“So, when I got the role, I was having breakfast with my mom at a cafe in Korea and I stepped outside and it was so funny ‘cause she kind of knew immediately when I was jumping on the streets of Gangnam [a district in Seoul, South Korea] that I got the role,” she said.
“She came out crying, and then after the phone call, she was like, ‘We gotta go home. I think I have indigestion,’ and so we left,” Yerin said while laughing with her costar.
“It was really beautiful to kind of, I guess share that moment with her.”
She then told one of her closest friends via FaceTime, acting out her friend’s reaction, showing how she set her phone down and was shocked and happy.
“She was just like, ‘Oh my God. You’re on Bridgerton!’”
“It’s so nice to have people who really love and support you,” she added. Find out who else is in the upcoming season!
