Actress Bae Doo-na revealed that she learned dancing for a month for the movie 'Next Sohee'.
On the afternoon of the 31st, a press screening for the movie 'Next Sohee' (directed by Jeong Ju-ri) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Bae Doo-na, Kim Si-eun, and director Jeong Ju-ri attended the press conference held after the preview.
'Next Sohee' is an intense story about an incident that Sohee (played by Si-eun Kim), a confident 18-year-old high school student, experiences while going on field training, and Eugene (played by Doo-na Bae), a detective who investigates it, encounters it in the same space but at a different time. Last year, it was the first Korean film to be selected as the closing film of the Critics Week at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival.
In the play, Bae Doo-na plays the role of Oh Yu-jin, a detective who returns to work after a long absence. Oh Yu-jin is a character who retraces So-hee's footsteps.
On this day, Bae Doo-na said, "You might be surprised by the scene in which I appear. You might laugh out loud. Eugene also likes dancing. He is someone who learned to dance later in life as he got older." He added, "I learned to dance for this role. I danced hip-hop while showing off my swag." He said.
He then added, "I learned how to dance for a month. The director really wanted a character who is this serious and immersed in dance. I learned archery, table tennis, and dancing, too," making him laugh.
Meanwhile, 'Next Sohee' will be released on February 8th.
