Roh Yoon-seo Reflects on Being Named “Nation’s First Love” Similar to Son Ye-jin: “Overwhelming but Grateful”

At the press event for the film “Hear Me: Our Summer,”directed by Jo Seon-ho, held on October 18 at Megabox Seongsu in Seoul, actress Roh Yoon-seo addressed suggestions that she could inherit the title of “Nation’s First Love”from renowned actresses such as Son Ye-jin. She expressed, “Such comments feel incredibly overwhelming, and I am truly grateful for them.”

Further elaborating, she mentioned, “While I appreciate the sentiment of being referred to in such a way, I believe that ‘human Yeo Reum’ could be a fitting description as well. I am open to any title.”

The movie “Hear Me: Our Summer” explores the refreshing and romantic dynamics between Yong Jun, portrayed by Hong Kyung, who pursues love boldly, and Yeo Reum, played by Roh Yoon-seo, who discovers the meaning of sincerity, alongside her supportive younger sister, Ga Eul, played by Kim Min-ju. It is a Korean adaptation of the Taiwanese film “Hear Me” (2010) and marks the second directorial effort of Jo Seon-ho following his debut with “A Day” in 2017.

Roh Yoon-seo shared her thoughts on the adaptation, stating, “Initially, I was concerned about how to effectively translate the essence of the original Taiwanese film to a Korean audience. However, I discovered that our culture brings a unique charm to the narrative. Certain dialogues resonate even more powerfully here, and we focused on evoking our own emotions authentically. I believe we’ve succeeded in showcasing our distinct sensibility.”

In addition, “Hear Me: Our Summer” is scheduled to be released on November 6.
