Actress Gong Hyo-jin revealed why her happiness has grown even greater since marrying Kevin Oh.

On the afternoon of the 19th, Gong Hyo-jin held an interview for the film "Gyeongju Journey" (directed by Kim Mi-jo) at a café in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, sharing various insights about the work.

"Gyeongju Journey" is a family revenge drama about four women who embark on a journey of "killing" after eight years of waiting for their youngest daughter, "Gyeongju," who never returned from a school trip. Gong Hyo-jin played Jang-ju, the eldest of three daughters who lost her younger sister Gyeongju in the film, delivering a powerful performance.

Gong Hyo-jin said, "I've been an actress for a long time. In the past, after finishing a project, I would constantly see my flaws. But these days, when I look back at my old works, I find them so cute and touching. At that time, I thought it was a period where I had to keep developing, but I don't think I truly enjoyed those moments." She added, "Now that I'm older, I feel more at ease. Since turning forty, I've come to believe that if I'm happy now, there's no need to worry about the next project. In the past, I prioritized my career, but now I prioritize my happiness. I want to share this message with younger actresses as well."

Gong Hyo-jin appears to have gained even more inner peace than before. When asked if she feels slightly more at ease since marrying Kevin Oh, she smiled and replied, "I think so."

Gong Hyo-jin said, "In the past, my parents were always busy no matter what I did, often saying things like 'Hyo-jin, you're too busy and overwhelmed.' But after getting married, didn't our family double in size (including my husband's family)? While I've had a special job as a daughter since starting my career, now that I'm an ordinary daughter-in-law, I think I'm trying harder to become an ordinary daughter to my own parents." She continued, "My family in the U.S. is also very large. So when my drama does well and people send congratulations, I told my husband the same thing. It feels like the joy and abundance I feel from my work succeeding has multiplied many times over. I was so grateful."

Gong Hyo-jin added, "My husband asked why I was thanking him, and I said, 'I don't know. It just feels like my joy has doubled. You're happy, and my family in the U.S. is happy too.' This is an emotion my own family has experienced before, but for my new American family, it's their first time. So when more family members feel this joy, the happiness grows even larger, and our hearts become fuller and richer. I hope the drama continues to do well until the end. Now that we're fully diving into romance, please look forward to it even more."

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