Actress Lee Jeong-hyun has cast her daughter Seo-ah in her directorial work.
On the KBS2 show 'Newly Released Restaurant' (hereafter 'Restaurant'), which airs on the 5th, Lee Jeong-hyun's second independent film directing challenge will be revealed, along with Seo-ah's first acting challenge.
In the VCR released that day, Lee Jeong-hyun is seen waking up early on the day of the film shoot to prepare lunch boxes for the staff with great care.
At that moment, Seo-ah, who had just woken up, rushed over to her mother. Lee Jeong-hyun asked Seo-ah, "You have to act later. Do you think you can do well?" mentioning Seo-ah's acting challenge.
This film is Lee Jeong-hyun's graduate school thesis. She mentioned, "Since it's an independent film, we are shooting with a limited budget and asking acquaintances to do supporting roles," adding, "(There is a scene where the child has to act) so I asked Seo-ah, and she said she would give it a try. There is even one line of dialogue."
Seo-ah confidently said, "I want to do it like mom," and headed to the filming location with her mother, watching her mom's hard work on set with curiosity.
A little later, Seo-ah stood in front of the camera to perform her first-ever acting role. The scene required her to convey sad emotions, making it a challenging shoot. Lee Jeong-hyun and the 'Restaurant' crew all watched anxiously to see if Seo-ah could do well.
During Seo-ah's shoot, an unexpected variable occurred, causing everyone to feel nervous. After the shoot, staff members reportedly showered Seo-ah with praise, saying, "Seo-ah did great," raising expectations even higher.
Seo-ah's first acting challenge, inheriting her mother's DNA, will be revealed on 'Newly Released Restaurant.'
