Lee Min Jung enjoys a shopping date while on break from "Midas"

Actress Lee Min Jung was originally meant to have an interview with Sport Chosun indoors. But the day was irresistibly sunny, and Lee Min Jung was enjoying a rare break from her busy film schedule with SBS's "Midas". Consequently, the reporter and the actress agreed to hold their interview outside. They stepped out onto the streets, and prepared to enjoy a shopping date together. "I like hanging out at Shinsa-dong or Samchung-dong with my friends. I'm too busy lately to really come out," she disappointedly expressed as she checked out the sales corner in a shop. While draping various dresses against herself in front of a mirror, she added, "My style is really random.  I like dressy clothes, but there's nothing better than comfortable track suits." When asked whether she liked shopping, she replied, "I love shopping, it relieves stress. I don't spend excessively, though. I had a savings account before I even became an actress, and paid for my college tuition through part-time jobs and acting gigs. When I was younger, I'd clean my dad's shoes for my allowance, and saved up to $5,000 USD by the time I was a freshman in high school. I gave all of it to my mom (laughter)." After looking around, the actress headed for a simple 'ddukbokgi' restaurant. "It's so delicious, I want to cry. I don't know how long it's been since I ate on the streets like this. Journalist, try some!" While paying for the meal and autographing the piece of paper the store owner shyly handed her, she exclaims, "What to do, (laughter). All we did was stop by, but already I'm getting text messages from people saying they spotted me. How scary, my future boyfriend will probably enjoy this. No matter where I go, everyone will tell him where I am. I'll basically be inside the palm of his hand, don't you think?  What will I do if he asks me, 'Where were you while you were ignoring my call?' I guess I can't do anything suspicious (laughter)." Lee Min Jung then stopped by a nearby cafe. Spotting her immediately as she entered, the part-time worker in the cafe blushed and lowered the music volume to allow the actress to comfortably carry on with her interview. She revealed herself to be an avid music fan, spending most of her breaks on set listening to music. "My mother was a piano major, so I started learning about it ever since I was young. My brother enjoys rock music as well - I was raised in an environment very close with music." She continued, "I'm random with my music as well. Everyone becomes surprised when they turn on my iPod because there's such a random mix of genres, from Damien Rice to Metallica, and even Chopin." "I could fill up a whole wall in this cafe with all of the CDs I own. Lately, I've been listening to Far East Movement. They ranked #1 on Billboard some time ago. I also like Big Bang, and their G-Dragon and T.O.P unit as well." When asked what she would like to do during her free time this spring, she replied, "I want to go to the park with my friends and have some kimbap. A long time ago, my friends and I went to the park and ordered pizza, except they wouldn't deliver it. Their CF had said that they'd even deliver their pizza to jail, and we all laughed because they'd go to jail but not to a park. I still remember arguing with the pizza house (laughter)."
