[OSEN=김보라 기자] (Continued from Interview ②) Actress Yoon Yeo-jeong (76) said about Kim Young-ok (86), “For me, Kim Young-ok is my role model. “She is 10 years older than me, and she runs really powerfully,” he said, expressing his respect for her.
In an interview with OSEN held at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul on the afternoon of the 26th, Yoon Yeo-jeong said, “We are not big actors, but old actors. (Laughs).”
The two will appear in domestic theaters this Lunar New Year holiday with different films. First, the movie ‘Dog Days’ (directed by Kim Deok-min, distributed by CJ ENM, produced by CJ ENM, co-produced by CJ ENM STUDIOS, JK FILM, Zion ENT Co., Ltd.) starring Yoon Yeo-jeong (directed by Deok-min Kim, distributed by CJ ENM, co-produced by CJ ENM STUDIOS, JK FILM, Zion ENT Co., Ltd.), is a film in which successful architects, MZ riders, single men and women, and novice dads are all alone. It is a film about a new-born story of lonely people meeting a special best friend and changing each day. Yoon Yeo-jeong plays Min-seo, a successful architect.

Meanwhile, ‘Picnic’ starring Kim Young-ok (directed by Kim Yong-gyun, produced by Rocket Film Co., Ltd., distributed by Lotte Entertainment, provided by Lotte Entertainment, Escroad Co., Ltd. and Rocket Film Co., Ltd.) is about two friends who are best friends and in-laws for 60 years. This is a story about going on a trip together to Namhae, your hometown, and reconnecting with memories from when you were 16. Kim Young-ok played the role of Geum-soon and worked with Na Moon-hee, who played Eun-sim.
On this day, Yoon Yeo-jeong burst out into laughter, saying, “What kind of appearance are you talking about?” in response to the comment, “It’s special for great actors to appear in theaters during the Lunar New Year holidays.”
Yoon Yeo-jeong continued, “I think it’s amazing to see Kim Young-ok, who is 10 years older than me, still running energetically. Sometimes I try to stop them. “My older sister said, ‘I’ll do well if I do it,’ and she also did two TV projects,” she said. “I don’t even think about that. And (‘Dog Days’) is not my movie, nor am I the main character. “The main character has to take responsibility for the box office success, but since I’m not the main character, there’s no pressure,” he said.

Regarding the character Min-seo played in ‘Dog Days’, “When I was first offered this role, the name in the play was ‘Youn Yeo-jeong’. She wasn’t looking at the script when director Yoon Je-gyun said, ‘You can’t cast other actors. She said she didn’t think of any other actors. “She said she wrote it with me in mind from the beginning.”
When asked if Yoon Yeo-jeong seemed to have a similar personality to Min-seo, she responded, “I don’t know because I haven’t measured the synchronization rate. (Laughs)” and made people laugh.
Regarding the lines in the movie, “Looking at the way he spoke, I realized that he wrote lines that I would actually say. “It was written about me from the beginning, so I think I would have included my personality,” he said.
