Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun Was Worried About Starring In “Love And Leashes”—Here’s Why

Girls’ Generation‘s Seohyun and Lee Junyoung (U-KISS‘s Jun) have been announced to star in a BDSM-centric K-Drama titled Love And Leashes, and everybody is excited to see the series premiere soon!

At a recent press conference for the K-Drama, Seohyun, Lee Junyoung and the director Park Hyun Jin answered questions about their upcoming project!

Regarding filming for the show, Seohyun shared that she was actually worried about how it would go, because at first, Lee Junyoung was shy and wouldn’t meet her eyes! But all her worries were put to rest when they began filming, after which they got along well!

At first, I was worried because I felt like Lee Junyoung was shy around me. He couldn’t meet my eyes … I thought to myself, ‘Is he scared because I’m his senior?’

Within the first few hours of shooting, however, I realized that my worries were unfounded because he was so passionate and hard-working. He exuded positive energy, which was really helpful for me acting alongside him.

Seohyun also commented on her decision to challenge herself with her role in the series, and talked about empathizing with her character the more she learned about her.

It was a role that made me want to take up the challenge as an actor. By peeking into the hidden life of Ji Woo’s character, I was able to empathize with the character. I think other people will also be empathetic toward the character.

Love And Leashes is slated to be released on Netflix on February 11. Are you excited for it?
