's a good friend. He's the choreographer who made famous Zico's 'Any Song' and 'Like Jenny.'" Park Myung Soo asked, "I'm also preparing a new dance song. Can he choreograph it cheaply?" Ji Ye-eun said, "Of course. That friend really liked 'Infinite Challenge.' Every time we ate he watched 'Infinite Challenge' and bought notebooks, stickers, calendars. I'm not lying; his favorite was Haha and senior Park Myung Soo," she conveyed her fandom.
But when asked, "Who is Ms. Ji Ye-eun's ideal type?" she immediately answered, "Yu Jae-seok," provoking bursts of laughter. Park Myung Soo shook his head saying, "He doesn't fall for it. I'm going crazy. Even though we're family.." He asked, "Have you done a lot of commercials? Did you give a gift for Parents' Day?" Ji Ye-eun admitted, "I couldn't give a gift. Earnings haven't been good these days." Park Myung Soo said, "If Ji Ye-eun's earnings aren't good, there aren't many who would suck their thumb here," and Ji Ye-eun explained, "These days I have to save; I gave a small allowance saying you mustn't spend it."
A Korea National University of Arts alumnus, Ji Ye-eun also talked about how she first came to appear on 'SNL.' Ji Ye-eun said, "I dreamed of being a comedy actor. I was too timid and introverted to be a comedian. So I liked comic acting. I thought I couldn't do it like entertainers, so I dreamed of being a comic actor. I once got an F when I only did comedy. The teacher said, 'When else will you try serious acting if not at school?' and gave me an F, so after that I only did tragedies," showing her love for comedy.
Ji Ye-eun, who joined 'SNL' through auditions, said, "They contacted me. So I prepared all night," and "At that time 'Decision to Leave' was popular. I felt I had to prepare a secret weapon. Since the script exists for acting, I thought I should prepare my own specialty, and a friend said, 'Try Tang Wei. You have the vibe,' so I kept practicing," and she showcased an impromptu impression.
She said, "I did it by researching and exaggerating it in a fun way. I kept using 'Am I that bad?' as a motif. They really liked it. I felt something come then. Everyone burst out laughing. Sure enough, they contacted me to come for a second audition. I prepared hard and went. Then I did Nam Moon-hee's role. It really wasn't similar but I pushed through with momentum. Nobody said it was identical but I pushed through with momentum. I even danced Nam Moon-hee's 'Saebing,'" showing her passion.
However, she said she cried from the pressure when she first joined. Ji Ye-eun explained, "Everyone is so good. Aren't they amazing? So I was so intimidated. Everyone acts so well and ad-libs and shows themselves on stage, and I thought that's who becomes an entertainer. I'm not capable. I'm too introverted and timid; I can't enter this field. So I cried and cried. I cried while finding the Lord. In the bathroom. Continuously. I felt overwhelmed. I couldn't ad-lib and couldn't bring myself to say anything. Everyone acted so well. Those moments really trained me," she explained.
She added, "Suzy unni was also such a senior and was scary, but Suzy unni saw I was overwhelmed and gave me courage. I gained courage. She told me this is how you do it, to ask about what you don't know and gave me a lot of advice on how to do better. She really does it well. She's a genius because she can play every role. She can play pretty roles and there's no acting she can't do. Her range is enormous," she praised.
Meanwhile Park Myung Soo said, "I was very angry after seeing the news. I heard you sang 'Naengmyeon' with Jee Seokjin. It's mine, so why did you sing with Jee Seokjin? You should have sung it with me," and Ji Ye-eun defended herself saying, "I sang to make money at an event.." which caused laughter. Park Myung Soo said, "I don't mean it that way; isn't 'Naengmyeon' my song? Would you consider singing it with me?" and Ji Ye-eun said, "Of course," and the two launched into an impromptu duet. But after repeated pitch slips, Park Myung Soo joked, "The magazine is a bit flipped. It seems your enthusiasm got ahead of you. I won't do it with you. No. When doing live you can't flip it," adding to the cheerfulness.
He mentioned that he formed Jee Seokjin and the Chungju Ji clan and released the 'Milkshake' album, and when he said, "I wish Mr. Bata had choreographed it," Ji Ye-eun said, "Mr. Bata choreographed it," and "It felt like something was brewing from then. He said the song was so good," showing a pink mood. Park Myung Soo teased, "Did he say the song was good or that he liked Ye-eun?" and Ji Ye-eun answered, "Both," creating a warm atmosphere. However, when a listener, seeing their chemistry, told Ji Ye-eun to "join the Park line," Park Myung Soo drew the line saying, "I'm the only one in the Park line. Try another line," eliciting laughter.
Meanwhile Ji Ye-eun acknowledged last month that she was dating Bata. The two, born in 1994 and the same age, are church friends who grew closer through shared interests and religion and are reported to have recently developed into lovers.<
