In a recent episode of MBC's spin-off series "Yeo Eunpah," Han Hye-jin discussed her experience on the program with fellow cast member Park Na-rae. The episode aired on the YouTube channel "Naraesik" and featured candid conversations about their initial impressions of each other and the challenges of their show.
During their discussion, Park Na-rae reflected on her early views of Han Hye-jin, noting that although she found her intimidating at first, she grew to respect her dedication. Han Hye-jin echoed this sentiment, sharing that her continued participation in "Yeo Eunpah" was more about supporting Na-rae's passion than her own desire for the project. The comedic and somewhat low-budget nature of the show added a layer of pressure for both women.
Han Hye-jin admitted that she initially felt reluctant about the show's concept, describing it as a source of stress for her. Despite wanting to step away after a recent personal separation, she found herself compelled to stay on board, mostly due to Na-rae's enthusiasm. This realization led to an acknowledgment of the difficult nature of their roles, particularly for fellow cast member Hwasa.
Reflecting on the overall experience, both women expressed their feelings of discomfort during filming, but also recognized the enjoyment and popularity it garnered. Han Hye-jin reassured Park Na-rae that there was no need to feel guilty about the challenging content, emphasizing that the show was not as easy as it may have appeared to fans. This deeper insight into their filming experiences highlights the complexities behind Korean variety shows.
