Quotes

“I want to try a medical drama. I want to try out something difficult. There’s a lot that I want to do. I also like historical dramas. I will work hard with a new image in a good project that suits my age and greet you again.”

“[Cunning Single Lady] was my first time trying out a romantic comedy. I didn’t want to hear that I act out similar character each time and wanted to do well in a genre that I’m trying for the first time. Fortunately, I acted seriously in some of the scenes but people thought that was funny, so I was thankful.”

“I was once hurt because of love too. But I don’t like someone in secret. There is no point in that. If I like someone, I confess my feelings.”
