On the previous episode of “Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born,” Jeong Nyeon found herself in danger of having to give up singing forever after falling into Hye Rang’s trap. Due to overexerting herself while preparing for her audition, Jeong Nyeon lost her voice and ultimately collapsed on stage after coughing up blood during her audition.
In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Jeong Nyeon walks into a gray and stormy sea in despair. As she fearlessly wades through the crashing waves, there is not a single other soul in sight. Her eyes red with tears, Jeong Nyeon gazes out at the vast sea ahead of her with a hollow expression.
Praising Kim Tae Ri’s acting during the scene, director Jung Ji In recalled, “Actress Kim Tae Ri was simply Jeong Nyeon herself.” She added, “Kim Tae Ri portrayed Jeong Nyeon’s pain with depth, and it felt like meeting an artist beyond the horizon.”
The next episode of “Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born” will air on November 9 at 9:20 p.m. KST.
