Actress Chae Won-bin of 'Omaejin' shared her honest thoughts on being tagged as 'Han Suk-kyu's daughter.'

On the 1st, Chae Won-bin met with StarNews at the Outer Universe headquarters in Seoul Gangnam-gu and discussed the recently concluded SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Omaejin' (script by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon).

'Omaejin' is a romance drama depicting the story of perfectionist farmer Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo-seop) and sell-out show host Dam Ye-jin (played by Chae Won-bin), who get entangled day and night. In the drama, Chae Won-bin plays the role of show host Dam Ye-jin.

Regarding this work, Chae Won-bin said, "This is a work that really trained me a lot and nurtured me," revealing her special affection. She added, "There were so many new things. It was a work that awakened my small muscles and residual muscles."

Having successfully completed her first romance comedy, expectations for her next project are also rising. Chae Won-bin said, "I want to do a romance comedy again," and added, "If you wait for me, I hope to be with a good work. Currently, I am preparing for a historical drama. I am also preparing for the historical drama with a new mindset."

She also opened up about her honest feelings regarding the growing public expectations directed at her with each work. Chae Won-bin said, "I try my best not to show such reactions. When I act, there are many moments where I have to fight with myself. If I feel burdened by such external factors, I think it will become difficult for me to think on my own," and added, "Still, it is a great honor and I am grateful that they think of me that way."

She also shared her thoughts on the tag 'Han Suk-kyu's daughter' gained through past works. Chae Won-bin played the role of Jang Ha-bin, the daughter of Jang Tae-soo (played by Han Suk-kyu), in the MBC drama 'Such an Intimate Betrayal,' which concluded in 2024. She also won the MBC Drama Awards New Actress Award that year.

Regarding the tag 'Han Suk-kyu's daughter,' Chae Won-bin said, "I really like my senior, so I am happy about it," but also confessed, "While I feel good about it, I think more about my senior than myself. Of course, my senior wouldn't mind at all, but as a junior, I sometimes feel a bit sorry."

When asked if there is a tag she wants to gain in the future, she stated her conviction: "In the same vein as what I just said, if I feel burdened by external factors, it becomes difficult, so I would prefer not to have any tags."
