She continued, “It was such a long time ago. I feel sorry for not remembering. It’s amazing that we’ve continued to work together until now.”
When asked about expectations for a joint stage at the SBS Drama Awards, Jang Nara humorously responded “No”, displaying a firm attitude that brought laughter.
