Quotes

“My decisions [in choosing roles] usually depend on the many elements in a script: the message theme and the characters. If there is anything interesting in the script, I like to try it out It. I look at the whole picture rather than just my role, and what I can deliver to the audience as an actor through my part in it.”

“I think not only K-drama but also global content is already widely shared around the world. Korea’s strength is that it quickly picks up the world’s trends and absorbs them very well.”

“I want to be a person who balances herself well and makes people feel comfortable.”

“It motivates me when people tell me they have seen a new side of me. It makes me confident, it also makes me want to find a new me whenever I get the opportunity to.”
