Quickly, Jun Ji-Hyun chirped in and said, “I wasn’t even in the game to begin with. Honestly, it’s embarrassing to even talk about this. There was no rivalry.” She further pointed out their physical appearance and cracked a joke, “As you can tell just by the bust size, I was no match. From the start, I just respectfully acted as the junior colleague. I lost,” leaving everyone in splits of laughter.
Director of the movie, Choi Dong-Hoon, who was also one of the panelists of the press conference, shared some behind-the-scenes of what he saw between the two actresses. He said, “I worried about what would happen if Kim Hye Soo and Jun Ji Hyun clashed on set, or how I would mediate if they did. But thankfully, the two got along very well. I later learned they were college seniors and juniors. Watching them chat together always made me proud as a director.”
