Ahn Eun-jin: "I follow Shin Hyun Been for jewelry and Seo Kang-joon for health"

Actress Ahn Eun-jin has revealed her unique way of actively embracing the excellent taste and lifestyle habits of those around her. She selects beautiful accessories by following actress Shin Hyun Been and refers to Seo Kang-joon's routine for health management. Beyond simple imitation, Ahn's tendency to discover what she needs from her peers and make it her own was on display.

On the 8th, a video titled "Seo Kang-joon & Ahn Eun-jin: Would a 10-year couple even have similar bags?" was released on the YouTube channel "Harper's Bazaar Korea." In the video, the two offered a glimpse into each other's tastes by introducing the cherished items they carry and their daily habits.

Pulling a pair of uniquely designed sunglasses from her bag, Ahn stated, "I really love following people who have great items." She explained that rather than blindly copying someone else's taste, she tends to actively refer to things she finds appealing.

The person she refers to most frequently is actress Shin Hyun Been. "I bought this following Hyun Been unnie, and I also buy accessories following her," Ahn said. While introducing her jewelry, she once again mentioned, "Jewelry I bought following Hyun Been unnie," demonstrating her trust in Shin's style.

Ahn was also candid about why she follows Shin. "Unnie is pretty and has great style, so I follow her a lot," she said, noting that she observes the style of those she admires and selects elements that suit her.

While she looks to Shin Hyun Been for fashion, Seo Kang-joon is her model for health management. Ahn revealed, "I follow Kang-joon ssi's routine for a healthy lifestyle." This indicates she is learning not only how to choose beautiful objects but also how to adopt good lifestyle habits from those around her.

These remarks align with Ahn's characteristic friendly personality. Rather than insisting only on her own ways, her attitude of discovering the strengths of those around her and applying them to her own life connects well with the nature of acting. For an actor, for whom the ability to observe others and absorb emotions is vital, the quality of being a "good observer" remains relevant even outside of work.

In fact, Ahn Eun-jin and Seo Kang-joon play a couple of 10 years in the new KBS2 weekend mini-series "A Love Other Than Yours," which premieres on the 12th. The two play the roles of Namgoong Ho and Lee Mi-do, portraying a relationship that wavers between familiarity, boredom, and new emotions after a long-term romance.

The series differs from standard romances that depict sweet long-term relationships. It is a realistic melodrama where a couple who has shared lifestyle habits and tastes for 10 years experiences a rift as they suddenly sense unfamiliar changes in their partner. With the tagline "Our love no longer shines," the drama poses the question of whether familiarity is the strength that sustains love or the element that dulls a relationship.

In that sense, the "following" revealed by Ahn creates an interesting contrast with the relationship in the drama. While accepting something good from someone starts with affection and trust, in a long-term relationship, maintaining the boundary between oneself and a partner becomes a crucial issue.

Ahn shows this balance relatively healthily. Just because she admires Shin Hyun Been's accessories doesn't mean she copies every style; instead, she selects items she likes. Similarly, she refers to the parts of Seo Kang-joon's health routine that she specifically needs.

Ahn's growth as an actress is also linked to this capacity for absorption. Through characters like Chu Min-ha in "Hospital Playlist" and Yu Gil-chae in "My Dearest," she increased her public recognition by expressing realistic acting and delicate emotional textures, subsequently expanding her range into melodrama and romantic comedy.

In this upcoming work, she plays Lee Mi-do, an aspiring film director who wavers between the familiarity of a long relationship and new emotions. A key viewing point will be how realistically she expresses the emotional shifts of a partner they have spent 10 years with.

Ultimately, the "imitation" mentioned by Ahn carries a meaning beyond a simple buzzword. It is not merely envying someone's taste, but observing, experiencing, and then adapting it in one's own way. Ahn's method of learning style from Shin Hyun Been and lifestyle habits from Seo Kang-joon reflects the very essence of acting: "observation and absorption."
