Sooyoung of Girls’ Generation said Monday that she thought of her boyfriend actor Jung Kyung-ho while filming upcoming JTBC web drama “People You May Know.”

The new drama tells the story of the variety show producer Lee Ahn, played by Sooyoung, who searches her memories of her lover while trying to crack the password of his phone after his death.

In a press meeting held on Monday in Sangam-dong, Seoul, the singer-actress expressed her feelings on playing a woman faced with her lover’s death.

“(In the drama) Lee Ahn and Kim Jin-young had been dating for 8 years. As I’ve been in a relationship for a long time, I guess I imagined (my actual lover). So I had hard time filming this drama,” Sooyoung said.

Jung and Sooyoung, who had been close friends since 2012, confirmed their relationship in 2014.
