Quotes 

“For me, I just do what I like. I love working and meeting people. I think life is all about experiences.”

“Since debuting as a model, I’ve received countless film offers. But I turned them all down because I thought I wasn’t ready.”

“I prefer drama movies that portray daily life over the thriller, crime and action genres.”

“Modeling work is electronic and has rhythm and base vibes. But I personally like acoustic styles.”

“It’s always exciting to work with people I like and watch the result come out amazingly. I’m the type of person who can’t sit still and I just need to constantly roam around. The only time I took a break from work was when I had a child.”

“I always keep my options open for the future and hope I can handle things naturally and professionally.”

“Whenever I face a new challenge, I tend to think about it for a long time because I’m nervous. But once I make the decision, I never look back. I’m glad that I ventured into acting in my 30s because I finally gained confidence after building a successful career as a model and spending much time abroad.”

“I don’t have much acting experience, but I think I’m better at working with others than I am at rushing forward while thinking only about my individual acting. This is because there’s much more synergy produced when I work with other actors.”
