The idol-turned-actress said, "Now that the drama is over, I'm doing auditions. It was my first project and it was so meaningful that I feel very bittersweet. I held a fan meeting not too long ago, too."

Though 'Oh Hae Young Again' was Youngji's first drama project, she said she didn't think the drama wouldn't do well, reasoning, "Because I was among so many talented people, I felt great and confident [that the drama would do well]." 

Youngji also broached the topic of criticisms that people tend to direct toward idol-turned-actresses. She said, "After I saw the first episode and saw comments that complimented my acting, I cried. Before I started the drama, I was very worried and had lots of thoughts. I thought that since there will be people [judging my acting], I'd rather be insulted for doing well. So I determined to do my very best."
