Jang Na Ra was invited as a guest on KBS variety show Happy Together 3 which aired on June 18th and was accompanied by co-star Seo In Guk for the upcoming KBS drama I Remember You.

Previously signed with SM Entertainment, Jang Na Ra made her debut in 2001 when she was 21 years old. In the past, she received so many love calls for CFs that she herself has lost count of.

The 35-year-old actress shared, “There was a conversation between Ra Joon Mo PD (Cha Tae Hyun) and CEO Byun (Na Young Hee) and my tears suddenly fell.” The conversation between the two was that for the sake of hitting viewership ratings, the producer was starving a 45kg lady for two days.

Jang Na Ra found similarities with Cindy (played by IU) and also revealed that during the busiest time that she went through, she was not able to sleep for five days. It was to the extent that she was not able to keep focused due to the lack of sleep and the people at her side had to wake her up.
