During a public interview, veteran actress Kim Ji Young spoke out about her exhausting experience previously filming MBC's 'Twinkle, Twinkle' and shared her thoughts on the August incident regarding Han Ye Seul, in which the actress refused to continue filming for KBS's 'Spy Myung Wol'  due to exhaustion, and was subsequently sued on civil and criminal grounds. At a 'Bokhee Noona' production session that took place at the 63 Convention Center on November 1st, Kim Ji Young remarked that she had taken on another intense role in this new drama, similar to the one she played in 'Twinkle, Twinkle'. The actress shared,

"I have been taking on a lot of these types of roles, as opposed to the warm, kind characters ... I was beyond exhausted filming 'Twinkle, Twinkle'. But they say actors must work until they collapse in front of the camera, and that's honestly what I did...I then thought about all the actors and actresses that take on numerous roles, and for the first time in a long while, I thought about how hard the workload must be. The directors are constantly pushing you, telling you to improve your scene. You hardly have a second to breathe. I thought to myself, 'I need to buy these hoobaes something to eat sometime'."

When the interview was over, Kim Ji Young rose from her seat, but turned her attention back to the reporters.

"Han Ye Seul, that poor thing. How exhausted must she have been, to act out like that even when she probably knew the backlash she would suffer? After experiencing it for myself, I completely understand why she did what she did. At least I'm a little older and can afford to speak my mind. But she's still so young and she can't speak up for herself. It just breaks my heart."

On Bokhee Nuna, Kim Ji Young plays the role of an intense elder woman who has been extremely stubborn since she was a child. She becomes more fierce once her son remarries an older woman.
