Actress Lee Jung-eun spoke about her role model, Chow Yun-fat.

On the 9th, Lee Jung-eun appeared as a guest on tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block.'

That day, Lee Jung-eun introduced herself by saying, "I am an actress with 36 years of experience this year."

Yoo Jae-suk remarked that Lee Jung-eun has about five more works scheduled to be released following 'Gyeongju Travel,' adding, "The phrase 'working really hard' fits her perfectly."

Lee Jung-eun explained that her role model was Chow Yun-fat: "In my third year of high school, I became captivated by 'A Better Tomorrow.' Wasn't he incredibly cool? (After seeing Chow Yun-fat) My friend went to the Chinese Language and Literature department, while I enrolled in the Theater and Film department. I thought, 'I should try something like this too.' He has always been my role model. Even after retiring, he took the subway and had his photo taken, which left a deep impression on me. I told myself that once I become famous, I must live life just like that."

Yoo Jae-suk joked, "Lee Jung-eun dreamed of acting because of Chow Yun-fat, and he even taught me how to smoke. While I should have learned other things from Brother Yun-fat, there were so many smoking scenes. But I've quit now," which drew laughter from the audience.

Lee Jung-eun revealed that she was not originally majoring in acting: "The reason my mother didn't oppose it was because she thought directing would look more stylish. At that time, many actors looked like actual actors. Since my face was ordinary, she said I could study directing instead. So I lied and told her I was studying directing."

Regarding her entry into the acting profession, she explained, "In my third year of university, I performed in a production called 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' at the school festival, playing the role of a fairy."
