The OCN Saturday and Sunday drama’Amazing Rumors’ that showed the possibility of becoming a Korean hero ended on the 24th. ‘Counters’, a demon hunter connected with’Yong’ who guards the boundary between this and the next, captured the hearts of viewers with exhilarating action. OCN recorded the highest viewership rating of 11%, and early season 2 production was announced. Actor Kim Se-jeong (25), who played Dohana’s role, armed with an excellent sense of recognizing even evil spirits outside of a thousand, and a psychometric ability to read memories with the touch of a hand, said in a written interview, It wasn’t very sad. Probably because of the conviction that this will not be the last time,” he said, “even if it is not season 2, the relationship will continue in the future.”

The character he showed in this work is quite different from the appearance of Kim Se-jung that has been shown on the air. After debuting with Mnet’Produce 101′ (2016), the bright smile that he showed while working as a girl group Iowa and Gugudan disappeared everywhere, serving a noodle restaurant with a sore expression, and kicking in an expressionless manner. Teaching rumors (Byeong-gyu Cho) who came as the youngest member of Counters is more of an older brother than an older sister. This is because the defense mechanism that all the family members died and survived alone and could not protect their own lives was in action. He was extremely reluctant to approach others first in case he would find out his past, but gradually opening his mind to the counters and learning new emotions is impressive.

“I am thrilled on the day of action shooting… So much fun”

“The background until the character is created can be dark, but I didn’t want to look like a dark and dull child,” he said. “I thought it would be nice if the darkness came out naturally. When I see the emotions that collapse only in front of the counters, I think one of the charms is that in fact, she is only a child and is a weak child who pretends to be strong on the outside.” The most memorable scene is the moment when you tell your younger brother, “I’m sorry.” “Before I filmed that scene, I first filmed the scene where my younger brother died. That’s why tears began to rise from the rehearsal. I think I was able to act better than the acting sketch I originally thought.”

Regarding the first challenged action acting, he expressed his innate talent, saying, “The day I had the action shooting was the most exciting.” He said, “The success of the action on that day seems to be judged by practice, calm, and mastery,” he said. “I pressed my emotions,” he revealed his own know-how. “I think physical strength is an advantage. No matter how hard your body is, your mind is awake, and when you have fun, you don’t feel tired. Every time I could do more and more movements, I felt delighted, and each time I thought,’It’s so fun, I want to continue.’”

“Junsang Yoo and Hye-ran Yeom learn humor and Byeong-gyu Cho’s affinity”

Gamo-Tak (Yoo Jun-sang) also cited the specialized abilities of each actor, such as the power of power, Chu Mae-ok (Yeom Hye-ran), the healing power, and the speed of rumors. “Yoo Jun-sang put one laugh in every scene, and Yeom Hye-ran made a funny joke more than anyone else. There are times when I think that if there is laughter in life as well as in work, it will be a much better life, but I think you work and act like that. Byeong-gyu Cho has an affinity that encompasses everyone. Actually I have a line. As a result, there are many cases where I hit the wall without knowing, but I always approached comfortably first. Thanks to that, I learned a lot while working together.”

Like the buzzword’Let’s walk only the flower road’, which was born at the time of appearing in’Produce’, he confessed that he was a friend who stopped looking forward to not wanting to be hurt like one. His debut work, KBS2’School 2017′, received the Rookie Award and received favorable reviews for’Listen to Your Song’ (2019), but he also struggled with the relatively low ratings. “Now it feels like I’ve put the first button on. It means that not one’wonderful rumors’ and Sejeong-yi have grown up.”

“I’m always living with album plans”

Although the Iowa reunion was broken and Gugudan announced the news of the recent dissolution, he said, “I am always making plans for an album. Maybe I’ll sing again.” “When I act, I miss the stage, and when I sing, I want to act. So, I’m trying to do everything hard without being biased towards any one. I thought that if I had a dream, I had to give up something, but when I looked at Yoo Jun-sang, I realized that it was not necessary. But always more challenging and something like a dream come IU seniors plugged into a role model, I would like to grow something one does not miss people like Yoo Jun-sang seniors. ”
