Hong Hwa-yeon, who debuted with the Sugar Bowl music video 'I'll Lower Your Expectations' in 2020, appeared on tvN 'Mental Coach Jegalgil' in 2022 and built her acting career through various works, then joined SBS 'Treasure Island' (played by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-gyu) and impressed viewers. Hong Hwa-yeon, who recently met Sports Chosun, said, "It was my first time participating in a 16-episode work, so the filming period was relatively long and I thought the broadcast period would be long, but it's a pity that eight weeks passed faster than I thought. But they showed a lot of interest and love, so I'm sending 'Treasure Island' in a good mood" expressed his feelings.
Hong Hwa-yeon is an actor who was able to play Yeo Eun-nam through a competition ratio of 100 to 1, and has received attention for her appearance and acting skills since her first appearance. Hong Hwa-yeon said "From the time I was cast for the first time, I had to feel surprisingly responsible in a way, so I prepared hard." I conducted group reading several times, and I understood how the seniors acted. What helped was that I did four auditions over a little less than a month or two, and I had a lot of conversations with the director. There is a process of sharing opinions and matching what kind of character Eun-nam is with the work I think "Treasure Island", so I was impressed that Eun-nam was piled up one by one through the audition process. So, I felt like I prepared more and started compared to other works."
Unexpected scenes also appeared one after another. The first main film attracted attention from the concentrated love spirit. Hong Hwa-yeon said, `I didn't think such scenes would attract attention. Because I thought they were necessary gods. I thought that was the factor that could maximize the impact of the ending of the first episode. It was my first time meeting a boyfriend in a drama, and it was my first time seeing such a person, so I thought a lot about 'What should I do?' and we talked a lot and matched it. (Park Hyung-sik) In a way, he worked with his seniors a lot, and I felt that he passed on the good things they treated me at that time. I also had something to learn, and I thought I should do this to someone."
Hong Hwa-yeon then said of the love spirit "My mom and dad must have never seen them before, but I got to watch the rerun together someday. But my dad keeps talking about something else whenever such a scene comes out. 'Does Park Hyungsik wear a suit?Why don't you say ' and suddenly go throw away the trash. He talked to the cat next to him, or he enjoyed the work itself in that way, but he was embarrassed when such a scene came out. I remember seeing my dad like that for the first time."

"Treasure Island" ended with a whopping 15.4% viewership. (Nilson Korea's national standard) Hong Hwa-yeon said, `We felt like our hard work was paying off, and even though we knew all the contents of the script, there were many times when the ending scene was fun, shocking, and surprising. When I saw that, I thought 'How thrilling would the viewers be?' "I also have a lot of Instagram followers. In fact, our goal was to achieve 100,000 followers during the drama, which originally started from 40,000 to over 300,000 followers. As it was released through global OTT, I thought a lot of people would watch it, and I'm grateful that I can see various languages in the comments.
Hong Hwa-yeon will run to a constant work from 'Treasure Island' to 'Running Mate' and 'Your Taste'.
