Jul 28, 2024

JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong got honest about his experience filming his upcoming drama “Bad Memory Eraser”!

“Bad Memory Eraser” is a new MBN romance drama about a man whose life changes due to a memory eraser and the woman who holds his fate in her hands. Kim Jae Joong will star as Lee Kun, who was once a promising tennis player but lost his self-esteem and confidence after an injury. Jin Se Yeon will star as neuropsychiatrist Kyung Joo Yeon, who unintentionally winds up becoming Lee Kun’s fake first love through memory manipulation.

As “Bad Memory Eraser” marks Kim Jae Joong’s first true foray into comic acting, he confessed, “There were many times when I suddenly became self-conscious and embarrassed while acting. I was especially embarrassed when I had to act while nearly nude in front of dozens of crew members.”

However, he noted, “There’s a strong comedy element, but there are also many serious sides to the drama, so it felt like I was playing multiple roles.”

“I hope that [‘Bad Memory Eraser’] becomes a drama that is fun to watch while also touching viewers’ hearts,” he added.

Kim Jae Joong went on to recall, “While filming the scene where I talk to the dog Cola, I messed up a lot of takes because I kept bursting out laughing. However, I can confidently say that Cola is the main culprit who messed up more takes than I did.”

Kim Jae Joong also talked about what it was like to work with his co-stars Jin Se Yeon and Lee Jong Won, who plays his on-screen brother.

“Jin Se Yeon has the ability to brighten the filming set with her presence,” said Kim Jae Joong. “She never stops smiling, and she is very focused while acting, so I had a lot to learn from her. Kyung Joo Yeon’s comic acting in the drama is especially top-notch, so make sure you don’t miss it.”

As for Lee Jong Won, Kim Jae Joong remarked, “He’s the cutie pie of the filming set. I was impressed by his flexibility during filming, and we’ve now become close like friends.”

When asked about similarities between his character and his real-life personality, Kim Jae Joong emphasized that they were very different when it came to romance. “I’m definitely not the bold-pursuit type,” shared the actor.

Describing “Bad Memory Eraser” as a story of growth, Kim Jae Joong concluded, “It’s a drama full of many different kinds of emotion: when you’re frustrated, it can give you a refreshing feeling, and when you feel empty, it can fill you up. I hope that you’ll tune in.”
