• Jung So Min Calls Wearing a High School Uniform "Embarrassing" in 'Love Next Door': "This Will Be the Real Last Time"

    Jung So Min recently opened up about her experience playing a teenage character in the new tvN drama 'Love Next Door'.

    At the press conference on August 14 at the Ramada Hotel in Sin-dorim, Seoul, Jung So Min shared her thoughts on donning a high school uniform again. Despite her initial hesitation, she approached the role with a positive attitude.

    "I thought I’d never wear a school uniform again," said Jung So Min, now 35. "Every time I put one on, I told myself it would be the last time. I didn't expect to wear it again for this drama, so I was quite worried."

    She added, "Filming was enjoyable because it let me act with a different energy from my usual roles. But I have to admit, it was a bit embarrassing. I really think this will be the last time I play a teenager," she laughed.

    Jung Hae In, her co-star, had a different take. "I hope it’s not the last time," he said. "Initially, I was nervous about wearing the uniform, but it made me feel like a fresh-faced teenager again and brought back a lot of memories. I ended up enjoying the experience more than I expected."

    'Love Next Door' is a romance drama that follows Bae Seok Ryu (played by Jung So Min) as she joins a global company and reunites with her childhood friend, Choi Seung Hyo (played by Jung Hae In).

    The show explores their rekindled relationship and promises both laughter and heartfelt moments.
