‘Strong Girl Bong-soon’ actress Park Bo Young talks about new project

South Korean actress Park Bo Young discussed her new film Concrete Utopia in a new interview with Dazed Korea. It was her first time sitting for an interview with the magazine in half a decade.

She remarked: “I wasn’t aware of it either, but it’s been a while since I’ve shot [for Dazed]. It was weird today [as I was looking at my photos]. It was weird but also really nice.”

Discussing making a return to the big screen with her new film, she explained: “I’m really looking forward to the release of ‘Concrete Utopia. I’m always interested in genres and characters I’ve never had experience working with before, but this kind of disaster film is seriously a first. I actually called the director myself.”

She continued: “Since I was playing the character Myung Hwa, I asked myself various questions like, ‘Can I do this as Myung Hwa would?’ and, ‘What would I have chosen if I were in this environment?’ She’s a very rational character and someone who can embrace others well,” adding further: “Aside from Myung Hwa, I also thought about what other characters I would be close to, and I don’t really think there’s a villain in this movie. There is no bad person or a bad choice, but it might just be the best a person can do.”
