Unlike Choi Nam Ra, Actress Cho Yi Hyun was NOT a Model Student in Real Life

Attended Musical Department in High School Because of “Wicked”
Cho Yi Hyun attended the Musical Department of Hanlim Multi Art School with her parents’ support. Her immense interest in “Wicked” musical drama during her third year of middle school resulted in her dream of becoming a musical actress.
Placed Last During First Practice Test
However, Cho Yi Hyun apparently believed that she lacked many things for musical performance. After all, she knew that her classmates had been preparing for a long time, while she couldn’t even sing, dance, or even act in front of other people at the time.
Moreover, Cho Yi Hyun even mentioned that she placed last among the other students during their practice test for the first semester. Sure, she placed the 38th out of 40 people in her class. But apparently, the two remaining people were not present at the time.
Works Extremely Hard to Achieve Her Goals
Still, it doesn’t mean that the “All of Us Are Dead” actress just gave up and quit altogether. On the contrary, she began working extremely hard to achieve her goals. That is why she managed to get second place in the next test. After graduating from Hanlum Multi Art High School, Cho Yi Hyun attended Kyung Hee University
“Among the people who took the test, I was the last. After that, I practiced hard that I finally got second place in the next test, and the teachers said that I set a good example.
I worked hard in high school on what I had to do, but I don’t think I was a model student. Instead, I was a student that worked hard on what I wanted to do.”

Fun and Cheerful Like Sunshine Personality and Unique Habits
Moreover, one of the most wonderful facts you need to know about actress Cho Yi Hyun was that her outstanding portrayal of Choi Nam Ra that had gotten her popularity skyrocketed was apparently a TOTAL opposite of her true personality.
Cho Yi Hyun is Like Ray of Sunshine with Her Bright and Cheerful Personality
Unlike Choi Nam Ra, actress Cho Yi Hyun has a fun and cheerful personality. Everywhere she goes, it’s like sunshine filling every single corner of the room because of her dazzling presence and bright smile.
During an “All of Us Are Dead” interview, actor Yoon Chan Young mentioned that behind her cheerful personality, actress Cho Yi Hyun possesses wisdom and skills that will get her to survive any zombie attack. That is why all the younger actors gave her the nickname “Yi Hyun-hyung”.
However, now that she has acted as a character that is the total opposite of her personality, Choi Nam Ra, Cho Yi Hyun mentioned that at some point, she had incorporated Nam Ra’s character into her real-life personality. That is why today, her MBTI type changed from ISFP (Adventurer) to ISTP (Virtuoso).
“My MBTI was originally ISFP. While filming for the drama, I retook the test and got ISTP. F is emotional, and T is rational. While acting as Nam Ra, I became rational. I think we became more in sync while I was acting.”

Actress Cho Yi Hyun Has a Tendency of Being the “Drama Queen”
Along with her amazing personality, her fellow “All of Us Are Dead” cast members also mentioned that actress Cho Yi Hyun tends to be hilariously dramatic in her habits. Hence, the “Drama Queen” nickname.
For example, actors Yoon Chan Young and Park Ji Hoo once mentioned in an interview that Cho Yi Hyun had a habit of raising her arm while yawning. Also, she liked to jump happily every time she got out of the car. Furthermore, they stated that since Cho Yi Hyun started with a musical major, she tends to be dramatic indeed, and it was hilarious.
“Her everyday life was more dramatic than any show. So, even when she yawned, she would do it like this (raising hand while yawning). Also, she usually jumps off when she comes out of the car.”

At the same time, Cho Yi Hyun also mentioned that because her previous MBTI was ISFP, she wanted to get closer to the other cast members by becoming a fun person. But since she had a hard time doing so, she invented those habits.
“It’s because I’m older than the other cast members. So I did those things to get closer to them.”

And then she turned shyly away from the camera and fell dramatically from her chair during the interview. A true Drama Queen indeed!

However, did you know that actress Cho Yi Hyun and Park Solomon had a history before “All of Us Are Dead”?
Cho Yi Hyun and Park Solomon Worked Together for the First Time in “Sweet Revenge” Drama
Long before “All of Us Are Dead”, actress Cho Yi Hyun had actually worked with Park Solomon in one of her debut dramas, “Sweet Revenge”. However, there were not many scenes to work together because Park Solomon was the main lead, while Cho Yi Hyun only played a guest role.
“Lomon starred in my debut web drama ‘Sweet Revenge.’ At that time, Lomon was the main lead of the drama, and I was a lead of one episode, so there weren’t many scenes where we appeared together. ‘All of Us Are Dead’ was the first time we worked together directly.”

Besides, we’re the same age, and we have the connection of being in ‘Sweet Revenge’ together.
