Quotes

“If I had not done [Master in the House], I never would have got a chance to take a close look at how others live. It was fun for me to enjoy different experiences, so I am very satisfied with my decision to take part in the entertainment show.”

“I’m just thankful that I got an offer to work in more diverse genres. I think challenging myself to my limit gives me power.”

“In the past, I often thought that I had no talent in acting. I heard, ‘You’re bad at acting’ a lot. I thought I had to [act] because I didn’t have anything I knew how to do.”

“What I do [to learn how to play a villain role] is I look at the acting of many senior actors who have played similar roles in the past. After I watch these many acting performances for reference and compile them, I do the opposite [in my own acting].”
