When asked about her partner, Park Bo Gum, from her latest drama Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, she mentioned that they actually shared encouragements like ‘we can do well, let’s work hard!’ to each other throughout the filming. As a child actress, Moonlight Drawn by Clouds was actually the first drama featuring her as an adult lead role. For the romantic scenes, Kim You Jung stated that she just had fun filming, and she discussed a lot of the scenes with Park Bo Gum and the director in efforts of making them more realistic and enjoyable for the viewers.

As she is currently a student, Kim You Jung hopes to participate in works that allows her to create fond memories with her peers and friends. Looking back over the years and the roles she’s done, the actress recalled some of the more difficult obstacles: as a child, it was dealing with more extreme weather conditions, such as walking barefoot on snow; now that she’s older, the difficulties came in preparing for her roles, so that she could step into the characters’ shoes better. How does her young age give her an edge in the industry then? The actress replied that having started as a child actress, acting was a constant learning process, and she felt that it became a natural process for her now.
