  • Actress Moon Chae-won shared behind-the-scenes footage from a wedding photoshoot on her YouTube channel.
  • She discussed choosing dresses, posing for the camera, and enduring the shoot by anticipating a meal of mala tang.
  • Moon expressed her willingness to do another shoot but questioned if it's customary.

Actress Moon Chae-won offered fans a glimpse into her wedding photoshoot experience via her personal YouTube channel, "Moon Chae-won." As she prepared and posed in bridal gowns, she candidly shared her thoughts on the process.

I couldn't sleep. I want to ask subscribers if it's normal not to sleep the night before (a wedding shoot).

โ€” Moon Chae-wonResponding to a question about her sleep the night before the wedding photoshoot.

When asked if she slept well the night before, Moon admitted she didn't, posing the question to her subscribers about whether pre-wedding shoot jitters are common. She also revealed that the selection of her three wedding dresses involved input from others, not solely her personal taste. "The most important thing is that if the photos turn out well, you end up liking the dress," she commented on the dynamic between the attire and the final images.

All three wedding dresses I'm wearing today aren't entirely my taste; I chose them after getting opinions from others.

โ€” Moon Chae-wonDiscussing the selection process for her wedding attire.

Navigating the photoshoot, Moon found posing alone awkward, relying on the photographer's direction for various stances. Despite appearing energetic, she confessed to feeling tired but sustained by the promise of eating mala tang afterward. When questioned about doing another wedding shoot, she affirmed she would, but then playfully questioned if it was something one should do more than once.

The most important thing is that if the photos turn out well, you end up liking the dress.

โ€” Moon Chae-wonExplaining her perspective on how the final images influence her feelings about the dresses.

As she moved to her final dress, Moon whispered "Mala tang, mala tang" to the camera, her anticipation for the spicy Sichuan noodle soup evident. The photographer acknowledged her post-shoot plans for a treat, and a shout of "Mala tang" from the production crew elicited a burst of laughter from the actress.

I feel awkward just standing and smiling alone.

โ€” Moon Chae-wonDescribing her discomfort with posing without direction.
