Park Bo-young

“The movie 'Scandal Makers' did so much better than I had thought. During that phase of my career, the people around me warned me that whatever goes up could always come back down.”

“I like men who straightforwardly express their emotions.”

“As I grow older, working in the entertainment industry, where I should worry how others see me, my self-esteem has further dropped.”

“Some kids would deliberately knock shoulders with me while passing by. Students from other classes would then put trash all over my seat, and the kids in my class would try to clean it up for me.”

“One time, when I was filming 'Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,' I had to ask my little sister to bring me something. I was filming a scene where I had to carry Park Hyung Sik and Ji Soo on my back, and my sister just had her eyes on them the whole time. She had no interest in me whatsoever.”

“Personally, I think getting obsessed with yourself is the most dangerous thing.”

“Honestly, Korean beauty standards are harsh. People are even putting pressure on non-celebrities to be super skinny, and the standards of thinness are just getting worse.”

“When people compliment me, I don't put much meaning into them, but when they say bad things, I take them too seriously. I try to fix this mentality, but it's hard.”

“When I am filming a movie, I think I tend to do what I want with my character.”

“I believe every citizen feels the same way about the Sewol Ferry incident.”

“As long as you're healthy, I don't think weight matters.”

“My fans are always upset because I don't do projects frequently and because I don't use social media.”

“If I ever come out with a very serious, romantic project, you should know that it's because, at that point, I would have experienced a very agitated relationship.”

“When I got tied up in a big lawsuit with my previous agency, I seriously thought my career was over.”

“I always thought that I wasn't the type of person to show off my cuteness.”

“Sometimes, my manager is caught off guard by me talking to myself, so he'll start talking back to me.”

“I'm really thankful for the popularity of 'Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,' but I know it's only temporary.”

“I saw Song Hye Kyo once, and she was so pretty. She was bare-faced, and I was wearing full makeup, yet she still looked prettier than me. After seeing her, I told myself that I should just focus on my acting.”

“I am not that cute. However, because I had played so many cute characters, I am starting to be influenced by them.”

“I'm not as careful as I look, which is why I choose not to do social media. It's really because I don't trust myself. I'm also very easily influenced by my feelings and will impulsively act on my emotions, which is another reason why I don't do social media.”
