I knew it was a good story but I was not confident in playing it well at that time. It was a work that made me feel greedy but a little burdensome at the same time. I was afraid and I wondered if I could perform it without hurting anyone or not. It felt really difficult but at some point, I found a clue, and from then on, it was solved. There was a time when I felt the expectation that the director and writer had for me. I also have faith in myself. This work sometimes reminds me of my belief and it has given me the courage to face my fear.” Cosmopolitan.
I studied like a student preparing for an exam. I tried to memorize the script by writing down the lines on the paper, find ways to clearly deliver the lines and revise the sentences. It was an intense seven months. Many scenes from ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ were an experiment to test my limits as an actor and a human being.” The Korean Herald
