[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Actor Lee Jae-yong mentioned actress Jang Hye-jin, who appeared in the movie 'Parasite.'

On the afternoon of the 5th, Lee Jae-yong appeared on TV Chosun's documentary program 'Life Documentary My Way' and revealed that he had taught acting to many actors, including Jang Hye-jin, who appeared in 'Parasite,' as well as Jang Hyuk, Kim Sook, and Kim Hyun-sook.

Lee Jae-yong shared his thoughts on the significant growth of the students he taught as actors. He recalled, "It's not that they succeeded because I taught them. They all had one thing in common: concentration. Also, they were friends who knew how to work hard."

He then recalled his memories of actress Jang Hye-jin. "She was the top student when she entered Korea National University of Arts. She said she would work hard from the summer semester until graduation, but the kids' period was no joke," he said. "So I deliberately criticized her in front of the kids, but she got hurt."

Lee Jae-yong added, "Afterwards, Jang Hye-jin got married and had a baby, and we met and cleared up misunderstandings." He continued, "She had great skills but didn't get the spotlight. After enduring such a long time, she eventually created her own era."
