Quotes
“No matter what role I’m trying to take in, I try not to think of it as difficult. Since characters I cannot understand exist in this world, I thought that I didn’t have to understand. So it wasn’t too hard.”
“Determining the level of expression I had to add for each scene was difficult.”
“I especially think that if you’ve watched ‘The Glory,’ I anticipate that you will be able to help [those in situations of school bullying].”
“Thanks to ‘The Glory,’ I’m able to make my name known and do interviews. This is a picture I couldn’t have predicted just last year. I didn’t know ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ would do so well and since it was just one episode, I didn’t think I’d receive love.”
“When I was young, it was difficult to explain, but now that I am an actress, it is a name I am truly proud of and grateful for. It is a pure Korean name gifted by my Father which means live purely and white (clear).”
“I am someone who is very bright and energetic, but when I have a problem or if I am depressed, I don’t want to give it to someone else.”
