[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Actress Jeon In-hwa is drawing attention by recalling the time when she was one of the three great beauties of Chung-Ang University.
On the afternoon of the 26th, the JTBC entertainment program 'Knowing Bros' (hereafter ‘Knowing Bros’) aired the activities of Hwang Shin-hye and Jeon In-hwa, who transferred from the 'Original Goddesses High School'.
That day, Lee Sang-min started by saying, "If Shin-hye was the computer beauty, In-hwa was the campus beauty." He also said, "At that time, there were three great beauties at Chung-Ang University: Kim Hee-ae, Jeon In-hwa, and Jo Yong-won."
In response, Jeon In-hwa said, "I wasn’t pretty in middle and high school. I didn’t think I was pretty. I thought my skin was white and clean, but I became pretty late after appearing on broadcasts."
She added, "Male students would always follow me at night, so I thought about how to stop them." Jeon In-hwa also said, "Among the three great beauties of Chung-Ang University, people said I was the prettiest," which brought laughter.
Later, Hwang Shin-hye said, "I have tried historical dramas once. It wasn’t a traditional historical drama." Jeon In-hwa, who won the acting award for 'Ladies of the Palace', recalled, "I did many 50-episode dramas. Usually, dramas are 50 episodes, but 'Ladies of the Palace' was 150 episodes. It lasted for one and a half years. I wore a wig, and my scalp felt hot and hurt as if being pierced with an awl."
Jeon In-hwa said, "The first historical drama I did was playing Jang Hee-bin in 'Queen In-hyun’s Man'. After that, I worried because historical drama acting was difficult and I lacked confidence. At that time, Teacher Kim Eul-dong introduced Yoo Dong-geun to me. So I learned acting. When I did 'Ladies of the Palace', since we lived together, my voice came out more confidently."
When asked if they talk in historical drama language as a couple, Jeon In-hwa shared an episode that made everyone burst into laughter: "It was when we were doing 'Ladies of the Palace' and 'Empress Myeongseong'. We shouted in our respective rooms, so the security office thought we were fighting and came to check."
Meanwhile, Knowing Bros airs every Saturday at 9 PM.
