Lim Ji Yeon was afraid of acting with Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee

According to Hankook Ilbo, Lim Ji Yeon is also known by the nickname "collectible actress", when she had the opportunity to act with many famous female stars such as Song Hye Kyo in "The Glory", Kim Tae Hee in "Lies Hidden In My Garden" and currently Jeon Do Yeon in the movie "Revolver".

In a recent interview, Lim Ji Yeon revealed that one of the important reasons that motivated her to participate in the work “Revolver” was because she was a big fan of Jeon Do Yeon, and was a big fan of the movie “The Shameless” (2015) starring Jeon Do Yeon, directed by Oh Seung Wook (also the director of “Revolver”).

“I wanted to join “Revolver” so I could work with senior Jeon Do Yeon and director Oh Seung Wook and learn from them,” Lim Ji Yeon emphasized.

When she was a university student, Lim Ji Yeon even called herself "Jeon Do Yeon of Korea University of Arts" because she admired her senior so much and wanted to become an excellent actress like Jeon Do Yeon.

The actress born in 1990 expressed her admiration for Jeon Do Yeon: "When I was a student, my senior went to Cannes and became an influential actress with great charisma. I want to learn from her and I want to be like her. It's an honor to work with her on the same film project."

When the reporter mentioned Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee, Lim Ji Yeon humorously said, "They are heavenly seniors (hard to reach). It would be a lie if I said I wasn't scared when acting with them. Even though I prepared a lot, I was still scared because I had to film with tension."

The villain Park Yeon Jin in the TV series "The Glory" is considered Lim Ji Yeon's lifelong character and there are opinions that the actress will have a hard time overcoming that shadow.

But Lim Ji Yeon expressed, "If you watch the drama, you can see that Jung Yoon Sun of 'Revolver' and Park Yeon Jin of 'The Glory' are completely different.

“The Glory” is a really good work. I also received a lot of love as Park Yeon Jin. You can say that no matter what I do, there is still Yeon Jin's shadow. But I am confident that in the future, I will continue to break down Yeon Jin's wall.”

In addition, Lim Ji Yeon said that she wants to try different film genres in the future, such as action films.

Meanwhile, “Revolver” will officially hit theaters in Korea from August 7. The film tells the story of a former police officer named Ha Soo Young (Jeon Do Yeon), who was imprisoned for a crime. After being released, she devotes her life to a single goal of revenge.

Lim Ji Yeon plays Jung Yoon Sun, also known as “Madam Jung” from the nightclub involved in Soo Young’s corruption case. Yoon Sun is also the only person who visits Soo Young on the day she is released from prison.
