Actress Im Ji-yeon revealed behind-the-scenes footage from her collaboration with Heo Nam-jun in the drama 'Beautiful World'.

On the 11th, the production team of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' released a trailer titled 'Actress Im Ji-yeon welcomes the beautiful world with acting magic tricks' on its official YouTube channel.

In the released video, Yoo Jae-suk commented on Im Ji-yeon's renewed attention due to her role in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Beautiful World', saying, "I can't stop smiling at times like this." Im Ji-yeon laughed, replying, "I'm riding the wave when it comes."

When asked why she chose 'Beautiful World', she explained, "I wanted to do comedy acting. I have a desire to make people laugh, and I believe I'm quite funny myself."

Yoo Jae-suk remarked, "I know Im Ji-yeon is truly funny. I laughed a lot at the scene where she suddenly pulls out a plant and hits someone." Im Ji-yeon proudly replied, "That was my idea." She added, "Later, because I kept suggesting ideas, the director started acting in all sorts of colorful ways."

She also mentioned Heo Nam-jun, with whom she shares the screen in 'Beautiful World'. She said, "I thought the male lead in a rom-com must be handsome. I believed it was important for him to act charmingly, look sexy, or appear handsome. For Seori (played by Im Ji-yeon) to survive, Seok (played by Heo Nam-jun) must survive. During filming, I said, 'I gave up on this role,' and 'Do you know you're getting all the lighting right now?' Heo Nam-jun is such a charming actor. I hoped that charm would be captured well."

Finally, Im Ji-yeon confessed about the anxieties and concerns she faced as an actress, stating, "I made a glamorous debut with the film 'Human Addiction' when I was a newcomer, but I had nothing to do the next day. I often wondered, 'Am I in a strange position?'"

Meanwhile, 'You Quiz on the Block', featuring Im Ji-yeon, will air on the 17th at 8:45 p.m.
