The pictorial for the interview was themed around a staycation with a senior co-worker, a concept Shin Ha Kyun humorously found challenging, saying, “How horrible that sounds. Going on a staycation with a senior co-worker? I can’t understand that because I never use the same room, not even with my manager.”

Reflecting on his co-star, Shin Ha Kyun praised Lee Jung Ha’s character and work ethic. “Jung Ha is kind, genuine, and works really hard. Since we met as fellow actors, we are in equal positions. We have our own roles. I share my thoughts when he asks them, but ultimately, acting is something you learn independently rather than being taught by someone else. I just guide him,” he explained.

Lee Jung Ha, who won Best New Actor at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, expressed his gratitude for the opportunities he has had since then. “I realized that I am shyer than I thought. I didn’t know this before because I hadn’t had many opportunities to stand in front of large groups. I’m trying to be more confident. I also want to change my disorganized speech. My ambitions are growing,” he shared.

He also admired Shin Ha Kyun’s sense of humor and professionalism, noting how he lightens the mood during long shoots. “He makes us laugh to lighten the mood when the shoots get long. Even then, he does it as that character, which is cool.” Lee Jung Ha added that Shin Ha Kyun is a great mentor who is always available to provide guidance. “No matter what opinions I offer, Shin Ha Kyun always suggests ways to approach it.”

“The Auditors,” featuring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Jung Ha, will premiere on July 6 at 9:20 p.m. KST and be available on Viki.

Kim Hee Sun, who played the role of family psychiatrist Noh Young Won, shared her deep connection with the character and the meaningful experiences she gained. ‘Bitter Sweet Hell’ was a truly meaningful project for me,” she said. “I experienced many emotions during filming, and it was a time during which I was able to grow while empathizing with many different characters. Noh Young Won was a learning opportunity for me. Young Won is not just a character who solves conflicts between family, but a character who grows by reflecting on her own emotions and life through that process.”

Lee Hye Young, who portrayed the mystery novelist Hong Sa Gang, shared her initial apprehension and subsequent joy in the project. “I was nervous and scared when I started ‘Bitter Sweet Hell,’ but as we began filming, I developed confidence and a feeling of accomplishment, so I filmed the drama happily and really enjoyed the experience. Everyone who participated in this drama was very intelligent, and I think it was a team full of respect and trust. I really think this was my first time being part of such an intellectual production.”

Kim Nam Hee, who played Choi Jae Jin, reminisced about the joyous filming experience. “Everything about filming the drama was happy and joyful, to the extent where I still feel sad about having to say goodbye to the rest of the cast and crew. I’m so sad about it ending that I wish they’d make a sequel because the drama did so well. Thank you for hating and loving the character of Jae Jin. I hope that ‘Bitter Sweet Hell’ was able to make you even briefly happy during these hot summer days, and I hope that you will always be happy and healthy.”

Yeonwoo expressed her honor and gratitude for being part of the cast. “It was an honor to be a part of this great drama and work together with actors whom I respect. I learned a lot on the filming set, and I’d like to work hard to become an actress whose acting has depth, just like my senior actors in the cast.”

2PM’s Chansung also shared his appreciation for the experience. “Being able to work together with such amazing actors, I really learned and felt a lot. I gained so much from the drama ‘Bitter Sweet Hell,’ which is both sincere and fun at the same time. Thank you to everyone who gave the drama love, and I’ll greet you with better projects in the future as well.”

Finally, DKZ’s Jaechan reflected on his growth and gratitude. “Starting from the beginning of filming, just being able to appear on screen together with these amazing actors was an honor in and of itself. I think this is a memory and experience of growth that I will never be able to forget. Even though Do Hyun lied and made others worry in the drama, thank you to the viewers for giving Do Hyun so much love. I’ll work hard to try to show you better things in the future as well.”
