Jinyoung and Dahyun have summoned the faces of our nostalgic first loves that exist in our hearts to the screen. It is through the movie ‘The Girl We Loved Back Then’, which was released on the 21st.

‘The Girl We Loved Back Then’, a remake of the 2012 Taiwanese movie of the same name, is a refreshing piece that depicts the first love story of Jinwoo (Jinyoung) and Seonah (Dahyun), who are immature and in love with each other but cannot easily express it. The two people who met as fellow actors rather than senior and junior idols through this film, at some point looked at each other not as Jinyoung and Dahyun but as ‘Jinwoo and Sunah themselves’ and changed their minds.

O“I was worried about the kiss scene with Dahyun, but”

He was born in 1991 and is 33 years old this year, and he played the role of a high school student in this film and acted most of the scenes wearing a school uniform.

“Actually, I‘ve played a lot of young roles that wear school uniforms, so I felt a bit used to it. It’s a little embarrassing, but I want to continue playing roles that wear school uniforms for the next three years. But I think three years will be the Maginot Line, haha.”

What I was more worried about than acting as a high school student was the ‘exposure scenes’. Unlike the original character who is always naked at home, he said, “The level of exposure was well-controlled” in this film.

“We filmed scenes that were even more intense than the ones in the movie. But I think the director didn’t think it was good to have as much exposure as the original. I think he thought that it had to be a work that all generations could watch.”

The “same-sex kiss scene” with Son Woo-hyun was also a big challenge. Looking back on the filming, he laughed, saying, “His lips were thick.”

“It was my first time doing a kiss scene like that, so I was nervous. It was a sensation I’d never experienced before, haha. While we were waiting, Son Woo-hyun and I sighed deeply. Before filming, Son Woo-hyun comforted me, saying, “It’ll pass quickly,” but the kiss scene was deeper than I thought. After filming, I comforted her.”

After filming the ‘NotEasyKissingSex’ with Son Woo Hyun, she drew attention when she said that she relaxed and filmed the kissing scene with Dahyun, who plays the female lead Sun Ah, without difficulty.””“Since it was her first kissing scene, Dahyun was really nervous. So I tried to make her as comfortable as possible before filming. This time, I told her first, ‘Don‘t worry, it will pass quickly.’”

As the counterpart of Dahyun, who has a huge fandom, in her ‘FirstKissingSex’, when asked “Aren’t you worried about the reaction of the TWICE fandom?”She cheerfully replied, “I‘m okay because I have fans too.”””Of course, it’s not like I wasn‘t worried at all. So I asked Dahyun, “Isn’t this a big deal?” and she said, “Our fans are cool and nice people, so it‘s okay.” I think the fans will be lenient as well.“
