‘Trend’ Asking Han So-hee about ‘malicious comment terrorism’ [Interview]

ize Reporter Kim Na-ra

Actress Han So-hee (29) attracted attention with her majestic actions, showing off her bold manners worthy of being a “hot star” among the MZ generation.

Han So-hee recently met viewers around the world in her role as a toddler, Yoon Chae-ok, in the Netflix original series ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ (written by Kang Eun-kyung, directed by Jeong Dong-yoon). He emerged as a trend in 2020 with the drama ‘The World of the Married’. After ‘I know,’ Netflix ‘My Name’, Disney+ ‘Soundtrack#1’ She is continuing her momentum by showing off her unrivaled presence in many of her works, including. This time, in & # 39; Gyeongseong Creature & # 39;, she skillfully digested the action scenes and formed great chemistry with Park Seo-joon, who plays Jang Tae-sang, showing a different acting transformation from her previous work.

‘Gyeongseong Creature’ is the story of two youths whose survival was everything in the spring of 1945, when the darkness of the era was deepest, confronting a monster born of greed. Drama ‘Stove League’ Director Jeong Dong-yoon and ‘Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim’ Series writer Kang Eun-kyung teamed up. Season 1 concluded with 10 episodes, with Part 1 on the 22nd of last month and Part 2 on the 5th of this month. Season 2 is also scheduled to be released this year.

Han So-hee expressed her special feelings as she devoted herself to ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ by filming seasons 1 and 2 simultaneously for two years. He said, “I’m watching the reaction carefully, and I’m nervous and amazed because it’s the first time I’ve received this much attention in my life.”Anyway, since it is a Netflix original series, wasn’t it released all over the world? As I am exposed to many countries, it feels even more amazing. “I don’t think the novelty has yet become reality,” he said in bewilderment.

Han So-hee said, “Even when filming a drama, I said, ‘Is this the end? A lie’ It was like that. Maybe it’s because I filmed for two years, but I didn’t cry even once. I didn’t cry on the last day of filming for Season 1, and I wasn’t sad because we had to meet again in Season 2. ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ Tim, I feel like I’m not saying goodbye to these people. I think it will be sad when Season 2 is released. I don’t think it’s over yet. “It doesn’t feel real,” he said, expressing his sorrowful feelings.

In particular, ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ received a lot of attention by using as a motif the atrocities of biological experiments committed by Japan’s Unit 731 during the Japanese colonial period. Moreover, ‘Korean wave star’ Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee boldly jumped in and created a stir. Director Jeong Dong-yoon and writer Kang Eun-kyung said, “Due to the historical background, there were no actors willing to appear. It could be a burdensome situation, but Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee had no hesitation about that. On the contrary, he coolly said, “Because I’m a Korean Wave actor, shouldn’t I be doing more work like this?” He added to the surprise by revealing the behind-the-scenes story.

When the story about this was brought up, Han So-hee said, “I didn’t think about anything else. In the first place, there was nothing to worry about in my head because it was a Korean wave or a period drama. For me, work is done between people, so if I don’t love the people I work with more than anything, I can’t do my work. Director Jeong Dong-yoon, whom I have always liked, writer Kang Eun-kyung, whom I love, and senior (Park) Seo-jun are also people I like as actors, so I firmly said that there was no reason not to do ‘Gyeongseong Creature’.

At the same time, he smiled and said, “This may be just my opinion, but there is a part where the writer looks at me like his own child.”

‘Gyeongseong Creature’ was also included in the top 10 list in Japan, but it was frowned upon due to some Japanese netizens’ malicious comments directed at Han So-hee. After Han So-hee posted a photo of Dr. Ahn Jung-geun while promoting & # 39; Gyeongseong Creature & # 39; on her personal SNS account, Japanese netizens criticized & # 39; anti-Japanese & # 39; They attacked indiscriminately, saying it was ‘a hateful thing’ Also, Han So-hee would like to see “Gyeongseong Creature”, but I think she would have to be a bit brave as a Japanese person. To be honest, this comment is sad as a fan,” said one Japanese fan, “It’s sad, but it’s true.” “Still, thank you for your courage,” he once again corrected his distorted sense of history.

Recalling that time, Han So-hee said, “‘Why is this controversial?’ That was my thought. There were people who made personal attacks, there were people who denied it, and there were friends who gave me courage. However, I am grateful for the courage, but I can’t help it. Thinking, “What should I do if it’s true?” he left a comment saying, “It’s sad, but it’s true.” He was not bothered by Japan’s malicious comments.

This is Han So-hee, who put a lot of effort into writing a new life character called Yoon Chae-ok. He said, “The actor must find the intersection with the character himself. I think I need to find that first to synchronize myself with that role. But this time, it took me a while to find the intersection between me and her. After all, isn’t Chae-ok a character who searches for her mother while ruining her own life? That was the part that didn’t sit right with me. There were also differences due to the times. “The only thing that struck me was that if there was something I wanted, I would jump in at any cost, and that was the point in which Chae-ok and I were most similar.”

Han So-hee continued, “I believed in just that and jumped into Gyeongseong Creature, but I thought it would be a really big problem if my concentration was broken. Because if I can’t become Chae-ok, this monster can’t become a mother either. So I tried to become Chae-ok myself, and the thing I thought about the most was, “Why on earth did I follow my mom around for 10 years?” The second was anger because she didn’t know where her mother had gone, or because her mother had abandoned me. The third is sadness. No matter how you look at it, Chae-ok must have been sad when she found out that her mother didn’t run away. The fourth was anger toward the people who kidnapped her mother. Then, when Chae-ok finally reached her final stage, I thought that her feelings were one of detachment. ‘It’s done, this life is all about me finding my mother, that’s it.’ “I analyzed that she would feel like this,” he pointed out.

In addition, Han So-hee showed her fighting spirit after being injured and gave a truly passionate performance. He said, “The facial injury was no one’s fault, it was literally an accident. There was a scene where I kicked a chain with my foot, and as a reaction, it fell on my face. But that day was ‘I really like emotional acting today. I think I can do really well today’ It was one of those days, but I ended up getting injured. At that time, I was wearing make-up with a bruise on my eye, so I wondered if I could just keep putting on the make-up anyway. But it couldn’t be done because blood was flowing and the connection wasn’t working properly. So close. “Everything was treated well, and now it’s completely healed,” he said with a bright smile, pointing to the injured area.

Han So-hee said, “If you just go to action school, you don’t have to exercise separately. Provide physical training. Action School is near Namhansanseong Fortress, so once you get there, you have to climb the mountain. If I had to come down the mountain, get physical training, do that, and then work out again, I would die (laughs). Since there were a lot of big action scenes, I always had to go and practice. I arrived around 1pm and often went to practice wire and other things for 4 to 5 hours. Even if I don’t exercise or eat, I lose weight and can’t gain weight. Seojun oppa also lost weight as he went along. They both expressed their distress, saying, “We both became more and more grumpy.”

Han So-hee showed off her incredible passion for acting by making an effort not to lose her breath even though she had a double role. He said, “My Name” had many one-take action scenes. He liked doing that kind of breathing himself, even if my movements were strange. He also had a role where he jumped into a life-or-death situation. On the other hand, ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ Chae-ok was a character who had to be good at calculating forwards and backwards and use her body technically and agilely. So he actually had a double. No matter how much I practice, there are some things I cannot do exactly like the action stunt sister does. I have poor flexibility, so I absolutely cannot do kicks that require a 180-degree split. Rather than doing those things myself and making them look awkward, wouldn’t it be better to use a double and speak coolly? But in my opinion, action is acting, so even if I couldn’t do it, I tried to follow along. The teachers do the action, and it’s just me who does the lines, so the breathing rate is completely different. He showed off amazing details, saying, “I didn’t say I could just do this because he did this much, but even if I couldn’t do it, I kicked at least in the 90-degree range that I could and then proceeded with the act.”

Regarding the secret to increasing the level of immersion in the play with delicate emotional lines, he said, “I don’t have any acting skills yet. So, I always have to bring up memories I don’t want to remember, and this is the type of acting that touches my emotions. If I continued to do that every other day, even though I thought I felt relieved after filming that scene, my body took a toll. So, it’s a sad situation no matter who sees it, but the question becomes, “Why is this sad?”It was a bit difficult at that time. No matter how hard I try to understand the character’s situation, I don’t feel sad. For example, if you hold a funeral for 10 days, the first three days are sad, but the last day is so exhausting that no tears come out. “It’s not like that now, it’s very good.”

Han So-hee said, “When I look at the reactions to acting, one of the comments that particularly gets to me is, “You look sad.”There was always one of these running. In some ways, it may be a bad comment, but in other ways, I think it’s a good thing. “I think sad eyes are somewhat nice,” he added.

There were no ‘dislikes’ about Han So-hee’s performance, but ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ had sharply divided likes and dislikes in terms of its quality. In some quarters, there was even a reaction that said, “It belittled the independence army.” Regarding this, Han So-hee said, “When filming, I actually asked my seniors, ‘What would it have been like if it were us?’ We had a lot of conversations. The torture scene was also the most difficult. So, what I am saying is that I hope you will look at the personalities of everyone living in that era from that perspective. While there were many people who sacrificed their lives for independence, weren’t there also many people with different personalities? But the reason I can’t explain it is because I didn’t live through those times. I wonder how dare anyone disparage it or make a careless comment about how the independence army was described. I haven’t experienced that era, so how can I “dislike the independence army”? “I wonder if I can make a judgment,” he asked.

In response to the criticism that the rapid development of Jang Tae-sang and Yoon Chae-ok’s love line was “implausible,”Tae-sang said, “Rather than approaching it all at once, there were lines that Tae-sang blurted out, and the sigh of relief he felt for himself was seen in his eyes. It’s not easy to save one’s life, but Tae-sang eventually goes to save the kids and handles the situation at Chae-ok’s words. Chae-ok was always busy making her own decisions and taking care of things on her own, but since someone else did that for her and also shared the same goals as me, I think she started to see this person differently in those aspects of Tae-sang. & # 39; Attraction & # 39;, they must have felt the power of each other pulling each other, she explained.

Han So-hee said, “Usually when it comes to romance, it is overcome through the power of love, but Chae-ok and Tae-sang said, “Thank you. I’m sorry I can’t be with you’, ‘Please don’t die’ And we all go our separate ways. ‘I’ll go with you’ Not this. To me, that actually struck me as romantic. Because we really love and care for each other, we don’t want to interfere with each other’s lives. If you say it’s love, it’s probably love. He emphasized the difference by saying, ‘You do well, and I will do well too. Once we did what we had to do, I felt love there.’

At the same time, he said, “In Gyeongseong Creature,” the love between Chae-ok and Tae-sang includes not only love between a man and a woman, but also comradeship. I thought the focus of our drama was not solely on the two men and women, but on showing the lives of many people who lived in that era. “I hope that people will look at it in a variety of ways by focusing on various lives rather than focusing too much on Tae-sang and Chae-ok,” he said.

Han So-hee’s attitude of accepting likes and dislikes in a mature manner, similar to the attack on malicious comments, stands out and shows her strong inner self. He said, “I really put my heart into filming, but why don’t you really feel this?” I’ve never thought about it like that. We respect all opinions of viewers who have watched ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ That’s our job. If that feeling had not been conveyed, we would have missed something. It would be fortunate if everything was conveyed sincerely. Don’t think it’s a shame that we didn’t do that, but rather, ‘What did we miss?’ ‘Why wasn’t it conveyed? Why did it come into disfavor?’ You have to ask questions and research yourself, ‘Why can’t you understand?’ “I don’t think this is the case,” he said calmly.

Han So-hee used the word ‘respect’ for all reactions, but when people who found it uninteresting said they didn’t enjoy a certain part, I thought about what caused it, and if it was my acting ability, how could I have let go of my acting skills? “Why are you looking at my acting like that?” he said. I’m not holding you responsible for that. Complementing things is important, but I think it makes no sense to dismiss such comments as malicious comments and ignore them. I’m the type of person who has to read all the (malicious comments) even if I don’t want to. He repeatedly said, “The worries about how to go in a better direction are a boost to me.”

We did not forget to promote ‘Gyeongseong Creature 2’. Han So-hee said, “Season 2 unfolds very quickly, so you will be able to watch it with a sense of speed. He confidently stated, “It will be easier to watch than Season 1 because it is a modern product, set in 2024, and there are no unfamiliar words.”

When asked about his plans for his next project, he said, “I’ve been filming one project for two years, so I really don’t know what to do now.”For the next project, you must have both parents and be an ordinary college student living in your own apartment rather than renting it. My boyfriend is also decent, but he shouldn’t be too handsome and he shouldn’t cheat. “I know,” she said jokingly, “I had a boyfriend in “The World of the Married,” but it was all wrong,” causing laughter.

What do you think about the fact that it has gained a global influence that cannot be ignored due to its soaring popularity? In response, Han So-hee said, “I’m not scared (of the ripple effect),”and added, “Then I think I should read better books, carry a bag that can carry more, and wear clothes that are easier to find.”The clothes I wear are most easily available. I buy a lot of clothes at KuO. “This phone case I’m using right now was also purchased from Kuo,” he said, holding out his cell phone cutely.

He continued, “When you imitate something from someone you like, isn’t it good if you can easily do it? However, rather than aiming for something like that, I just want to wear the same case and carry the same bag as the fans,” he said, showing off his unstoppable love for his fans.

Finally, Han So-hee said, “I want to become an actor with a color that only I can show.” To put it bluntly, I want to become an irreplaceable person. Not only as an actor, but in all aspects, ‘I’m the only one who can do it’ “My goal is to become this kind of person,” he confidently stated.
