Quotes

“When I am acting a role, I can life as somebody else for a while. I think that is what makes me keep going as an actress.”

“As time went on, I became immersed into the character, until I’d spent a year and a half as Shim Soo Ryun. On our last shoot, it didn’t feel real that this would be the last time I would be her. I still don’t feel like ‘The Penthouse’ is over.”

“I know that people are more interested in my past private life than my acting career. I always feel the dilemma. But when people ask me if I am ready to talk about what they are curious about, I am still lost. It is not easy to change at once how you are being seen, but I have always longed for the communication with the public. So I am going to take a step by step approach.”
