Ku Hye-sun appeared on TV Chosun's 'Gourmet Heo Young-man's Alumni Journey', which aired on the 14th.
Ku Hye-sun expanded her scope not only as an actress but also as a film director. Ku Hye-sun started making short films by directing 'The Cheerful Helper' in 2008 and has 18 years of experience. Ku Hye-sun not only directs but also writes the screenplay. Ku Hye-sun said that her fellow actors helped her in both material and spiritual ways in her directorial challenge. Ku Hye-sun is said to have directed a total of 10 movies.
Goo Hye-sun, referring to Cho Seung-woo, said, "When I act like I'm killing people, people ask me if I'm really killing them, but that's when I really came to the realization. I thought I had to direct it to make it look realistic, and then I realized I wasn't actually doing it that way."
Heo Young-man asked, "You are working on a variety of things, from movies to music to directing. Do you have anything in mind right now?" Goo Hye-sun said, "I did an experiment once before. Let's try a project where you sleep in a movie theater. So, I submitted a video to the Jecheon Music and Film Festival. “I submitted a film that didn’t exist at all, and the title was ‘Sleep.’”
He, who has taken on many challenges from composing to painting, smiled and said, "At first, I heard a lot of people asking me why I was doing this and that. But they also said that I had to do one thing for at least 10 years, so I did it for more than 10 years."
Meanwhile, Ku Hye-sun recently resumed performing arts alongside her ex-husband, actor Ahn Jae-hyun.
