Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Jung Ha joined Allure Korea for an interview and pictorial!
On June 26, Allure Korea released a new pictorial featuring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Jung Ha, who star together in the upcoming drama “The Auditors.”
Reflecting on the pictorial’s concept, a staycation with a senior co-worker, Shin Ha Kyun commented, “How horrible that sounds. Going on a staycation with a senior co-worker? I can’t understand that because I never use the same room even with my manager.”
Elucidating on the question about what kind of fellow actor Lee Jung Ha is, Shin Ha Kyun responded, “Jung Ha is kind, genuine, and works really hard. Since we met as fellow actors, we are in equal positions. I have my role, and he has his. I share my thoughts when he asks them, but ultimately, acting is something you learn on your own rather than being taught by someone else. I just guide him.”
Ruminating about the time since winning Best New Actor at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, Lee Jung Ha expressed his gratitude that he has been able to experience working in various fields since then and that his social skills have improved by it. Comparing to when he debuted, Lee Jung Ha explained, “I realized that I am shyer than I thought. I didn’t know this before because I hadn’t had many opportunities to stand in front of large groups. I’m trying to be more confident. I also want to change my disorganized speech. My ambitions are growing.”
Lee Jung Ha expressed his admiration toward Shin Ha Kyun’s sense of humor and professionalism, sharing, “He makes us laugh to lighten the mood when the shoots gets long. Even then, he does it as that character, which is so cool.” At the same time, Lee Jung Ha described Shin Ha Kyun as a great teacher and mentor who he can always reach out to whenever he is doubtful about his acting. Lee Jung Ha added, “No matter what opinions I offer, Shin Ha Kyun always suggests ways to approach it.”
The full interview and pictorial will be available in the July issue of Allure Korea magazine. Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Jung Ha’s “The Auditors” will premiere on July 6 at 9:20 p.m. KST and be available on Dramacool.
