“Baby, let’s go!”
SBS’s ‘Lovers in Paris’ (2004), which produced this famous line that has been on the lips for over 20 years, catapulted actor Kim Jeong-eun (49) to the ranks of romantic comedy queens, both in name and reality. But Kim Jong-un, who was in his 20s at the time, felt her secret thirst along with her joy. “Female characters are unable to solve problems on their own and are chosen by the ‘prince on a white horse.’ As time passed, I began to wonder, ‘Is this the only way female characters can be used?’”
JTBC’s ‘Strong Woman Gangnam-soon’ (hereinfollowing referred to as ‘Gangnam-soon’) is also a drama that “felt catharsis” for Kim Jong-un, who had been waiting for “a story where women become the main characters rather than being sidelines (in the story).” Hwang Geum-ju, the mother of Kang Nam-soon (Lee Yu-mi), played by Kim Jong-un, is strong and has a lot of money. Moreover, ‘Gangnam-soon’ is the story of three mothers and daughters: Gang Nam-soon, her mother Hwang Geum-ju, and her grandmother Gil Jung-gan (Kim Hae-sook). Kim Jong-un, whom we recently met at a cafe in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, said, “The moment I received the offer to appear in the role and saw the scene in the script where the three mothers and daughters meet, I thought, ‘I can do this,’ and shouted, ‘I will do it no matter what.'”

Hwang Geum-joo is the most unconventional female character of all time. She enjoys wearing leather suits and riding motorcycles, and not only does she show off her superpowers, she solves her problems with the enormous amount of money she earned as a self-made woman. He said, “I really like Hwanggeumju,” and “even the softness of his heart and the B-level sensibility that falters at important moments are my style.” She is also the point where actor Kim Jong-un’s specialty, comedy acting, shines.
Kim Jong-un received a lot of attention for comedy films in the early 2000s, such as ‘Family Glory’. “When I was young, I didn’t know that saying ‘comedy is your major’ was a compliment, but I got upset and said ‘you’re good at other things too,’ but I don’t know why,” he said. Now, he said, “I realized the importance of comedy, which only I can do.”
Actor Kim Jeong-eun said in an interview at the end of JTBC’s ‘Strong Woman Gangnam-soon’ held at a cafe in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 16th, “I worked hard in my 20s and 30s, but when I took a step away from work due to marriage, etc., I gained more leisure and work became more precious.” He said, “When I watch a good drama, I feel my blood boiling.” Provided by agency
After passing through his 20s and 30s and getting married and taking a step away from work, he realized its importance even more. He said, “When I watch a good drama, I feel like my blood boils.” Referring to the part in the play where Gil Joong-gan, Hwang Geum-joo’s mother, asks, “When you get old, your heart stops beating? Does your heart sag or your breasts?”, he said, “It’s not really that your heart sags.”
Kim Jong-un, who is now in his 27th year since his debut, often expressed his concern during interviews, saying, “I shouldn’t look ‘old’.” Therefore, he tried to accept as much as possible the director’s direction and the young staff’s feedback on the set of ‘Gangnam Soon’, which was his comeback film following 3 years. Kim Jong-un said, “I often went to the editing room on purpose to monitor the production and make sure that golden liquor did not escape from the body.”

‘Gangnam Soon’, which ended on the 26th, is a fantasy comic, but is also evaluated as a healing drama. This is because the story of three mothers and daughters who show ‘justice’ and overcome great evil is refreshing. Kim Jong-un also said, “I think the reason why many people like ‘Gangnam Soon’ is because each person’s life is rough,” and added, “I thought you were comforted for a moment, and I was also comforted through the work.”
