For Han Seung-yeon (37), a member of Kara and actor, 'Chunhwa Love Story' was a process of breaking the limit.

The original TVing series 『Chunhwa Love Story』 (written by Seo Eun-jung and directed by Lee Kwang-young) depicts a romance in which Princess Hwari (Gohara), a royal princess, comes out to the world to choose her husband and enjoys a free love affair. Han Seung-yeon was praised for her impressive performance by playing the role of Kyu-soo, a Yangga house with high self-esteem, and portraying a strong appearance until the end.

Han Seung-yeon met with Sports Chosun on the 10th and looked back on the filming of 'Chunhwa Love Story'. From the planning stage, Chunhwa Love Story drew attention as it was produced as a juvenile management grade. As a result, there were concerns that the actors might be involved in high-level political affairs. Han Seung-yeon said "We thought it was a good work among ourselves, and we discussed a lot about that part (bed god and exposure) going into the narrative. There was a lot of pressure from the meeting before the first casting, and there was also a part where I talked a lot with the production company and the director and matched it. I wanted it to be pretty rather than obscene. The narrative of Jiwon and Yeol (Kim Taek) has to be pure, so I thought that if I concentrate too much on that side (Seonjeongseong), my charm could be halved, so I did it while being considerate while controlling a lot."




An unconventional bed scene also appeared in the play. Although the exposure was not deep, many viewers were shocked by the image during Han Seung-yeon. Han Seung-yeon laughed, `It's not as revealing as the collar costume.' He is just a top with wide pants when he looks at his clothes. Those are long pants, too. It's not racy, but the atmosphere was sharp. It seems that the setting of taking the lead in the setting of the first night was due to the lighting and atmosphere of the day. I just accepted it as work, and I also felt that if it was too difficult and burdensome to act, the width would narrow. As I said at the production presentation, I've been an adult since my debut and I've never shown you a minor, so why are you so shocked? It's difficult, but if there's a good work next time, I'll work hard."

Han Seung-yeon then said "I think there are still people who see me as young. I still remember how I was in my early 20s and heard about it while I was debuting, so I think there are parts where my image is built younger, but my identity is just that. I'm not saying you have to act young because you look young, but I'm just an adult woman, an actor and a singer, and I didn't think much about kissing scenes or concentrating exposure in deciding on a work. I thought it was natural, and I thought there was a part in the work that an actor wanted to melt. I think the fans were more surprised than I thought. "Huh? I think there's something I have to overcome because I'm an adult actor."

It is Han Seung-yeon, who is breaking her image with unconventional scenes. Han Seung-yeon, who began her acting career in earnest with the 'Youth Era', entered her 10th year of acting this year. Han Seung-yeon said "I think my growth is slow. There are times when I think that I'm doing it a little excessively step by step. But in the past, there were times when I was criticized whenever I did something, and there were times when I felt disappointed 'What's wrong with me?' but these days, I don't. There are many more people who have encountered me as a singer Han Seung-yeon, but when they saw me as an actor, they said, `I didn't know who it was, and when I watched it, it was Han Seung-yeon, so I was proud of it.'




Han Seung-yeon is looking for a breakthrough in everyday life along with image transformation. Scuba diving in monotonous daily life has given me a breath. Han Seung-yeon began scuba diving at the end of her contract with her former agency DSP Media. Until then, it was difficult to eat with strangers. But since I love water so much, I went out on a boat with strangers for the first time, went scuba diving, drank and ate, drank and danced at a restaurant I didn't know. Scuba diving was an aberration and a challenge. Since then, I've experienced many people through diving and experienced the situation, and I've only done something since I was in my late 20s. That's the biggest outing for me."

Han Seung-yeon said, `I was frustrated with the previous situations. It was like a fool. I've been abroad a lot, but I've never traveled, I've never been on a plane alone, and it was hard to eat or talk to someone I don't know. I was frustrated because I was living with people I knew every day, and that was when I started acting and had a desire to be good at acting. I thought I wasn't doing what others took for granted, so I should break thisappear to have thought ' At that time, I don't know if I could go back to work or not, and I didn't have the next schedule or the next company, so I think I was thinking, "Should I be a free human being?" These days, I'm having so much fun going hiking. It's so natural to stand in line for people to drink coffee and eat, so I feel like I'm opening up, and I learn a lot, and it's also helping me understand the acting script. With a lot of frustration refined, I thought he was an actor after escaping from the life of an idol.

Han Seung-yeon, who lost a kind of 'goal' by going from singer to actor, has now set a specific goal. Acting in one frame with actor Hwang Jung-min. Han Seung-yeon "I want to be in the same angle with Hwang Jung-min. I think that alone will mean a lot. My dream is to be in the same angle with you. I think I can do it if I have one of these."

Seung-yeon said, "'I want to be a singer' and 'I want to be number one' since I was young until I turned into an actor,' and it wasn't that solid, but it came true. I did it if I wanted to do a concert, and I did it if I wanted to do it at Tokyo Dome. It's enough to say something like Oricon. From someone's point of view, it wasn't a successful success, but he did what he did." "After becoming an actor, he lost his point. I felt that the point where I had to run was ambiguous. I thought about what goal I should have. It was easy to say, so I lost my way about how well I should be able to say that I am good at acting and being loved. That's why people don't have dreams. I just felt like I was working and hope, so I didn't have the expectation to go this far, and I just felt that I finished the work well and I was happy. It was Hwang Jung-min who caught my eye at that time, and his presence alone means a lot. I went to see Hwang Jung-min's play at that time, the quality of the good script, his capabilities, and I was so in love with him. I was so moved that I thought it would be enough if I could be in the same angle as him"It made us look forward to future development.
