Actress Na Moon-hee is in love with ‘Tik Tok.’

Na Moon-hee told a story about the movie in an interview with the movie 'Hero' (director Yoon Je-gyun) held at a cafe in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul at 1 p.m. on the 14th.

On this day, Na Moon-hee drew attention by saying, "I am a lot older. I am a lot older so I don't have the power you think I have," but added, "Still, I will work hard until I meet an audience or viewers until the day I live."

Na Moon-hee said with a unique smile that she has been using TikTok, a global short-form video platform, since October last year, saying, “It’s fun and enjoyable.” “The reason you do ‘Tik Tok’ is because you get to meet people from all over the world and children. To do that, you have to prepare once a week, but it was also fun. I thought it was a good thing I did. I have never received any money yet. “I don’t have any enemies, but I like the fact that I’m always moving. I don’t have any big expectations, and I don’t like to be rigid.” The staff members who worked with him said that they brought pumpkin sweet potatoes when filming 'Tik Tok' and also hinted that the content was related to pumpkin sweet potatoes.

When asked what young fans remember him for, he chose the MBC sitcom 'Unstoppable High Kick' without hesitation. Na Moon-hee joked, "I really like the pumpkin and sweet potato in 'High Kick'. I like it to be that light. Ahn Jung-geun is too heavy and scary."

Na Moon-hee smiled and said, "Is there a need to be heavy just because you're a grandmother? Sometimes our grandmothers get scolded, but we have to do something. We have to overcome it." She said, "I hope we can have fun like this."

He said, "I will be 2 years younger in June next year. I was born in November. Since the population is said to be insufficient anyway, I wish the grandmothers would work a little more. Instead of just trying to sit for senior citizens, only sit for senior citizens when necessary, and think about it to help. He also gave solid advice to his peers, saying, “I hope you find something that works.”
