“I didn't know that Americans don't like to watch movies with subtitles.”
“Working on 'Squid Game' was so fun and worth it.”
“Some say a model's tenure is relatively short compared with other careers. But I disagree. Models of all age groups are needed, so I think modeling can be a lifelong career.”
“I watched a lot of documentaries about North Korean defectors. I also practiced speaking in a North Korean accent with a teacher, and studied a lot.”
“Drinking two liters of water a day, washing your face only with water when it's morning, don't touch your face often with your hands, and make sure to wear sunscreen!”
“Acting in a new movie or series will be challenging, especially after 'Squid Game,' so I intend not to limit myself to a specific genre.”
“If I happily smile and play around and laugh 'ha-ha, hoo-hoo, yay,' laughing like that, I think the photo looks cooler. If I just stand there like this, like 'Oh, I'm a model,' well, I don't think that's what it means to be a model at all.”
“I think Korean beauty seems to be more focused on skincare than makeup!”
“I don't have any goals as an actress.”
“On holidays, I spent time alone at home watching a movie, reading a book, and contemplating. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't had that time, I probably wouldn't have been able to do acting.”
“As time went on, I felt that Sae-Byeok and I were becoming closer. I found joy in our synergy. The time I spent playing her was worth every second.”
“I didn't think I grafted the competitive and strong-willed versions of myself from 'Korea's Next Top Model' to Sae-byeok's character. But thinking of it now, maybe I still have those aspects within me, which helped me understand the role.”
“The world doesn't revolve around English.”
“What I do is I keep trying to focus on what I am doing now, instead of wasting time thinking about what went wrong in the past or will happen in the future.”
“When my skin is irritated, I'll use an aloe mask pack for its soothing effects.”
“I may waver a lot, but I'll work really hard and keep going.”
“In a way, Instagram is a space where I edit and show what I want to show. But at some point, I thought, 'Am I really this person?' People like my shiny look, but to me, I'm a much different person than her.”
“I applied for 'Korea's Next Top Model 2' when I was a freelance model, but I dropped out right after making it to the top 30. It left a resentment in my heart.”
“I learned more English because I wanted to actually learn acting.”
“I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, but I like a few within the genre.”
