Park Jin-young of GOT7 shared his thoughts after watching the senior actors he worked with in 'Hwayangyeonhwa'.

Park Jin-young played the role of Han Jae-hyun alongside Yoo Ji-tae in the tvN drama 'Hwayangyeonhwa - The Moment When Life Becomes a Flower', which ended on the 14th. He portrayed Han Jae-hyun's college years and worked closely with Yoo Ji-tae, Lee Bo-young, and Jeon So-ni.

He seemed to have felt something watching the performances of senior actors Yoo Ji-tae and Lee Bo-young. Park Jin-young said, "I met the seniors only two or three times on set. Each time, I remember the atmosphere being very good. Among ourselves, we joked calling ourselves 'compliment bots' because the seniors gave us so many compliments."

He continued, "Senior Yoo Ji-tae said, 'Our Jakjaejakji (small Jae-hyun, small Jisoo) is beautiful.' He used the word 'beautiful' a lot. Senior Lee Bo-young created an atmosphere where I could act without awkwardness or discomfort."

He said he wants to emulate not only their acting skills but also their unwavering composure. Park Jin-young added, "I still get shaken a lot by my surroundings, but the seniors maintain their center and act no matter the situation on set. Also, their communication with the director feels softer and more gentle. Their ability to immerse themselves in the moment is amazing, and I want to be like that too."
