Jinju Park “Thanks to Yoo Jae-seok, my life turned upside down”

Actor Park Jin-joo mentioned Yoo Jae-seok, who is appearing with him on MBC's 'What Do You Do When You Play?'

On the afternoon of the 16th, Jinju Park told various stories about the movie 'Hero' (directed by Je-gyun Yoon) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

'Hero' depicts the unforgettable last year of Ahn Jung-geun, who killed Ito Hirobumi in Harbin in October 1909 and was sentenced to death by a Japanese court, from the time he prepared for his rebellion to the moment of his death. movie. Park Jin-joo played the role of Ma Jin-ju, a reliable helper of the independence army.

On this day, Park Jin-joo said about the MBC entertainment show 'Hangout?', on which she is currently appearing, "Going to film every Thursday feels like going to an audition. I got to participate in a program that has such weight and is held at such a good time, but I don't feel this much weight." It doesn't make sense. I have to carry the natural pain and weight, but I feel that I will be loved and develop. I don't necessarily do things that I think people will dislike or criticize. So I think it's a challenge, and I think I'm constantly waking up. “I film ‘What Do You Do When You Hang Out?’ on Thursday, and I pray sincerely on Wednesday, the day before.”

He continued, "There is no one who can't make a plan like me. Even if you look at other actors, they have plans and goals. There are days when modifiers such as 'trending', 'rising', and 'hot' are added in the middle, and they fail. I decided to do this for a long time. "All I could think about was living an ordinary but acting-like life. I think director Je-kyun Yoon and senior Jae-seok Yoo knew that I wasn't a kid with a goal and caught me," he added.

Park Jin-ju said, "I think Director Yoon Je-gyun and senior Yoo Jae-seok think I'm a waste. I've never thought of a line like this. In fact, I'm not the type of person who is good or good at communicating with directors or seniors. When I won the Rookie of the Year award at the 'Entertainment Awards', I “I was going to say that I was only surrounded by good people rather than that I did well, but I was so nervous that I forgot. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like that,” he said, making everyone laugh.

Jin-joo Park said, "Even when I received the Rookie of the Year award, I tried not to sound like a goat. I had imagined myself as a cool person. We are all sincere in 'Hero'. We learned that sincerity from director Je-gyun Yoon. After greeting from the Busan stage, I heard the director's personal story at a company dinner. “If there is senior Yoo Jae-seok in the entertainment world, there is director Yoon Je-gyun in the film world. Director Yoon Je-gyun memorizes the names of all the staff members,” he said, expressing his affection.

Also, “Senior Yoo Jae-seok and Director Yoon Je-gyun always say the same thing. The keywords are ‘You are better than you think’, ‘It is the world that determines your position, but you never know who will shine in the end’, ‘Always at that moment. He said, ‘You have to be sincere and do your best.’ In fact, there were many opinions on ‘What do you do when you play?’ Senior Yoo Jae-seok said, ‘Jinju, that’s natural,’ ‘We just have to work hard,’ ‘ He said, ‘Don’t think about anything else.’ When I asked him if he thought I was scared, unhelpful, or not funny, he sincerely told me, ‘Just trust me and go.’”



Park Jin-joo said, "I have never been criticized like that in my life. I worked hard for my role in the drama. I was also scared because it was my first time receiving direct feedback. (Yoo Jae-seok) told me to trust us." “You are the person who turned my life upside down. What you say is important, but I think just seeing you as a person is someone who changes the lives of those around you,” he said with a laugh.

Jinju Park said, "Senior Yoo Jae-seok said that he thinks about every detail and lives as if he has a life plan. I think that's the only way to control it." He added, "'What do you do when you play?' The members are excited. (Lee) Mi-joo, (Lee) Lee-kyung, and (Shin) Bong-seon watched ‘Hero.’ Senior Jeong Jun-ha and Haha said they did not. Senior Yoo Jae-seok decided to come to the ‘Hero’ VIP screening. “I did, but the day before, senior Haha couldn’t come because he was diagnosed with COVID-19. After that, he said he was busy and hadn’t seen him yet.”

Park Jin-joo said, "I kept asking questions while filming. However, it was edited out. The story continues. Senior Haha sent me a proof shot, saying, 'I really enjoyed it.' The proof shot was a saved proof shot sent by Bong-seon. I was moved for a moment. "It makes me angry. He jokes a lot more than I expected. But you saw 'The First Slam Dunk'. Of course, just because you didn't watch 'Hero' doesn't mean you're a bad X," he said, making everyone burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, 'Hero' was released on December 21 last year.
