Nana, known for her role in 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint,' revealed her desire to take on action roles.
On the 17th, a production briefing for the film 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' (hereafter referred to as 'ORV') was held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Jayang-dong, Seoul. The event was attended by director Kim Byung-woo and actors Ahn Hyo-seop, Lee Min-ho, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, and Nana.
'ORV' is a fantasy action film based on the novel of the same name, which depicts the events that unfold when the world within a novel, serialized for over ten years, becomes reality on the day the novel concludes. The original novel is titled 'Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World.'
Nana plays the role of Jung Hee-won, one of the characters from the novel. She shared, “Before receiving the script, I was briefed by my company about the project, the director, the production company, and the character. I had great trust in Director Kim's work. I watched 'Along with the Gods' by Realize Pictures' CEO Won Dong-yeon, and I felt confident that they could handle a project of this scale. With that trust as a foundation, I read the script.” She continued, “I wasn't familiar with the original work before reading the script. Seeing it without prior knowledge was refreshing. I thought, 'Is it possible to produce such a film in Korea?' and I was curious about how it would be to shoot with a blue screen.” She also confessed, “I've always had a thirst for action roles in my acting career. When it comes to fantasy, there's a lot that audiences are willing to accept, so I thought it was worth the challenge.”
'ORV' is set to premiere on July 23rd.
