It was also revealed that she cried after wrapping up filming. �She explained, "I didn't cry because I was sad about separating from Youngji. �It was sad saying goodbye to Youngji, too, but it had been a long time since I was in a production, and the atmosphere on set was enjoyable, so when I thought about how I would feel after going back home, I got sad. They were tears of happiness and sadness."
