It has been revealed that the child actor scenes of Heo Nam-jun and Chae Seo-an in 'Brave New World' were completely edited out, drawing attention from netizens.
On May 31, an SNS account operated by Lee Seo-jeong's mother revealed behind-the-scenes footage of Lee Seo-jeong filming SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Brave New World'. She had played the child version of Chae Seo-an, the matchmaking girl for Heo Nam-jun (played by Cha Se-gye and Lee Hyun).
In particular, Lee Seo-jeong's mother even released the script for that scene. It turned out that the setting was that Cha Se-gye and Mo Tae-hee had a hidden connection from their childhood, which caught attention. The scene included young Cha Se-gye reaching out and asking, "Are you okay?" while young Mo Tae-hee replied, "Get lost." This highlighted the consistent charm of the 'villain chaebol' Cha Se-gye character and elicited laughter.
However, the storyline involving young Cha Se-gye and Mo Tae-hee was decided to be completely edited out, so it cannot be seen on broadcast. Lee Seo-jeong's mother explained, "'Brave New World,' which I prepared with excitement after being the first pick in the audition for the role of young Tae-hee. Unfortunately, Seo-jeong's scenes were ultimately edited out due to production time constraints and cannot be seen on broadcast."
Nevertheless, Lee Seo-jeong's mother said, "I'm not without some sadness, but I learned another lesson through this experience. While only the results of hard work remain with me, the time and experience of taking on the challenge will surely accumulate within Seo-jeong, right?! After being picked, I practiced nine lines of dialogue for a long time. Standing on the set, acting in front of the camera, and gaining on-site experience with good staff and older actors became precious memories that no one could edit out."
She continued, "Although one work has passed, I am currently filming another work, so I'm cheering myself on. I think the regret is part of the growth process and will shake it off."
Meanwhile, 'Brave New World' broke through the 10th% viewership rating thanks to the romantic comedy chemistry between Im Ji-yeon (playing Shin Seo-ri and Kang Dan-sim) and Heo Nam-jun, creating a box office boom in living rooms. The drama consists of 14 episodes in total, with the ninth episode scheduled to air on the 5th at 9:50 p.m.
