Q. Awarded the Excellence Award at the year-end awards ceremony...
How do you feel?
[Kim Ji-eun/Actor: First of all, I think it's something I'm really grateful for.
It was the moment when I made a commitment to repay you with really good acting this year along with the belief that I am progressing well as an actor.
Thank you very much again.]
Q. Consistently worked on projects last year…
What if there is a driving force?
[Kim Ji-eun/Actor: When I first started acting, there was really nothing and I started with passion, but now when I compare it with the time when I enjoyed it without fear, I asked if I was doing well or if I was enjoying it without fear and really passionately. In order not to be ashamed of myself, I think I am continuing to work more steadily.
I think I keep trying.]
Q. The proportion of roles continues to grow...
Wasn't it burdensome?
[Kim Ji-eun/Actor: It is true that the more the weight, the more things to do.
I think there is a sense of pressure and weight no matter what character I take on.
Thanks to that, I think I may not be lazy, and I think that such a burden and responsibility is a feeling that I should naturally feel.]
Q. 'Agenma' character emotional change...
how did you express it?
[Kim Ji-eun/Actress: In fact, the character Hee-ah is a character who adds a little bit of flavor rather than a character who makes the taste.
So it was true that it was a bit difficult, but that's why it was more interesting and I thought about the character more intensely. I made a suggestion, so I boldly cut my hair, and in the case of makeup, I showed a change by using sharp, dark and low colors. I think I expressed it by showing it as a character, I.]

Q. 'Agenma' advances to OTT in Japan...
Is the reaction hot?
[Kim Ji-eun/Actress: I received a lot of love in Korea, and I am so grateful that you gave me such great love in Japan.
I hope you will love our Again My Life and that actress Kim Ji-eun until the end.
Q. A new character in 'Cheongbyeon'...
What did you care about?
[Kim Ji-eun / Actor: Actually, you may have seen and felt me for a brief moment, but I am very nervous.
When I'm nervous, I tend to get scared when it comes to expressing it, but when I first read Marie through text, I thought she was a very lovable friend when she boldly expressed it and expressed it a little more prominently. It looks embarrassing, so I put a lot of thought into telling me not to be afraid in front of the camera and to do it boldly.]

Q. Are there any works that you feel have grown up on your own?
[Kim Ji-eun/Actor: I said in an interview that I was experiencing growing pains while working on a work called Black Sun. There was.
So, once again, I felt my limits, and ah, it was a work that hurt me a lot and grew a lot.]

Q. Co-stars Namgoong Min and Lee Joon Gi...
how did it help
[Kim Ji-eun/Actor: (Helpful part) It's very large.
First of all, in the case of Namgoong Min sunbaenim, you said that I just felt growing pains.
If it wasn't for seniors, I wouldn't have known that I had grown up so belatedly, and I would have just been in pain.
He calmly told me what I needed and what I didn't need, and when I worked hard, he encouraged me a lot, so he really helped me a lot, and senior Lee Joon-gi also said that I can enjoy it only when I'm relaxed and comfortable, but it's such a comfortable environment You made it really well often.
So, seeing me trying to do well, he was a senior who taught me that it’s okay to do poorly, and that it’s OK to do things while enjoying a little bit, so from a certain point on, when I was with him, I was enjoying every moment.
So, both of them have been a great source of strength for me.]
Q. What are your New Year's goals and dreams you want to achieve in the future?
[Kim Ji-eun/Actor: As for the New Year's goal, I want to show better acting while spending a healthy year in body and mind.
My goal as an actor is to become a solid actor.
Whenever and wherever I look back like this, I want to become an actor who keeps thinking about me and thinking that I am standing still.]
