Actress Yeom Jeong-ah is expected to captivate viewers with her groundbreaking transformation into an ‘all-time villain’ who shows absolute evil.

ENA new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘I Shopping ‘, which will be aired for the first time at 10 PM on the 21st, is an action thriller that depicts the desperate survival and revenge of children who barely survived on the brink of death after being abandoned by their adoptive parents.

Yeom Jeong-ah plays Kim Se-hee, the director of a large hospital and a charity foundation.On the surface, she is a respected celebrity in the medical field, but in reality, she is the real leader of an illegal adoption organization.She runs a shocking business called’ eye shopping ‘under the twisted belief that only superior genes should survive, and she does not hesitate to commit unethical acts to achieve her goals.

Amidst anticipation for how Yeom Jeong-ah will portray such an unconventional character, today(the 7th)she shared the reason she chose’ Eye Shopping ‘and her thoughts ahead of its first broadcast.”The material was fresh, and it was a work that gave me a lot of room to fill as an actor,” she said.”The dramatic narrative of the active growth of children with wounds was the reason I took on the challenge, and the fact that I could play the intense character of’ absolute evil ‘within it.”

Yeom Jeong-ah chose three keywords to describe the character of’ Kim Se-hee ‘:’ duality ‘,’ absolute evil ‘, and’ complex ‘.She said, “These words may sound somewhat negative, but they mean that she is a complex and evil character,” adding, “I was able to feel pleasure while acting out the duality of Se-hee.”

Yeom Jeong-ah also said about the part she focused on the most while acting, “I played a villain in my previous work, so I thought hard about how to create a character with a slightly different ending.” She continued, “Based on the premise that Se-hee is not a simple villain, I had many discussions with the director, writer, and production staff so that the viewers could understand why she became a monster.”

He expressed affection for Won Jin-ah and Kim Jin-young, who he worked with.”Both actors are really lovely, and they are juniors who make me happy just by looking at them.Not only is Jin-ah a great actress, but she is always full of energy, and she really played the role of the mood maker on set.” He continued, “As for Jin-young, he may not be used to acting or filming, but he was impressive because he approached it with sincerity.I think he will become a great actor in the future.”

Lastly, he said, “This is a solid piece of work that many actors and production staff have worked hard to build up,” and added, “I am confident that this will be an enjoyable piece where you can especially discover the charms of young actors.Please show lots of interest in’ I Shopping,’” and did not forget to greet the drama fans.
