Chun Woo Hee Confesses Jang Ki Yong's Age 'Bothered Her a Lot' + What's Her Reason?
Ahead of "The Atypical Family" release date, lead stars Jang Ki Yong and Chun Woo Hee appeared as guests on the YouTube show "Salon Drip 2," hosted by Jang Do Yeon.

As mentioned in a report, Jang Ki Yong "liked" Chun Woo Hee "very much" and was thrilled to be working with her.
"She was a senior actress that I always wanted to collaborate with."
Moreover, the actor said that he has seen how his co-star played "strong characters" in her previous works, "but her real-life image was the opposite."
Jang Ki Yong also described Chun Woo Hee as someone who is "so gentle and understanding."
The same went for the actress, revealing that Jang Ki Yong "was warm-hearted externally," even if it was their first encounter.
"He was quiet and hardworking, and he got along with people in a friendly manner."
However, Chun Woo Hee confessed that Jang Ki Yong's age kind of bugged her because of their age difference.
"And it was my first time working with someone younger than me. It bothered me a lot."
"The Atypical Family" lead actress is 37, while her co-star is 31, who has successfully completed his military service in February 2023, making the upcoming K-drama his first project after military discharge.
