Park Bo-kyung, 'career break' after giving birth 10 years of luck "It's like a dream"

Actor Park Bo-kyung, who had been on stage as a theater actor, had a break in his career for 10 years after giving birth. As an actress, it's unfortunate, but as a mother, it's a joy. Park Bo-kyung, who goes back and forth between an actor and her mother, expressed luck as what happened to her.

Park Bo-kyung married actor Jin Seon-gyu in 2011 and has one son and one daughter. Previously, Jin Seon-gyu said, "I like it when my wife goes to the field. Isn't there something called a facial expression after going out and coming back to the field? I felt it," he said.

Park Bo-kyung said, "I didn't show any signs of being sad or wanting to (act) for 10 years. I knew that (Jin Seon-gyu) was always apologetic. It was our decision to ask to have a child, and we don't want to leave it to someone else, and we couldn't. I wasn't in the same situation. So I said, 'I'll raise you' and 'Do your best.' I never cried or showed depression."

He continued, "But I really wanted to go to the set. There were times when I cried alone, and I thought that I was someone who shouldn't dream of being an actor. Children need me. I stayed with my mother and said that I wasn't going out because something happened right away. Also, 'Bad Mom' is not a stressful scene, I really wanted to go."

Debuting as a theater actor, Park Bo-kyung appeared in dramas such as 'The Running Investigator', 'The Host', 'We're Breaking Up', and 'Little Women'. Appearing in 'Hwaran', which was officially invited to the Un Certain Regard section of the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, is about to be released. He revealed his presence as the wife of a mask pack manager through the recently ended 'Bad Mom'.

'Bad Mother', which started with a viewer rating of 3.6% and reaped an enduring beauty of 12%, is a mother who had no choice but to be a stubbornly bad mother for her child, Yeong-soon (played by Ra Mi-ran), and her son Kang-ho (played by Lee Do-hyun), who became a child in an unexpected accident. Station) depicts the story of finding lost happiness.

In the play, Park Bo-kyung played a woman with a strange-looking tattoo hidden under her skirt and rumors that she is the daughter of a yakuza, a dog tiger mother, and a Mrs. In particular, it ranked 6th in the search issue keyword ranking for drama performers in the 4th week of May announced by Good Data Corporation, a K-content topical analysis agency.

Park Bo-kyung said, "I thought that I would be able to act as a grandmother on the theater stage when the children are all grown up. In fact, I hadn't even thought about the media. I think the opportunity came soon. In 'Bad Mom', I tried to do mask pack heads and wives. In fact, I thought I would only play the role of a mother. I'm sorry for the company, but I said I didn't want to play a mother role. "If I continue"), I'm afraid it will harden into that image. But I don't know what I believed in it. As I waited and waited, (other roles) came in."

Regarding the break in his career, he said, "It's really difficult, but it's hope torture. I didn't want to hear that either. I still don't say that to anyone. They say, 'Someday it will be. It's really difficult. That's why I don't say those things at all. When we meet, we talk about something else or about raising children."

Park Bo-kyung said, “When I tell them that I am happy with my work, they say, ‘Thank you, this is how I come back to my life. My life is a family. Aren't you taking a break if your work doesn't come in? Not long ago, I met (Oh) Man-seok's brother. Among what he said, I sympathized with the words, 'Learning is unemployed for life.' The words were good, so I think I'm an actor only when I'm working, and I think I have to live my life."

Also, "It's like a dream, it's like a lie. Even when I was performing in a play, only a few seniors did media acting. Now, it feels like the boundaries are a little wider. I've been on stage for over 10 years, and I was surprised to see the media audition. . Of course, I fell a lot, but it was like a dream to me.

Park Bo-kyung said, "When I went to filming, the kids asked me, 'Since when did you want to become an actor?' I didn't know that I was a performer. My mom just knew that I was a mother. I know that an actor just has to do it. These days, I'm receiving PT for my next work. I feel like I'm going to die because it's a character with a solid body, not my mother's body. It feels good when I crawl out of bed with a sick body. So far, I've been lucky enough to prepare a new character. I have time to prepare in advance to meet him. I am grateful and happy that I am preparing for a new character."
