Kang So-ra "I'm a big fan of 'Idol Singles and I'm Solo'"

"Before filming this project, I looked up a lot of dating entertainment shows. I watched 'Difficult Couple', 'High School Dad', 'Idol Singles', 'Transit Love', and 'I Am Solo'. Among them, I am a fan of 'I Solo'. I enjoyed watching all of them very much. . The raw emotions seemed more urgent. It was similar to the role I played. It was awkward to show emotions and I didn't know what to do."

On the 24th, an interview with Kang So-ra of ENA's 'Can I Become a Man' was conducted at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. ‘Could I Be Someone Else’ is Kang So-ra’s drama comeback after 6 years. In the drama, Kang So-ra plays O Hara, a star lawyer specializing in divorce.

Kang So-ra, who married an Oriental medicine doctor 8 years older than her in 2020, gave birth to a daughter in April 2021 and took a long hiatus. As I came back after 6 years, I prepared my character thoroughly. He said he watched every dating-related show, including the most recent episodes.

He was also directly involved in styling. Kang So-ra, known as the epitome of 'office look', said, "I tried to look different from 'Misaeng'. In 'Misaeng', I wore clothes with a sense of life. I tried to look for something that was easily accessible rather than a luxury brand, and mainly chose achromatic colors. “I wore it so the fit wasn’t too tight,” he explained.

He continued, “This time, I am playing the role of a star lawyer, and since the character in the play is talented and rich, I tried to portray it in a flashy way. I tried to make people say, ‘Is this the only way to date a professional on the outside?’. Dressed more prettier. He added, “I did styling with the stylist in the beginning, and I also participated and talked about the emotional scenes in between.”

During her long absence, Kang So-ra was more passionate than anyone else. It was also impressive to see him answering questions with bright eyes like a new actor throughout the interview.

He said he didn’t feel any pressure playing the character of ‘Single Single’. Rather, he said he had high expectations. He confessed, "I had a strong desire to try it because it was something I hadn't done before. I was able to have fun with it with a new mindset."

Kang So-ra also expressed her gratitude to the actors she acted with. He said, "I thought Jang Seung-jo was really good at acting in a sly way. He was good at acting like a sly snake without being obnoxious. It was really nice to work with him this time. We talked a lot about acting together," he said. "It was a dull character, but I hope he appears in a cool role next time. Personally, I want to see my oppa's historical drama melodrama," he said.

He also said that he became very close personally with actress Jo Eun-ji, who played the role of Jade. He said, "I decided to go to a dance academy with Eunji from March. I think I talked to her the most on set. She is the kind of person who easily accepts whatever I say," and added, "Since she also debuted as a director, I can see the big picture on set." “He knew how to read. I received a lot of help in that regard,” he said.

Kang So-ra has not decided on her next project yet, but wants to meet the public as soon as possible. He said, "Work has become so much fun. I want to film my next work as soon as possible. Maybe it's because I've played a lot of professional characters so far, but I want to play a detective. I also have a desire for historical dramas. Isn't the emotion of historical dramas different from modern dramas? In reality, it's an experience. “Because I can’t do it, I want to meet him as a character,” he confessed.
