[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Actress Cha Cheonghwa revealed that she won the role of Yang Geumok, beating out North Korean defectors in the audition for 'Crash Landing on You.'

On the 19th, KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together 4' aired a special episode titled 'My Acting Class,' featuring actors Seo Isuk, Cha Cheonghwa, Heo Seongtae, and Ha Dogwon.

That day, Cha Cheonghwa attracted attention by wearing the outfit she wore during the 'Crash Landing on You' audition. Cha Cheonghwa said, "After receiving the synopsis of 'Crash Landing on You,' I really wanted to do it. So I prepared the costume myself. I even practiced North Korean announcer pronunciation by watching YouTube."

Then, Cha Cheonghwa reenacted the audition scene from 'Crash Landing on You,' surprising everyone with her proficient North Korean dialect acting.

When Yoo Jae-seok complimented her, saying, "You'll pass immediately," Cha Cheonghwa replied, "The director said the same at first. But by the end of the audition, someone in the back said there were too many people. They said there were North Korean defectors too."

Shin Ye-eun asked, "What is it like to see senior Hyun Bin in person?" Cha Cheonghwa shared her thoughts, saying, "The moment I saw him, he shone. I thought I could give him everything I have."

When Seo Isuk said, "You're both actors, so why say that?" Cha Cheonghwa responded, "For a moment, I thought I wasn't an actor," which brought laughter.
