Quotes

“Looking back at my 20s, it was hard because I didn’t have that many roles. But now I appreciate the downtime because I could have a plenty of ‘me’ time. I read a lot, went to many galleries and museums and I also learned all the things that I’ve wanted to learn.”

“As an actress, I want to intrigue the audience.”

“When I attended the Golden Globes, I felt nervous like a child at the thought of meeting foreign actors in real life. But the interesting thing was, they also looked at the ‘Parasite’ actors including me in the same way.”

“I want to become an actress who makes people ask, ‘What does she do when she’s not acting?’ and ‘Why did she choose that role?’ when I’m working on a project. One of my favorite reviews is, ‘I don’t usually watch things like this but I watched because I was curious.’ I like that I made someone curious.”
