The 8 regular season cast members of ‘Transfer Love’ and 2 new faces gathered in Jeju Island once again.

As the original season of ‘Transfer Love’ was popular, the spin-off ‘Transfer Love, Another Beginning’ is also very popular. These days, while the show is in full swing, the 10 cast members stood in front of the Cosmopolitan camera. Filling the studio with bright and cheerful energy, they talked about their feelings about appearing in the spin-off and gave a subtle ‘spoiler’ in an interview following the photo shoot.

Regarding what made her decide to appear in this spin-off series, Lee Hye-sun said, “I was in my 20s when I appeared in ‘Transfer Love’ Season 1, but I‘m in my 30s now. I was curious about how it would feel to leave the show with a more mature inner self. Again, I was scared to go on TV, but I liked the challenge so I decided to appear again.” Lee Gwan-woo, who is newly appearing, said, “If it had been the original ‘Transfer Love,’ I would never have appeared. For this show, I was able to appear without X, so I didn’t feel any pressure, and more than anything, I was grateful that (Cho) Hwi-hyun thought of me and invited me.” Park Ji-yeon and Lee Gwan-woo, who are newly appearing, are real-life friends of original cast members Lee Ji-yeon and Jo Hwi-hyun, respectively.

When I was appearing on ‘Transfer Love,’ I asked him how he felt about seeing his X start a relationship. Jeong Gyu-min said, “At first, I think my biggest wish was for X to do well. (Omitted) But when I actually saw everything happening right before my eyes, I felt strange. It wasn’t very pleasant. I wanted to not show it as much as possible, but I feel sorry for X because I couldn’t.” He revealed his true feelings at the time. Lee Ji-yeon revealed her honest feelings, saying, “Actually, at first, I only saw my X. After all, he was the person who best matched my ideal type. So to be honest, I was jealous. But we had to support each other’s love, so we just pretended to cheer each other on (laughs).” Regarding the couple she secretly pushed for, Park Na-eon said, “I‘m pushing the (Lee) Ji-yeon and Min-jae couple! I like that (Lee) Ji-yeon looks a little bold. I heard that the ’Arab-looking‘ type likes the ’tofu-looking‘ type, but Ji-yeon and Min-jae are Arab, Arab! They’re both tall, so they look great together.”

She also asked for a word of advice for those who want to appear on ‘Transfer Romance.’ Kwak Min-jae said, “There‘s no place where the cameras aren’t! Even the quiet whispers are all recorded!” Jo Hwi-hyun said, “I hope you don‘t get discouraged. It could just be me, but everyone is older than me, has a good job, and is stylish. That’s why I was so intimidated. I feel like I didn‘t show off my charm very well, which I regret,” he said, giving practical advice. Jeong Hye-im said, “If you’re going to go out, I think it‘d be better to go with the person you loved the most. I think it’s more meaningful to be with the person you really cherish.”

Lastly, about what ‘Transfer Romance‘ left me with, Kim Kwang-tae said with a laugh, “A strong mentality, plotting, and memes. I just did and said things because I liked the person, but I didn‘t know it would be considered ‘plotting’,” and Lee Hye-sun said, “Strength. While filming, I encountered a lot of diverse and complex emotions and situations that I would never experience in my life. “I think I became stronger in the process of overcoming that,” he said of his appearance on the show.
