Joo Hyun-young recalls nerves interviewing Son Heung-min

Actor Joo Hyun-young said she felt nervous while interviewing footballer Son Heung-min, recalling the experience on the July 13 broadcast of SBS TV variety show 'uh, but like, seriously!'.

When comedian Lee Su-ji asked whether she ever gets nervous, Joo said, 'I am not a comedian, but I am always nervous that I may not be funny.'

As the conversation turned to her interview with Son, Joo said, 'I felt it for the first time then. There was an aura from someone who had reached that position.' She said she kept stammering while trying to speak.

Joo said Son jokingly told her, 'Please do it properly,' and that she panicked. Her account framed the moment as a nervous reaction during the interview.

Lee also mentioned filming an office-worker concept with Son in the past for the Coupang Play variety show 'Office Workers'. Lee said, 'He played along with the sketch so well. He was so good on variety shows. I thought, as expected, you need that kind of quick reading of the room and sense to do well.'
