Actress Park So-dam expressed her special feelings toward Lee Jung-eun.

On the morning of the 27th, a production report conference for the film 'Gyeongju Journey' (directed by Kim Mi-jo) was held at Lotte Cinema Gwangjang-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Jung-eun, Gong Hyo-jin, Park So-dam, Lee Yeon, and director Kim Mi-jo attended the event.

The film 'Gyeongju Journey' tells the story of a mother and her three daughters who embark on a journey of revenge after eight years of waiting for their youngest daughter, Gyeongju, who never returned from a school trip.

Lee Jung-eun played Ok-sil, a woman who lost her daughter in the film and lived for eight years waiting for revenge, while Park So-dam took on the role of Young-ju, the second daughter.

Lee Jung-eun and Park So-dam reunited after their roles in 'Parasite' to portray a mother-daughter relationship once again.

Lee Jung-eun said, "During 'Parasite,' I felt like slapping her every time I saw (Park So-dam's) face. She was constantly trying to push me out." She added, "When Park So-dam wasn't feeling well, we traveled together and met frequently. I wanted to work with her again once she recovered. Fortunately, this time we were able to play a family sharing affection in the film. I think it's a special kind of fate that she became my second daughter."

Park So-dam shared, "I also remember the scenes filmed during 'Parasite.' She told me, 'Please move over,' and pushed me away. Even while filming, we understood each other well. After I fell ill, I received a lot of help from her during my recovery."

Park So-dam continued, "She took care of me like a real mother. It was difficult for me to tell my family or even my mother how sick I truly was, but I could open up to her. Even if she worried, I showed signs of hardship and shared everything with her. She came to my house in the early hours just to listen to my story. Meeting as a mother and daughter is wonderful in itself. She has always been an incredibly grateful senior to me, and I feel I must do my best for the rest of my life."

Previously, Park So-dam fought papillary thyroid cancer in 2021.

Meanwhile, 'Gyeongju Journey' is scheduled for release on August 26.
