Shin recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and responded to the end of the interview for "100 Memories."
"100 Memories" is a new-tro youth melodrama about the brilliant friendship between Go Young-rye (Kim Da-mi) and Seo Jong-hee (Shin Ye-eun) on the 100th bus, and the affectionate first love surrounding Han Jae-pil (Heo Nam-joon), the fateful man of the two friends. In the play, Shin Young-eun plays Seo Jong-hee, a new guide with bold ambitions for Miss Korea.
Shin In-eun said in the interview, `Time has passed so fast that it's already over. The end of Disney+ 'Turbulent' was made even more special as it was released almost at the same time. It was a time to think about whether I missed anything through my work and reflect on what I learned inside"He confessed.
When asked about the biggest learning he has gained from this work, he said "I felt a lot of acting growth. I talked a lot about my life with my counterparts, and my thoughts got wider." He said "I've always been straight, but it was an opportunity to look back on myself as I heard that some people live slowly and others stop for a while."
In particular, Shin said she received a deep resonance in her conversation with Kim Dami. "Dami is a person who takes good care of herself without being impatient. Her sister's attitude of 'Let's do it when I'm ready' was shocking. Seeing that made me look at life differently, he recalled.
As it is a work that deals with warmans, Shin Shin-eun emphasized her collaboration with Kim Dami. "Dami and I have similar personalities. I like to be alone and I don't talk much. I didn't get close by chatting, but I felt that I was a person with similar texture, and I became more and more sticky. When I looked at my sister's eyes, she was the honor itself. There was also a time when tears poured out the moment he affectionately called 'Jong-hee'. Jong-hee was able to be completed because of her sister." Then "Yeongrye was Jong-hee's one-of-a-kind and first-of-its-kind happiness." If Jong-hee had to hide herself to be loved, Yeong-rye is a person who opens her heart at any time. Jong-hee would have naturally given up her heart to such Young-rye."
Then, when asked which one to choose between friendship and love, "I loved Jae-pil very much, but if I had to choose between the two, it would be an honor." I thought about this question before, but before I met this work, it was unconditional love. But '100 memories' served as an opportunity to think about friendship a little more' he replied.
He also had a lot of affection for the actors he worked with. As for Heo Nam-jun "I felt difficult at first because I was a senior directly at the school. I was very nervous because I was scared from 'Your Honor', but when I met him in person, he was an innocent young man. I laughed at the sight of only eating silently. He said, "He's a warm and careful person, so he went well with the character Jae-pil."
He also mentioned Park Seo-ham, who worked with him in 'Turbul'. "What a pure man. I felt like I was keeping the first feeling I had when I was acting. "I was so nervous that I could hear the sound of my heart in the GV, and I felt that I was sincerely working on the work."
Regarding the red carpet scene at the Busan International Film Festival, which was a hot topic, "There were so many people that I took headache pills and came out in the corner." I'm excited when I go on stage, but I'm an introvert in real life. There is a clear distinction between the moment under the light and the time alone."
Shin Ye-eun has finished two works in a row, but she doesn't rest. This is because we are planning to start filming Genie TV 'Johnber Doctor', which is scheduled to be released in 2026. Shin Ye-eun expressed her expectations, saying, `It's a lovely and everyday story, so I'm excited.'
Finally, he "I want to continue to act for a long time in good health. I hope there will be more people waiting for my work."
Meanwhile, '100 Memories' started with 3.3% in the first episode and showed a steady rise, ending with 8.1% viewership in the final episode on the 19th.
