Son Ho-jun’s Best Chemistry with Jang Na-ra On ‘Go Back Couple’ Drama
Back in late 2017, Son Ho-jun accepted the offer to star in KBS2’s 12-episode drama Go Back Couple as the main role along with actress Jang Nara. In the drama, Son Ho-jun played as Choi Ban-do, a 38-years-old husband who did time travel to his college time when he met his wife Ma Jin-joo (played by Jang Na-ra) for the first time. Regarding his work experience with a senior actress, Son Ho-jun stated that he works really well because Jang Na-ra is an experienced actress who reacts to him greatly when they are acting. Despite the great chemistry shown in the drama, the actor said that he was initially embarrassed, “At that time I was meeting her for the first time yet our first scene was kissing scene. We have built good chemistry since then because the filming site vibe is excellent”. Son Ho-jun also praised Jang Na-ra’s eternal beauty and youthful appearance, “From the first script reading, I was not able to notice the age gap between us. I think she is the best example of the saying, ‘Age is just a number.’ She looks exactly the same to the time when I used to watch her on television as a singer”. Not only communicating in the drama site, Son Ho-jun and Jang Na-ra also talk often through the phone and hang out during their off days. In an interview with KBS2’s Entertainment Weekly, Jang Na-ra shared that Son Ho-jun asked the director to have a week’s time prior to the kissing scene, “We had to record scenes where we slap each others’ butts and share kisses from the first day. He is a shy person, hence his request before filming that particular scene”.
Reportedly, Son Ho-jun and Jang Na-ra successfully received the Best Couple Award on KBS Drama Awards in 2017. Jang Na-ra also thanked Son Ho-jun for making her role as a married woman believable during her speech when she received the Excellence Award. We wish lasting friendship for these two!
Son Ho-jun’s Ideal Type and Dating Rumor
Just like the commoner, celebrities also have their preference regarding the romance partner, including the star of our article Son Ho-jun. In several interviews with the media outlet, Son Ho-jun said that he is looking for a bright and positive woman as his life partner, “I want someone who is able to spend the rest of her life with me. Rather than sexy, I like someone who is small, cute, chill, and not secretive”. When asked about his ideal type, Son Ho-jun answered, “Im Soo-jung was my ideal type when I was young. I used to put beauty first but now I am attracted to respectful and considerate women”. Regarding marriage, Son Ho-jun looks up to his parents’, saying that he wants to get married to someone who takes her side while he also becomes a husband who takes his wife’s side. In early February 2015, Son Ho-jun was involved in a dating rumor with actress Kim So-eun as news outlet The Fact released exclusive report provided with photos of them going out on a date. Accordingly, Son Ho-jun and Kim So-eun have gone on dates frequently since late January as Kim So-eun’s mother was hospitalized. Son Ho-jun visited the hospital with Kim So-eun on 28 January and went on a late night date to a fusion bar on 7 February for three hours before went home with a substitute driver driving Son Ho-jun’s car at 1.20 a.m. The representative of Son Ho-jun’s agency stated that their artist was introduced to Kim So-eun by an acquaintance and has good feelings for her but they are not an item, whereas Kim So-eun’s agency representative said that the pairing is not dating because they went with her manager. Korean netizens reacted to the news negatively because at that time, Kim So-eun joined MBC’s We Got Married, thinking that the report will affect the show and how pitiful Son Ho-jun because of Kim So-eun’s refutation, ‘No wonder she put up an iron wall before saying there is no chance she would get together with Song Jae-rim. I mean it is true but I thought it was suspicious how she was so against it’, ‘Son Ho-jun’s reps already said they were in some type of some, what is she denying it for? She is trying so hard to survive this that she is turning her some partner into a crazy man?’, and ‘Innocent young man Son Ho Jun who wants to get married early… I would rather he date a non-celebrity than celebrities who are always measuring each other up’. Well, what do you think, dear readers? Do you believe that Son Ho-jun and Kim So-eun were dating?
