Actress Lee Yeon shed tears in front of her role model, Choi Kang-hee.
On the 9th, the MBC variety program 'Full View' revealed for the first time the daily life of Lee Yeon, who is playing the role of a secretary in the drama '21st Century Grand Duchess'.
That day, when Song Eun-i asked, "So, someone who made Lee Yeon dream of becoming an actor has appeared?" Lee Yeon looked at Choi Kang-hee, who was sitting next to her, and became overcome with emotion, causing everyone to stir.

Lee Yeon said, "I really, really love the movie 'Aja'. It is a story about a mother and daughter. I lived only with my mom. When I was very young, my mom was a working mom, so we went to the movies every weekend, and that was our only date. I have a strong memory of watching 'Aja' then."
She continued, "The seed of my acting aspirations was 'Aja'. The emotions and stories it conveyed felt so alive to me. I thought, 'It would be wonderful to act like that,' and wiped away her tears."
Hearing this, Hong Hyun-hee suggested to Choi Kang-hee, "Give her a hug," but Choi Kang-hee covered her face with both hands, shyly saying, "I'm shy around strangers," and gently held Lee Yeon's hands, bringing a smile to her face.
