During the conference, one of the reporters present there asked Kim Hye-Soo whether there were any rivalry regarding onscreen looks with another actress Jun Ji-Hyun, who co-starred with her in the movie, The Thieves. To this, Hye-Soo shared, “There was no competition. I never once thought of competing with Jun Ji Hyun in terms of beauty. Every time I saw her, I was amazed. She’s so lovable and beautiful, I didn’t even dare to think of it as a contest.”
Quickly, Jun Ji-Hyun chirped in and said, “I wasn’t even in the game to begin with. Honestly, it’s embarrassing to even talk about this. There was no rivalry.” She further pointed out their physical appearance and cracked a joke, “As you can tell just by the bust size, I was no match. From the start, I just respectfully acted as the junior colleague. I lost,” leaving everyone in splits of laughter.
Director of the movie, Choi Dong-Hoon, who was also one of the panelists of the press conference, shared some behind-the-scenes of what he saw between the two actresses. He said, “I worried about what would happen if Kim Hye Soo and Jun Ji Hyun clashed on set, or how I would mediate if they did. But thankfully, the two got along very well.
