Actress Chu So-jung returns as a character who carries anxiety beneath perfection.
The film in which Chu So-jung grants, "Eighteen youth," is a work that records the radiant youth of finding one's sense of existence when a cool teacher with an unusual view on education, Hee-ju (Jeon So-min), meets an 18-year-old high school student, Soon-jeong (Kim Doyeon), who finds such a homeroom teacher nothing but annoying.
Among them, Chu So-jung adds tension that shakes the flow of the story by playing the role of honor student Kyung-hee, who values principles and order. In the previously released main trailer, she perfectly portrayed the meticulous character with her hair tied tightly, glasses on, and an unwavering gaze. On the other hand, the image of her crying endlessly after being slapped revealed Kyung-hee's unstable inner self in the film and raised curiosity about what incident might occur in the story and the character's narrative.
Chu So-jung has shown excellent character interpretation through various works so far. At the previously held "Eighteen youth" press screening, she said, "Outwardly she appears to be a flawless and perfect person, but I tried to focus on Kyung-hee's inner self," revealing her passion for analyzing the character and raising expectations. Attention is thus focused on Chu So-jung, who will build another layer of emotion in "Eighteen youth."
Meanwhile, the film in which Chu So-jung grants, "Eighteen youth," opens on the 25th.
