Kim Minju, from IZ*ONE, shared her thoughts after finishing the drama "Connection." In the SBS drama "Connection," which ended on the 6th in Korea, Kim Minju played the childhood of reporter Oh Yoonjin (played by Jung Mido) from the Anhyeon Economic Daily. Leading the epilogue depicting the past of the main characters, she delicately portrayed the love and friendship of fresh young people, enhancing the immersion. Kim Minju's lively charm as a high school student was captivating, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. She expressed her thoughts on the end of the broadcast, saying, "Thanks to 'Connection,' I looked forward to the weekends. I was happy to watch the work while crying and laughing together with many people who loved it, and I am grateful to be able to act with such wonderful seniors. I think it will remain in my memory for a long time." The epilogue that took charge of the youth of "Connection" had a contrasting atmosphere to the main story. In that context, Oh Yoonjin, played by Kim Minju, evoked nostalgic feelings in viewers. Her pure and beautiful visuals reminiscent of a first love, combined with her bright energy unique to her character, were enough to stimulate childhood nostalgia. In particular, her first appearance scene sitting at the bus stop listening to music was called a "scene that fabricates memories of first love" and attracted attention. She said she struggled a lot to create a realistic character, "I wanted to show a bright and happy past. Yoonjin, who is innocent and decisive, felt attractive, and I felt that she was similar to me in some ways, so I just tried to act like myself." She also added, "Before filming, I talked with the director about the character, and he directed me clearly, so I was able to act with confidence," expressing her gratitude. Kim Minju, who is steadily expanding her activities as an actress, is also attracting attention for her future activities. Following the strong presence she showed despite her short appearance in the drama, she is also preparing for the release of the movie "Blue Snow," where she will showcase new charms. She said, "As I am still a newcomer, I have a strong desire to show various sides of myself. I want to meet viewers in various works and characters." Finally, she greeted, "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the viewers who loved 'Connection.' I was happy to feel the emotions while watching the work 'Connection,' which I couldn't relax from start to finish, together with everyone. I am grateful to everyone who watched until the end. Please continue to watch over my future activities."
