Actor Kim Hee-ae praised Kim Seon-ho.

At the press conference for Coupang Play's variety show ‘Bonjour Bakery’ held at Community House Masil in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the 6th, she said, “As just one of the viewers, I had only vaguely thought so, but after working with him, his image gives a delicate, herbivore-type vibe, whereas when he works he is vigorous and shows leadership.”

Asked about having drawn attention after posting a photo following her visit to a play starring Kim Seon-ho, she replied right away, “He was good in the play,” eliciting laughter.

She went on, “It was good; I also received a fresh spur to work hard,” while adding, “We are not that close personally. It can be burdensome if an older senior approaches too abruptly,” drawing more laughs.

Set to be released on the 8th, ‘Bonjour Bakery’ is a healing baking variety show set in the nation's first ‘senior dessert cafe opened in a quiet rural village, where elders who know the taste of life and the bakery family who know the taste of happiness share sweet comfort and warmth. It will be released on the 8th.
