Today on the set of this shoot, your Chanel playlist was on loop (available on Melon and Apple Music). The genres and musicians were all different — how did you pick them?
I enjoy listening to music on a daily basis; they are all songs that I really like. As it’s a playlist to be shared with many people, I thought it should be filled with a variety of music.
Rock band Sinawe and artist Kim Soo Cheol were a surprise. Are you very versatile when it comes to things you like?
Nowadays I’m into Chunhyangga pansori Parting Song (laughs). It’s the same with food, I’m not one who draws a line in any direction, and I believe there is a reason for the existence [of all things].
There were multiple movie OSTs too. Between Calm and Passion, Brokeback Mountain, A Star Is Born, and so on. Are these movies that you particularly like?
I used to watch Between Calm and Passion when I was young and I first dreamt of acting. I watched it alone while practising acting and writing reflections. I loved the OST so much that I even uploaded it onto my Cyworld mini homepage.
You’re well known for singing, such that you even appeared in music programmes. You were also cast in a musical movie about the life of a doctor, An Joong Geun, in Hero (to be released this summer). What was it like acting and singing?
I don’t sing professionally so I felt a lot of pressure. Singing at a karaoke session is totally different, so I took singing lessons. My character is the Korean Independence activist Seol Hee, and she has to express extreme emotions. The singing comes out in tiresome and difficult situations, so I really had to be acting aggressively yet be able to digest the song, while maintaining my act — that was extremely difficult.
