On June 2, Lee Na-young had an interview with a news outlet about her recent work, Wavve's drama, 'One Day Off'.
The actress' first work in four years is a travelog of high school teacher 'Park Ha-kyung' (Lee Na-young) who tries to find herself by having occasional Saturday excursions when she gets fed up with everyday life.
Lee Na-young says she found it hard to hold back the tears when she was filming 'One Day Off'.
"I didn't know why I was crying when I was shooting. It was later when I saw it on screen that I realized why. Even when we are watching a stranger, I believe one can feel an emotional transfer. And to me, 'Park Ha-kyung' was not a stranger, she was close to my heart. I think I got so emotional because I was deeply connected to the character."
"Won Bin said that it suits me right. We watched it together and it came out better than I expected, with music and editing. We enjoyed watching it."
After the blockbuster 'The Man from Nowhere', her husband Won Bin has kept himself out of the spotlight for 13 years.
Starting his career in 1997, the exceptionally handsome star has an impressive but rather short filmography.
The fans have been anxiously waiting for his next work, other than a few commercials he has sparsely appeared in.
"I don't know why people are asking that to me.", she said.
However, she did deliver a piece of hopeful news.
"He's been reading scripts with focus and enthusiasm. He will eventually pick one of them. Please wait for the time being."
She was questioned about her own hiatus too.
"Four years, is it that long?", said Lee Na-young, as she was asked if her next work take as long as her previous one.
"I don't really plan how much time I'll take in between the works. I think we all have our own pace. I love movies, both watching them and being part of them. But it takes some time for me to make a decision and put it into action. There are many genres these days, and I'd want to try some. I'll try.", the actress concluded, laughing.
