Lee Young-ji personally reveals the secret behind the cheek kiss with Do Kyung-soo

Lee Young-ji has properly gotten back into her main business. She released her first mini-album, ’16 Fantasy’, five years after her debut. As a rapper who has proven her skills & popularity through the songs she has released so far, this album has also received favorable reviews since its release. Just looking at the fact that the title song ‘Small Girl’ swept the top spot on major domestic music charts proves this.

‘Small Girl’ is a song that stands out with its soft charm instead of Lee Young-ji’s characteristic intensity. The lyrics honestly reveal her complexes & get more responses. She comforts everyone by sharing her past when she was intimidated by her taller-than-average height. Regarding this, Lee Young-ji wrote, “We always get flustered in front of love. There comes a time when I suddenly worry & doubt myself, even the aspects of myself that I usually liked.” She added warmth to the song by writing, “It would be nice if there was someone by my side who could affectionately put a band-aid on me in all those moments. It would be even better if that could be me.”

EXO’s D.O. is featured in this new song. He also appeared in the music video as actor Do Kyung-soo. The music video, which is filled with a fresh love story, contains the following content. First of all, Lee Young-ji seems to have a crush on Do Kyung-soo. However, when a petite ‘small girl’ comes into the gas station where Do Kyung-soo is working part-time, Lee Young-ji feels jealous of Do Kyung-soo& the ‘small girl’ who looks so good together. However, Do Kyung-soo has liked Lee Young-ji all along. This fact is proven in the scene where Do Kyung-soo gives Lee Young-ji a surprise kiss on the cheek. Lee Young-ji’s embarrassed & helpless appearance is heartwarming.

There are also rumors that this kiss scene was ad-libbed by Do Kyung-soo. This is because Lee Young-ji’s surprised reaction right after the cheek kiss was so reminiscent of a real situation. Lee Young-ji recently told the behind-the-scenes story of the scene on YouTube’s ‘Channel 15ya’.

She watched the ‘Small Girl’ music video with host Na Young-seok PD. During the kiss scene, she got up from her seat & said shyly, “No matter how much I watch it, I feel guilty. I ran and told the director, ‘I can’t do this,’ and he went in there and did it.” Na Young-seok PD, who has worked with Lee Young-ji on many entertainment shows, also revealed, “Our Young-ji is very shy. She has a serious illness that makes her unable to look a man in the eye.”

When one of the netizens who were watching asked, “Was the kissing scene ad-lib?” Lee Young-ji finally opened her mouth. She said, “I didn’t mention it on goal to keep the public immersed in the music video, but it wasn’t ad-lib, it was something we agreed on,” and “But it wasn’t what I wanted.” She waved her hand and made everyone laugh, emphasizing that it was not the cast’s will but a storyboard.

This scene was filmed when she first met Do Kyung-soo. Lee Young-ji explained, “The director said he wanted to intentionally emulate that awkward & shy feeling. That’s why we filmed it as the first scene.” At the time, Do Kyung-soo kept talking to Lee Young-ji for ice-breaking,& even after the countdown to the start of filming began, they kept talking & then suddenly kissed. Lee Young-ji’s blunt reaction came from this. It was a scene where she begged, “If it’s not necessary, please remove it,” but it was a scene that absolutely couldn’t be done without.
