Shin Ye-eun Radiates Affection for Kim Da-mi: 'A Precious Sister I Want to Cherish'

At the production presentation for JTBC's new drama '100 Times' Memory,' actress Shin Ye-eun openly expressed her deep admiration for co-star Kim Da-mi, sparking significant interest. The event, held at Conrad Seoul Hotel, was attended by director Kim Sang-ho and lead actors Kim Da-mi, Shin Ye-eun, and Heo Nam-jun.

'100 Times' Memory' is set in the vibrant 1980s and tells a retro-infused coming-of-age romance story revolving around the friendship between bus conductor Yeong-rye (Kim Da-mi) and Jong-hee (Shin Ye-eun), and the fated man Jae-pil (Heo Nam-jun).

Shin Ye-eun shared her experience working with Kim Da-mi, stating, "Kim Da-mi's calm and gentle demeanor greatly helped me adapt to the drama and develop my character, Jong-hee." She continued, "I often found myself in awe of Kim Da-mi's acting. I even talked about her frequently to my friends. Whenever I had concerns or worries about a scene while playing Jong-hee, just making eye contact with Kim Da-mi allowed me to immerse myself naturally, as if Jong-hee's feelings were naturally flowing. It felt like how Jong-hee came to love Yeong-rye, I found myself cheering for Kim Da-mi's life. It feels like I've gained a precious older sister whom I want to cherish," she conveyed with emotion.

'100 Times' Memory' is scheduled to premiere on the 13th at 10:40 PM.

Shin Ye-eun first gained attention with her debut in the web drama 'A-TEEN' in 2018. Since then, she has solidified her position as a rising actress by showcasing stable performances in various works such as 'He is Psychometric' and 'Welcome.' In '100 Times' Memory,' she is set to portray Jong-hee, a bus conductor in the 1980s, revealing a new facet of her acting.
