Kang Sora shared about the completely different charms of ZE:A′s Im Si Wan and Kang Ha Neul.
Having acted as ‘Ahn Young Yi’ in tvN’s Misaeng, Kang Sora revealed the actual personalities of Im Si Wan and Kang Ha Neul during the media day event that took place on December 23 in a café in Yonsan-gu.
Kang Sora previously said during the press conference of Misaeng on October 6, “Jang Geu Rae (Im Si Wan) has an unexpected charm and Jang Baek Gi (Kang Ha Neul) seems tough but is soft on the inside,” adding, “Jang Geu Rae seems to be naïve but he is talented and it seems like he is serious but he actually has a playful side. He has that kind of double-sidedness. In the case of Jang Baek Gi, I feel a bit more maternal toward him.”
On this day, Kang Sora revealed what she thinks of Im Si Wan and Kang Ha Neul after working with them for two months. Kang Sora said, “Both (Im Si Wan and Kang Ha Neul) are not like (how I imagined them to be during the press conference),” bringing out laughter.
Kang Sora then said, “I didn’t get Kang Ha Neul’s sense of humor. Every time he told a joke on the set, it was so corny that everyone around had lukewarm responses. The only person who would laugh at his jokes was Byun Yo Han oppa. So they are very close to each other. They really got along well,” bringing out further laughter.
Then Kang Sora said, “Im Si Wan oppa and I connected better. But it was very different with Kang Ha Neul. I felt like it would be really awkward for us to be alone together.”
About getting closer to Kang Ha Neul than Im Si Wan towards the end of Misaeng, Kang Sora said, “When a man and woman are together, they can’t help but to have some feelings for each other. In the beginning of the drama, I think Ahn Young Yi was more focused on Jang Geu Rae’s unexpected qualities. Although he was being singled out by the other interns due to the rumors saying that he was hired through his personal connection, she focused on the fact that he is more than that after watching Jang Geu Rae (nearby).”
Kang Sora said, “But after Jang Geu Rae got used to his team, there was no need for Ahn Young Yi to give him advice anymore. She felt more sympathy towards Jang Baek Gi, who was perfect when he was an intern, but got into trouble here and there once he became officially hired. Ahn Young Yi also struggled to get along with the seniors of her team in the beginning."
She added, “He was the one that went through the most similar experience as Ahn Young Yi during the learning process. That’s how I understood Ahn Young Yi’s heart towards Jang Baek Gi.”
About choosing to star in Misaeng because it had less weight on romance, Kang Sora said, “It’s because my previous projects focused too much on romance. So I personally felt more comfortable with this project. The more romance there is in a project, the emotions get more explosive, and in the case of actresses (depending on their characters), the emotions go back and forth.”
Based on writer Yoon Tae Ho’s webtoon series of the same name, tvN’s Misaeng is a project that depicts the competition and sorrows of the employees at the general trading company, One International. Kang Sora acted as the ‘alpha girl’ female employee who joins the company along with Jang Geu Rae (Im Si Wan), Jang Baek Gi (Kang Ha Neul) and Han Seok Yul (Byun Yo Han).
The 20-episode drama Misaeng ended on December 20 with Jang Geu Rae parting with his colleagues at One International, after failing to switch to a permanent position at the company. Later, he joins the company headed by Oh Sang Shik (Lee Sung Min), Kim Dong Shik (Kim Dae Myung) and Kim Boo Ryun (Kim Jong Soo), marking a new beginning.
