While other cast members of the K-drama Jirisan mentioned during an online press conference that they found shooting at Jirisan National Park to be challenging as it involved a lot of climbing, actress Jun Ji-hyun recalled that the production actually improved her physical strength and that she didn’t feel exceptionally tired during the shoot.

“I was very happy throughout the whole filming process. The physical part wasn’t too difficult,” declared the active South Korean star who goes hiking and reportedly used to race up Cheonggye Mountain that’s located in Seoul in the past.
