Ye Ji-won, 7 years younger than Lee Dong-jun, recent status after ‘Yeonp’… reveals thoughts of marriage [Photoshoot]

Actress Ye Ji-won‘s retro concept pictorial with the magazine ‘Bravo My Life’ has been revealed.

This pictorial was conducted in a studio with the motif of the movie ‘In the Mood for Love’. Ye Ji-won perfectly digested the retro outfit and hair and makeup styling. Not only did she show a high level of understanding of the concept, but as expected from a dance major, she also struck various poses to complete the pictorial with a high degree of perfection.

Ye Ji-won is currently receiving a lot of attention from viewers through the TV Chosun entertainment program ‘The Private Life of an Actress’, which aired recently. In an interview following the filming, he said, “I didn’t know I would receive this much love,” and added, “I felt excited while filming for 5 nights and 6 days, but I felt like I went back to my childhood while living in the countryside with my close friends. I think the viewers liked it more as a healing variety show than a dating variety show.”

At the time of the broadcast, Ye Ji-won received a lot of support as the final couple with Korean dancer Lee Dong-jun, who is 7 years younger than her. When asked about Lee Dong-jun‘s recent activities, Ye Ji-won replied, “I am getting along well with all the cast members, including (Lee) Dong-jun, like friends.” About her thoughts on dating and marriage, she said, “I never considered dating to be a value in my life. I was curious about everything in the world, including acting, and had many hobbies, so I didn’t have time to think about dating,” and added, “But I became a little sad after filming ‘An Actress’s Private Life‘ ended. She confessed, ”I regret that I let my life as a woman slide because I was busy.“

KBS2 sitcom ‘Old Miss Diary’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Olmida’) is considered Ye Ji-won’s life‘s work. It depicts the work and love of old miss radio DJ Choi Mi-ja, and was aired from 2004 to 2005.

Regarding ‘Olmida’, Ye Ji-won said, ”It feels like a gift from the heavens to tell me to become an actress,“ and ”The ‘Olmida’ members are like another family. I’m so happy and blessed that the actors, director, and writer are all doing well and actively working.“ She also revealed that she is preparing for a 20th anniversary event with fans at the official fan cafe ‘Olmida Sarangbang.

Now that she is in her 50s, Ye Ji-won said, ”I don‘t think of myself as middle-aged.“ He emphasized that age is just a number and that it is important to live the life you have been given healthily. He also said about his future goals and hopes, ”I hope the movie and drama market will recover like before. Also, as I get older, I realize how precious my family and friends are, so I try to see them often even if I have to make time for them.“

The full candid interview with Ye Ji-won, who values interpersonal relationships, can be found in the November issue of ‘Bravo My Life’.
