Jung Kyung-ho would have been upset by Choi Soo-young's tears… "It felt lonelier because I was alone"
Girls' Generation's Choi Soo-young candidly revealed the loneliness and tears she felt during her Hollywood debut process.
On the YouTube channel 'SalonDrip2', a video titled 'The difference between a man saying "cute" and a woman saying "cute" | EP.119' was released recently, and singer and actress Choi Soo-young and actor Kim Jae-young appeared on the show.
Choi Soo-young, who has run tirelessly since her debut in 2007, said she recently reached a turning point in her life by entering Hollywood with the film 'Ballerina.' She said, "I stayed abroad alone for three weeks," and "From the moment I got off at the airport, the production company took careful care of me, but the fact that I was actually alone felt huge."
She added, "I thought I would be fine even if no one was next to me, but being alone made everything feel sad," and recalled, "Even when I spoke in English, I kept worrying, 'Did I perhaps say something rude?' I watched the other person's reaction the next day, shut my mouth alone and wore earphones." Choi Soo-young confessed, "There was about a week when I was pathetically alone. But that time was necessary," and "During that period I really cried once," surprising the cast.
She also talked about Hollywood action training. She said, "Even if a move isn't used on set, action training is always done for actors' safety," and said, "I learned the action of being shot and falling from the 'John Wick' stunt team." She added with a laugh, "When I showed it, they said, 'It looks like a K-drama female lead,' and when I asked, 'So what?' they explained there is a beat to slowly fall in a bust shot. But the stunt director asked, 'Do it John Wick style,' and demanded a beat where you die immediately."
Choi Soo-young said, "At first I struggled to hold back laughter, but when I actually tried it, they said I did well," and candidly revealed, "There was no malice in that comment, but because it was such a sorrowful time, I thought, 'So what.'" She said that afterward she built deep trust with the stunt director. She said, "He said, 'You are my friend. I hope you get one more cut,'" and laughed, "It meant to die well." She added, "That way we really became friends."
Choi Soo-young recalled her feelings at the time, saying, "Life abroad was all new, and even the moment I bought water at a supermarket and returned to my accommodation I suddenly felt sad."
Meanwhile, Choi Soo-young began a public relationship with actor Jung Kyung-ho in 2012, and this year marks 14 years of their relationship. Jung Kyung-ho also likely felt more concerned than anyone by her tearful confession.
