On October 8, Jung So Min had an interview with Korean media after the drama "Love Next Door" ended.
The actress recalled her awkward first meeting with Jung Hae In: “During our first meeting, we didn’t say a word to each other except for a hello. At the second dinner, I sat next to him, but he didn’t even turn to look at me. We were both silent because of awkwardness.
After that, due to the pressure from the people around us, we talked a little but the conversation quickly decreased. I think I was in big trouble because Jung Hae In and I acted as childhood friends.
But when the four of us read the script together and had time to get to know each other, it helped a lot when filming started.”
Jung Hae In and Jung So Min have been rumored to be dating because of their good chemistry and affectionate gestures in behind-the-scenes scenes, as well as many photos taken together on social media.
Jung So Min denied the dating rumors with her co-star and explained, “For me, it is important to always have good cooperation with the actors, and I try to combine the parts as best as possible. I always think that this will help the drama's story flow smoothly and create synergy.
This time too, I didn't do it alone, because it depends on how the other person reacts and how open they are. But luckily, Hae In did the same. So I think we had good chemistry."
Previously, in an interview, when asked about dating rumors with Jung So Min, Jung Hae In refused to answer, making the audience even more curious about their real relationship.
But this time, Jung So Min directly denied the dating rumors: "It's not true that we're dating. I don't feel awkward about this rumor. The most important thing is to make a good movie."
One of the things that fueled the rumors about the two was the very close, compatible behind-the-scenes photos that the two actors shared on their social media accounts.
Regarding this, Jung So Min said, “In the past, I didn’t usually take photos while filming. However, if there was someone taking the lead in the action, I would follow suit.
On the first day of filming, there was a photo booth right in front of the filming location. It all started when Jung Hae In asked to take a photo to commemorate the first filming. And from then on, whenever there was a photo booth near the location, I would say “Let’s go” and it became a habit.”
Besides, Jung So Min expressed sympathy with the audience when many people regretted the ending of the film. She herself also regretted not having a wedding scene with Jung Hae In.
Jung So Min called Jung Hae In “a partner I want to meet again.” The actress shared, “Our chemistry was so good that it was a shame that it ended with just one project. I also hope that one day we will be able to work together again.”
