Tiffany opens up about her experience of filming her first kiss scene in 'Uncle Samsik'

In a recent interview, Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany shared her thoughts on filming her first kiss scene in the drama ‘Uncle Samsik.’

On the afternoon of June 26 KST, Tiffany Young sat down for an interview at a café in Sogyeok-dong, Seoul. During the interview, she shared various anecdotes about her experience working on the Disney+ original series ‘Uncle Samsik,’ which premiered on May 15.

‘Uncle Samsik’ is a 16-episode drama that tells the passionate story of Uncle Samsik, Park Doo Chil (played by Song Kang Ho), who ensures three meals a day even during wartime, and elite young man Kim San (played by Byun Yo Han), who dreams of building a prosperous nation where everyone can live well.

In the series, Tiffany Young plays the character Rachel Jung, a director at the Albright Foundation, who becomes intrigued by Kim San’s ambition to rebuild the nation of Korea.

Reflecting on her role, Tiffany Young said, “Appearing in ‘Uncle Samsik’ still feels unreal and like a dream. Although this is my second project after ‘Reborn Rich’, I still can’t quite believe it. I am just happy and grateful.”

She also mentioned her first on-screen kiss with Byun Yo Han, saying, “I experienced my first kiss scene in ‘Uncle Samsik.'” She recounted an amusing moment on set, “Senior actor Song Kang Ho kept joking around, saying ‘The atmosphere is nice.’ Since I was the last to join the cast, I felt a lot of pressure and tried to stay focused, which made me quieter than usual.”

Tiffany Young humorously described the kiss scene as almost an action scene, “It wasn’t just a kiss scene; it was practically an action scene. Byun Yo Han’s beard made my face swell up. We had to shoot many takes with different breaths, so my lips were quite swollen. It felt like filming a group dance scene or an action scene.”
