Actors Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young are continuing a new connection by meeting again in a work after 9 years. The two appeared on the YouTube channel 'Yoo In Radio' and had an honest conversation ranging from their past connection to their first impressions of each other.

From siblings 9 years ago to opposite roles… changed first impressions

Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young previously worked together as siblings in the past work '100 Days My Prince'. In this video, the two talked about the background of reuniting as opposite roles after 9 years and their changed appearances. Regarding Kim Jae-young, Nam Ji-hyun said, "In the past, his eyes were a bit sharper and he had strong charisma playing a warrior role," and added, "Now, I feel he has become much softer." She continued to explain the changed atmosphere of her counterpart as time passed, saying, "Back then, there was no leeway in life and it was a time of fighting the world, but now, it seems like a little bit of leeway has been gained."

Kim Jae-young also expressed special feelings regarding Nam Ji-hyun. Toward Nam Ji-hyun, he said, "Since she is from IOF, she felt like a senior since a long time ago, and even now, a mature feeling and a childlike appearance coexist." He also mentioned the atmosphere he felt on set, saying, "Seeing her in person, she is so pure."

"Even the part of the hair is identical"… unexpected high chemistry

The two showed exceptional chemistry through a 'TMI OX Quiz' where they tried to guess information about each other. In particular, at the beginning of the video, it was mentioned that the two's hair part proportions are the most identical among the male and female couples who appeared, showing unexpected chemistry. During the quiz process, Nam Ji-hyun revealed her experience participating in a festival club (traditional Korean music club) during her university days. She recalled, "I was active in a small group during my freshman year of university," and "I even took on a leader role and learned the small drum (sogo)." However, she added an anecdote that because she took a leave of absence, she could not participate in the festival properly and went just to watch.

Kim Jae-young shared his recent status, confessing, "I gained weight recently for my work activities, but it is hard to diet again." He also drew attention by revealing, "I start my day by searching my name on portal sites." He added, "If there are compliments, I look for them. It makes me feel good because I think I am living well," and "I feel a sense of relief if my name is in celebrity type classifications, and I feel grateful for the fact that I am being thought of there."

Time alone and the joys of daily life

On this day, the cast continued an everyday conversation under the theme of 'Time Alone'. Nam Ji-hyun said, "Since I was twenty, I have liked eating alone," and "Recently, since last year, I have fallen into the fun of watching movies alone, sometimes watching five films a month." However, she added small difficulties, saying, "I am not yet confident in traveling alone or grilling meat alone," and "Since everyone would be grilling meat, I think I would be embarrassed to grill alone."

Kim Jae-young showed interest in cooking. He said, "I like cooking, and the pleasure I feel when cleaning up after cooking is great," and "When it is cleaned up, I feel a professional feeling."
