Cho Yu-ri (24), a singer from Iz*One, answered the controversy over her lack of acting skills.
The original Netflix series 'Squid Game 3' (directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk) depicts Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae) who lost his best friend in a game that he participated again with his own purpose, the frontman (Lee Byung-hun), who hid in the game while hiding his identity, and the final fate of the participants who survived the cruel game. Cho Yu-ri played Jun-hee, the most epic beneficiary of the play, but she was put on the cutting board due to her lack of acting skills. Cho Yu-ri met with Sports Chosun on the 8th and watched the season 3 with so much immersion that she watched it all from her seat. While watching season 3, he praised himself, saying, `I felt that I could make this expression as well.'
However, some people expressed regret over Cho Yu-ri's facial expression. Jun-hee in "Squid Game 3" was the person who could benefit the most in the play because she entered the game pregnant and even faced several characters after giving birth. As a result, viewers' opinions about what would have been like if another actor had acted were continued, regret grew over Cho Yu-ri's acting skills. In response, Jo Yu-ri saw all the reactions. I'm grateful. I was grateful that you seemed to have affection for me. I want to show you how I grow by using that as a nutrient. What I felt while acting was that I thought Jun-hee would have limited emotions in it. I acted because I thought it was difficult to feel joy or various emotions, but there were various stories about that part, so I thought 'It could be seen like that'. The next time I acted, I thought I should accept more feedback and do it. I didn't feel wronged or upset."
There was also a story about 'Calbirth' that was done in five minutes. In reality, there was criticism that the scene of a pregnant woman giving birth to a child at a young first birth was dry. In response, Jo Yu-ri said, "(The role of a pregnant woman) was burdensome, but she was also afraid that she would not do well. I was worried that it would look clumsy because it was something I had never experienced. (Birth) is an important scene, but I think he thought it was not something that would be reflected in such detail in it. I don't think it's a scene to show for a long time, so I think the game is the main focus, so I think it came out to this extent."
Apart from acting with a single expression, there were various emotions toward Myung-ki (Temporary Wan) inside Cho Yu-ri. However, all of these emotions were not revealed by acting and facial expressions. Jo Yu-ri "I think I acted with affection at first. What I felt while acting was that I didn't like it because Myeonggi dived without completely losing my affection, but I think I had a little lingering in my heart. After starting like that, I was opened to see Myung-ki taking good care of Jun-hee, so I thought 'Should I believe', but all that trust was broken in tag, and I wonder if he made such a choice after that. " (A man like Myung-ki) is the worst. Being submerged like that and the setting itself in the first place is the worst. The reason I was able to rekindle my affection was because I thought Myung-ki was in a position to be chased by a debtor. I've never met such a bad man, but I don't want to meet him until I die."
Regarding the criticism that Jun-hee was a nuisance character, Cho Yu-ri said, `I think I'll have to get pregnant before I know, but I don't know if Jun-hee is irresponsible (I don't know). I think Jun-hee would never have participated in this game if he had come into this game to take care of the child until the end and knew what kind of place it was. I have never thought about being irresponsible. As a woman, I felt heartbroken and cornered. I think I thought a lot about it while acting. It's true that Jun-hee gets help from a lot of people. I tried to appreciate the other characters. For viewers who would have wished for another character to survive, it seems that Jun-hee could have been seen as such (like nuisance). From the standpoint of playing the character Jun-hee, I think it was inevitable rather than acting like a nuisance."
Although some pointed out the lack of acting ability, he is satisfied with his current acting rather than efforts to increase his acting ability. Cho Yu-ri said, `I feel like I have to work hard on the next film that will be given in the future. There was also an interest in theater. I was attracted to it. If I have a chance later, I want to try a play. They don't take acting classes these days. When I auditioned, I took lessons and took acting classes while filming. But now, I don't think I need to take more acting classes, but I thought I could just do what I was doing"He expressed confidence in his performance.
At the same time, IZ*ONE's reunion seems to be far away. Already, IZ*ONE's group chat room is Cho Yu-ri who says "It became a birthday alarm room". He "There's no talk about the recombination. However, if I do it someday, I intend to participate unconditionally. I talk to the members a lot, but I don't talk about the reunion, but when 'Squid Game' comes out, they say they watched it well, and when someone's song comes out, it came out well. I have a group chat room, but I get more personal messages. In the group chat room, I only do birthday alarms," he said, confirming the distant present of IZ*ONE.
Jo Yu-ri is trying to enjoy a special experience by releasing a new album in time for the release of 「Squid Game 3」. He said"The album preparation has been slow and the release time has come to this, and I'm trying to think of it as 'LuckyVicky' because it's the timing of the attention."
