Actor Son Ye-jin complained about the pressure she feels whenever she stars in female-centered works as a female actor.
On the 21st, a video titled "But the son is so pretty, Yejin.. the genes are unstoppable, right?" was uploaded to the "Yojung Jaehyung" channel.
That day Jeong Jae-hyung mentioned the film "The Last Princess," in which Son Ye-jin had grants, and asked, "You cried so much during 'The Last Princess,' right?" To this, Son Ye-jin confided, "I cried after the (premiere). I just cried because I was sad."
Jeong Jae-hyung asked, "Because of Korea's situations?" and Son Ye-jin said, "Seeing those situations and the tragic lives of women more objectively made it sadder than when I acted them."
He said, "There was pressure that I had to portray a historical figure well, and the fact that a female actor carries a film, even a somewhat major one, is truly a lot of pressure. Unlike male actors. Those kinds of films aren't naturally made, and if I do this and it flops, it won't be made anymore. 'See, it won't work,' there was fear of that kind of thinking," expressing his difficulties.
She continued, "So I woke up at 6 a.m. There is a neighborhood playground. I listened to earphones and walked every day. Emotionally it was always one hill after another. I had to keep exploding; there were many scenes with very intense emotions."
To this Jeong Jae-hyung asked, "Wasn't it your first time doing the narrative of one person?" and Son Ye-jin replied, "That's right. Especially a historical figure," adding an episode, "I dreamed about Princess Deokhye."
