Apink's Son Naeun Dishes On Going Camping With Song Seung Heon For New Variety Show

Oct 09, 2020

Apink’s Son Naeun has dished on her upcoming JTBC variety show “Camping Vibes” (literal translation)!

Son Naeun recently wrapped up filming for the first two episodes of the new reality show, which will feature an all-female cast going camping in unique places all over Korea. Son Naeun will be starring in the program alongside her friend and former “Cinderella and Four Knights” co-star Park So Dam, in addition to Park Na Rae, Ahn Young Mi, and MAMAMOO‘s Solar.

“‘Camping Vibes’ is a new challenge for me,” remarked Son Naeun. “I’d really wanted to travel, but because of the current situation, I’d felt a bit cooped-up. I think this show will be a time for me to try new things that I haven’t tried before and take on new challenges.”

Explaining why she had wanted to join the program, she revealed, “I decided to appear on the show because I wanted to develop more self-reliance and become a bit tougher.”

When asked which of the cast members she wanted to get to know better, Son Naeun replied, “I want to become closer with [Ahn] Young Mi, who has a lot in common with me.” As for Park So Dam, with whom she is already close, she shared, “I’ve always depended on So Dam, so I’d like to be the one to take care of her during camping.”

Son Naeun also talked about reuniting with her “Dinner Mate” co-star Song Seung Heon, the show’s very first guest, and what it was like filming with him.

“At first, I was worried about Song Seung Heon going camping with five women,” she recalled. “However, once he came, he made filming so much fun and was so relaxed that I was surprised. While filming dramas, he always jokes around a lot on set, but I didn’t expect him to show that candid side of himself during ‘Camping Vibes.'”

As for what viewers can look forward to in the upcoming program, Son Naeun commented, “‘Camping Vibes’ introduces viewers to hidden tourist spots within Korea. I hope that through ‘Camping Vibes,’ viewers will be able to enjoy the experience of vicarious travel and find some healing, no matter how brief.”
