Actor Jung Soojung spoke about the character in "Jjanggu."
On the 16th at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul, a press screening and press conference for the film "Jjanggu" were held. The event was attended by actors Jung Woo, Jung Soojung, Shin Seung-ho, Jo Beom-gyu, Kwon So-hyun, and director Oh Seong-ho.
The film "Jjanggu" is a cheerful and impassioned challenge drama about audition prodigy Jjanggu (Jung Woo), who, despite being broken and frustrated each time, endures and rises again with the single wish to become an actor.
Jung Soojung gave a passionate performance in the role of the mysterious woman Min-hee. On the day, Jung Soojung said about taking the role, "I watched senior Jung Woo's film "Baram" and was very curious about the sequel, and when I was offered the role I read it with interest. I also wanted to work with senior Jung Woo, so I decided to do it."
Min-hee was portrayed as a lover who seems wealthy but whose true feelings for Jjanggu are hard to know. Jung Soojung said, "Actually Min-hee is not really the daughter of a very wealthy family. Outwardly she seems like a relaxed friend, but behind that there is a lot of hidden hardship."
She continued, "When you watch the film, Min-hee might seem like she is lying. She is unknowable. She may appear as if you can't tell what she's thinking, but when I acted I believed it was all real. Her feelings for Jjanggu are sincere. At first she treated Jjanggu playfully, but as time passed, through Jjanggu, I felt Min-hee's heart came to receive things more truly. I thought it was real," she said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Jung Woo added, "The Min-hee character isn't from an extremely rich family itself, but she lives in a wealthy environment. Yet there are friends who drive nice cars and wear nice clothes but are overwhelmed by their card bills. I made the character with that kind of feeling in mind."
