• SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Model Taxi 3' interviewed actress Pyo Ye-jin

Actor Pyo Ye-jin expressed her affection for Lee Je-hoon and other members of Rainbow Transportation.

Pyo Ye-jin recently held a round interview at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul to commemorate the end of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Model Taxi 3" (written by Oh Sang-ho/directed by Kang Bo-seung).

"Exemplary Taxi 3" is a private revenge act in which the mysterious taxi company Rainbow Transportation and taxi driver Kim Do-ki complete revenge on behalf of the wrongful victim, based on the webtoon of the same name, and was loved a lot as season 1 of 2021 and season 2 of 2023 aired.

Over the course of the season, taxi driver Kim Do-ki (played by Lee Je-hoon) has established himself as a more powerful dark hero, and rainbow transportation employees who defeat villains also boasted their ever-improving teamwork. In particular, Pyo Ye-jin received favorable reviews for showing her "sweet and salty" charm by raising sharp tension through acting that stands out.

Pyo Ye-jin won the Excellence Award with "Model Taxi 3" at the "2025 SBS Acting Awards" held on December 31 last year. Lee Je-hoon won the grand prize for this drama, and this year's drama award was also given to "Model Taxi 3."

In response, Pyo Ye-jin said, "I really didn't think of the Excellence Award. This time, I thought we would receive an award related to the 'Team', but I was very happy to win the 'Drama of the Year' award rather than an individual award. Originally, I was going to have an after-party, but the awards ceremony ended late, so everyone was tired, so I just left work," he recalled of the ceremony.

In particular, Lee Je-hoon held two objects in his arms only with the "model taxi" series. When asked if he expected his grand prize, Pyo Ye-jin said, "I expected (Lee Je-hoon) to receive the grand prize." "I was very moved to see my brother (Lee Je-hoon) express his acceptance speech because he was so moved," he said.

"I felt great while watching (Lee Je-hoon)," he said. "Of course, I have a duty and responsibility to do as the main character, but I didn't feel like I was doing just that much. In addition to acting on the spot, he discussed the whole thing together and talked about small props to see if there were any shortcomings. It was a reassuring presence. I was sorry and thankful that I played my brother's role so well. I naturally thought I should be such a leader," he said, expressing his trust in Lee Je-hoon.

Spending five years together, Lee Je-hoon's friendship with Kim Eui-sung (played by Jang Sung-chul), Jang Hyuk-jin (played by Choi Joo-im), and Bae Yoo-ram (played by Park Joo-im) became strong. Pyo Ye-jin said, "I think the chemistry has accumulated as time has passed. I was very playful because the guys took it so comfortably. The members said, "Yejin got older, too. "I teased you, saying, 'You have to take care of this and that now,'" he laughed, recalling the scene.

Then, he said, "Now I think I've lived like brothers who can't eat." (Kim) Eui-sung is actually such a senior to me, but thank you for making the scene comfortable," he added.
