SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Going Palace' (scripted by Yoon Soo-jung/directed by Yoon Seong-sik) is a fantasy rom-co in which a shaman who rejects the fate of a young girl and Lee Ji-gun, trapped in the body of Yeo-ri's first love Yoon Gap, are confronted by eight ears who have a grudge against the royal family and his body and soul are twisted tightly. In the play, Kim Ji-yeon played the role of a shaman, Yeo-ri (Kim Ji-yeon), creating tension against the eight ears by solving the story of the resentful demons as well as shining determined eyes.

Kim Ji-yeon is a friend who has known Yook Sung-jae since he was a trainee. I didn't have a chance to see him work, but meeting him on the spot through this work really stood out as a professional actor"I learned a lot from breathing together."." Then "I had a big T-like tendency, so I teased him 'Factualizer', but he stayed comfortable." I was so comfortable because I had a friend who gave me advice on what angles came out pretty and I could ask if I didn't know anything," he laughed.




What kind of person is actor Yook Sung-jae. Kim Ji-yeon seems to be a friend who has many advantages. Fantasy acting itself is difficult, but it seems that he has a natural talent to solve it without being excessive. He also plays comedy with his own color, and he has his own energy. Don't you have a good voice. That's why I thought he was a really talented friend."
