Jeon Jong-seo Opens Up About Her Role in 'Project Y' and Working with Han So-hee

Actress Jeon Jong-seo shares her thoughts on choosing her latest project and her candid feelings as the release date approaches.

On the 9th, at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, Jeon Jong-seo discussed her upcoming film 'Project Y' with reporters. Set to premiere on the 21st, 'Project Y' (directed by Lee Hwan) tells the story of Mi-seon and Do-kyung, who, while dreaming of a different future in the heart of a bustling city, find themselves on the edge of life, stealing black money and gold bars.

In the film, Jeon Jong-seo plays the role of Do-kyung, who makes a living driving a private call taxi. Jeon shared, "I was offered this script at a time when it felt like people weren't going to the movies and the film industry itself seemed paralyzed."

Jeon also spoke about her co-star, Han So-hee, who is the same age as her. She said, "I thought that if Han So-hee and I could really give it our all in this project, it could become a hot topic. Even just reading the logline, there was something that really caught my interest. That's why I decided to take on the challenge, despite the tough times for the film industry."

As the release date nears, Jeon expressed her current mindset calmly. She stated, "Ultimately, once the film is released, it's up to the audience to judge. I know I'll receive both harsh and favorable reviews, but I'm ready to accept them all, whether they are sticks or carrots."
