Park Bo-kyung "Career break for 10 years, I never cried, but what do I believe in..."

Actor Park Bo-kyung expressed his feelings about appearing in consecutive works after a break in his career.

Park Bo-kyung met with Ten Asia at WeWork Yeouido Station in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 20th and told various stories about the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Bad Mother'.

'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 wife of a village head, a mother of a dog tiger, and the daughter of a yakuza who frightens the villagers by committing clumsy murder over a mask pack. 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 married actor Jin Seon-gyu in 2011 and has one son and one daughter. Previously, Jin Seon-gyu said, “I felt strange because I came out as a single article rather than an article through me. I like it when my wife goes to the field. Hearing that it was like this and that today on set, I felt joy and happiness.”

On this day, Park Bo-kyung said, "For 10 years, I didn't show that I was sad or wanted to (act). I knew (Jin Seon-gyu) was a person who was always sorry. It was our decision to ask to have a child, and I don't want to leave it to someone else. I wasn't in that position. So I said, 'I'll raise you,' and 'Do well.'

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."

Park Bo-kyung said, "I wondered why it took so long. I chattered to my husband about what had happened on the set, saying that I had met the project and that something had happened to my seniors today. My husband said, 'You look good, honey.' So, 'I look good.' ?’ and he said, ‘You really like it.’ Only then did he say, ‘I like you.’”

Also, "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 quickly. In 'Mom', I tried to do mask pack heads and wives. Actually, 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. I waited and waited and (other roles) came in."

Park Bo-kyung, who said it was a realistic style, also mentioned the situation in which he resumed his career after a break. He said, "That's really difficult, but it's hope torture. I didn't want to hear (such words) either. I still don't say that to anyone. They say, 'Someday it will be. Look at me. Look at me', but it's really difficult on this floor. "So 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."
