Q. What did you focus on while preparing for the role of Song Ha-young?
A. As a twin, I was curious about what it would be like to have a sister. I listened to stories from people with sisters and approached my interactions with Ha-dam as if I were looking at a cute baby. I wanted to portray Ha-young as a character who feels responsible and takes the lead, making her someone who creates a comfortable atmosphere at home.
Q. What did you want to convey through Song Ha-young?
A. I wanted to convey bright and energetic vibes through Ha-young. I hoped her moments of unrequited love, despite being clumsy in expressing it, would appear endearing. I wanted her to be remembered as an imperfect but relatable character.
Q. How was the atmosphere on set, and do you have any memorable episodes?
A. The atmosphere on set was great, with constant laughter. The senior actors made it comfortable, allowing me to try various things. I remember two episodes: one where we shouted by the river in freezing weather, and another where I was genuinely startled by a loud scene in the hospital, which was captured on camera.
Q. Do you have a memorable scene or line?
A. The scene where Ha-young confesses to Director Yeon stands out. It was a moment of courage for Ha-young, who decided not to run away but to face her feelings.
Q. What changes or realizations did you experience through this project?
A. The lines and scenes felt like advice from an adult, prompting self-reflection. It was a valuable project that helped me grow as an actor and a person.
Q. How do you imagine Ha-young's life after the series? Any words for her?
A. I imagine Ha-young enjoying a sweet romance with Director Yeon and expressing herself more honestly. To Ha-young, I'd say, "You did well with the confession. You're someone who deserves love!"
Q. How do you hope viewers remember this series?
A. I hope 'Your Glorious Season' is remembered as a warm respite in busy lives, offering comfort and empathy to those experiencing their own seasons.
Q. What roles or genres do you want to explore in the future?
A. I want to challenge myself with various genres, including historical dramas, action, and thrillers. I also hope to show a more natural and relaxed side of myself.
Q. Any final words?
It's already April 2026. I wish everyone good health and a year filled with great things. Just as you support me, I will always support you. Thank you.
