Shin Hye-sun and Byun Yo-han reunite after 7 years with 'She's Dead'... “The key is to work together to win.”

"To be honest, I don't have an attractive personality, and I'm not particularly good at anything. However, when I act, I think it's really fun and good because I can transform into a different character than myself and express my own charm and energy. The total amount of energy is not that big. However, the total amount of smoke is full."

Actress Shin Hye-sun, who met with Ten Asia at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 7th, said this about the driving force that has allowed her to continue acting for 12 years. He debuted in KBS2's 'School 2013' in 2012 and established himself as a 'trustworthy actor' to the public by appearing in dramas and movies. He was fascinated by the characters of each work and maximized his charm, and at the interview site, he warmly welcomed the reporters in simple attire. Although she was said to be introverted and had little energy, Shin Hye-sun's unique positivity and easy-going nature created a lively atmosphere on set.

The movie 'She's Dead', which is scheduled to be released on the 15th, tells the story of the meeting between a voyeur and a 'fan' (a person who wants to receive excessive attention), and the meeting of abnormal people. Shin Hye-sun plays the role of Han So-ra, an influencer who makes a living by stealing other people's attention.

“I never thought I was a ‘fanboy.’ When I thought about it while I was working on the project, I realized that I might just be a fanboy who pretends to be cool. It’s burdensome to get attention, but on the other hand, I’m also upset when I don’t receive it (laughs).”

Shin Hye-sun said, "It is positive to receive a lot of positive attention while working as an actor. It is burdensome to receive attention in a non-professional way. There is a gap between my personality when I was working as an actor and my real personality, but it seems to be merging positively as time goes by." He smiled.

He usually doesn't enjoy social media. Shin Hye-sun joked, "Personally, I feel like using SNS is difficult. But I'm working hard. It's definitely not something I do out of a sense of responsibility and mission as a celebrity. It's not something I enjoy, but I get the feeling when it's the right time."

"I went to many hot places with the director to film. It was my first time going somewhere to take pictures. It felt like taking pictures with the director was more work than filming a movie (laughs). Strange things happen when you do it. “As ideas came to me and my passion soared, I started having more and more fun.”

Shin Hye-sun, who has performed passionately in every work, found interest in this work as well, doing her best in areas that felt unfamiliar and difficult. He honestly confessed, "I'm a lot better than before, but it's still not easy to show myself."

Seven years after the movie 'One Day', which was released in 2017, Shin Hye-sun met again with actor Byun Yo-han. He said, "When I filmed 'Haru', I had a very strong sense of a senior to me. At that time, I was disappointed that it wasn't a role where we met often and exchanged lines. This time, we played opposing characters. The point was that we worked together to overcome each other, and we got along better than I thought." He expressed satisfaction. He then spoke positively, saying, "I felt like the wheels were coming together well while acting. I also liked the feeling of the energies coming together."

"I'm not sure what my image is (laughter). So I didn't even want to break away from it. However, it's true that I feel more attracted to conflicting characters in the current situation. When I chose 'She Is Dead', I chose the drama 'Queen Iron Man'. ' I was fascinated by the contrasting characteristics."

Shin Hye-sun revealed that she filmed 'She Is Dead' and 'Queen Iron Man' at the same time. He drew attention by saying, "It was physically difficult, but I actually liked the role because it had a different personality. If it had been similar, it would have been confusing and difficult." Shin Hye-sun is expanding her acting spectrum regardless of genre, from romantic comedies to thrillers.

"Recently, I felt embarrassed to show my (introverted) tendencies. Now I want to have an image of living a lively life (laughter). I'm not young, but I recently realized that I don't live a motivated life. I need to be a little more energetic. “I feel like I have it, so I’m working out hard.”

Shin Hye-sun, who said she enjoys spending time at home, said she dreams of a more vibrant life. He was happy and said, “Thanks to the increased participation in exercise these days, my parents have also praised me.”

It took about three years for 'She Is Dead' to be released. Shin Hye-sun showed a positive side, saying, "There were various situations. There was a period of time where I could pay more attention to editing. I wasn't putting it aside, I was just watching the timing. I never thought that it wouldn't be released." Ahead of the release of his work on the 15th, he said, "I am happy to be able to see it with my own eyes. Regardless of box office success, it has deep meaning in my life."

Regarding the release date overlapping with 'Crime City 4', he said, "I have never thought about winning or losing. It would be good if both movies do well. They each have their own charms, so it would be nice if they could be promoted together." Shin Hye-sun then defined 'She's Dead' as an 'MZ thriller'. As for the reason, he appealed, "It's a no-frills movie. It's a straight, fast-paced movie that only says what it wants to say without being boring."
