Quotes

“It’s an honor to lock eyes with her [Lee Young Ae] and to deliver my lines with her — an actress that I’ve seen on screen since I was young. She was very kind to all of the junior actors. I think one of the reasons why our team had such a good atmosphere throughout the shooting was due to her.”

“My goal is to portray each role and work on each project to the best of my abilities — whatever role or project that is. I think that opportunities arrive naturally when I dutifully perform the way that I need to. People may say that I’m too loose but I haven’t specifically set a particular goal.”

“I’ve never wanted to rest because I just like acting. I couldn’t just sit down all day, so I played soccer with my child even before I came to film.”

“I want to be a person who feels warm, a person with a comfortable face, and a happy person”.
