Shin Min Ah, Kim Seon Ho, And Lee Sang Yi Talk About Their Chemistry In "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha," And More

The premiere of Shin Min Ah and Kim Seon Ho’s upcoming drama is quickly approaching!

On August 24, tvN’s “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” held an online press conference featuring Shin Min Ah, Kim Seon Ho, Lee Sang Yi, and director Yoo Je Won.

A remake of the film “Mr. Hong,” the romance drama stars Shin Min Ah as Yoon Hye Jin, a dentist who moves from Seoul to the seaside village of Gongjin, and Kim Seon Ho as Hong Doo Shik, an odd-jobs expert who helps everyone around town. Lee Sang Yi plays Ji Sung Hyun, a variety show PD known for creating warm content about people’s everyday lives.

Even ahead of the premiere, Shin Min Ah and Kim Seon Ho are generating lots of buzz for their romantic chemistry. Shin Min Ah expressed her satisfaction in their work together, commenting, “As there’s so much anticipation, rather than feeling pressured, I gained strength to film. Kim Seon Ho has such a good personality and is the type to make you feel comfortable. [Through this project] I wanted to show a flexible image and he responded to that well. To me, I think we match well.”

Kim Seon Ho agreed and added, “I talked about this with Lee Sang Yi but Shin Min Ah has an open and generous mind. She accepts anything. That’s why every moment was enjoyable. She always comes with fun ideas and implements them. It was so fun and we laughed a lot.”

The two leads are already being coined the ‘dimple couple’ for their similar smiles and Kim Seon Ho commented, “Isn’t there a vibe when we take photos together? It became a source of strength that people said we looked good together. It felt good to hear that our images overlapped.”

The director also expressed his happiness with the duo, explaining, “My satisfaction with their chemistry is very high. They call it their ‘visual chemistry’ and even the camera director said that the balance of their two-shot was so good. The actors’ facial expressions looked so comfortable both when filming and when not. My satisfaction [with the actors] is so high, to the point where I figured there wouldn’t be a lot for me to do.”

Lee Sang Yi also discussed the comfortable atmosphere on set, sharing, “I always think that I should do projects where I can form long-lasting relationships, but I think this is the one I’ll make the most through.”

He continued, “While filming, I’m learning a lot from Kim Seon Ho and I’ve often thought, ‘A senior [actor] really is a senior.’ Shin Min Ah is a great person with a big heart and open mind. She set out the foundation for me to have as much fun as I want. It was such an enjoyable set.”

To conclude, director Yoo Je Won shared, “I hope you watch this as a healing drama that slowly draws you in. For starters, it’s fun, and I think it’ll turn out really pretty because it was filmed by the ocean. I hope people watch with a comfortable heart and look upon it comfortably and cutely.”

“Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” premieres on August 28 at 9 p.m. KST. Check out a teaser here!
