Actress Bae Doo-na revealed the reason why she chose 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. Also, 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, "I worked with director Jeong Joo-ri on 'Dohee.' Seven years later, he sent me his second work, which was 'Next Sohee.' The director wrote another good story, and I want to tell this story. “I thought it was poetry,” he said.
He added, "I once again fell in love with the material and the theme. I decided to do it because I wanted to be by the director's side, supporting him in whatever role he asked me to play."
Meanwhile, 'Next Sohee' will be released on February 8th.
