Actress Kwon Yu-ri expressed her feelings about trying her first smoking acting through the movie 「Invasion」.

Kwon Yu-ri met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 10th and said, `I thought it was necessary to smoke because of the character setting, and it was fun while acting.'

Released on the 12th, Invasion is a psychological-destroying thriller about Young-eun (Kwak Sun-young), whose daily life is collapsing due to her daughter So-hyun acting strangely, and Min (Kwon Yu-ri), who lost her memory of the past 20 years later, facing Hae-young (Lee Seol), and director Kim Yeo-jeong and director Lee Jung-chan took the megaphone. Kwon Yu-ri played Min, an employee of a special cleaning company who lost his childhood memory.




Kwon Yu-ri caught the eye by showing her smoking performance from her first appearance while appearing as a pregnant woman character in Invasion. He "There was no burden of smoking smoke, but rather I thought it was an opportunity to act more freely. Starting with the director, the manager, and even the younger brother gave a lot of advice on the smoking scene. I'm a non-smoker at all, so I started acting as a smoke-free second. In addition, Kim Min has lived a rough and unruly life in the play, so I thought I needed a smoking scene and it was fun while acting. Maybe that's why I didn't think my acting was very unconventional, and I was ready to be used for a more unconventional role"I was confident.

Kwon Yu-ri, who has already been an actor for more than 10 years, said "Time seems to have given me a positive boost." Then "As the years passed, it seemed that the time had come to take advantage of the image or recognition accumulated by Girls' Generation as an opportunity. It was also pleasant and glad to see the work become an `invasion.' I'm so grateful to the director as well. I said, 'I've been waiting for this kind of work, and he said, 'Yuri beat on the door first.' I forgot for a moment, but at the first meeting with the director at the time, I told him that I wanted to be used for any role. There are not many characters in the work, but female characters lead the play and two female and male directors direct, so it came to be fresher," he said.
