Actor Joo Hyun-young expressed her gratitude for receiving great love for 'SNL Korea'.

Joo Hyun-young met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 27th and said, `Nothing has been affected by parody of famous politicians.'

Joo Hyun-young will make her screen debut in the movie `Stranger Train' (director Tak Se-woong). Joo Hyun-young, who made her name and face widely known as the main character of 'SNL Korea', has been gaining experience in acting through recent dramas such as 'Weird Lawyer Woo Young-woo', 'Surviving as a Celebrity Manager', and 'Yeolnyeo Park's Contract Marriage'.




This time, he has become a leading actor in the movie through horror 'Stranger Train', raising expectations. In particular, as it received great love for its pleasant image through 'SNL Korea', it seems that it was also burdensome to act as a horror movie. Joo Hyun-young said "The first concern was whether a bright and entertainment image would interfere with immersion, and it was a long-lasting concern. But that worry won't help me. Even if it takes time, I thought I should show you what kind of character I am," he confessed honestly.

At the same time, "But the public is looking forward to it, and it doesn't seem like they're trying to rule it out too much and not show it. Of course, it's a horror movie, but I think I wanted to show you the comic part light and fun. I think it was possible, not too heavy a movie."

The difference between acting in "'SNL Korea' and acting in a positive electrode is that only the genre was different within 'SNL Korea', but I think I acted a lot. However, it was a shame that it was short. The actor also needed the aspect of dragging for a long time in one work, so I thought I wanted to learn a lot. I felt it was not enough when I combined the drama with 'SNL Korea'. So I think I need to learn, I think I need time, so I think I'm still learning."




When it comes to being considered a member of Coupang Play's founding contribution through the reboot of 'SNL Korea" even if I don't want to think that much, Coupang Play CEO said that a lot. I heard it in figures and thought 'Oh, I see' I think I wanted to be thankful and enjoy it," he said with a smile.

There is also an expectation that he will be able to appear on 'SNL Korea' as a host in the future. Joo Hyun-young "I have such a feeling. That's the dream. But actually, rather than focusing on wanting to host, I wanted to do the 'SNL Korea' crew since high school. Looking at the crew with director Jang Jin at the time, I thought I wanted to be in between."

Kim Ah-young, who formed a relationship with SNL Korea, is also drawing attention as she recently challenged acting in a positive drama. Joo Hyun-young "I talked a lot about acting with A-young. I asked my sister a lot when I had concerns here and there at other sites. We exchanged ideas with each other. In addition to talking about acting, we also talk about a lot of concerns that our peers can have."




Recently, Kim Won-hoon was selected as the most prominent actor in 'SNL Korea'. Joo Hyun-young said, `I think Won-hoon stands out the most in recent 'SNL Korea'. He's a person who takes great care of people, and he knows his birthday a week ago, and he buys a gift and gives it to him himself. You do that to everyone. Thank you so much for monitoring me when I went out and promoted. He was really nervous in 'SNL Korea' too, but I'm enjoying it because he seems to be flying around"I cheered for Kim Won-hoon.

At the time of his appearance in 'SNL Korea', he was popular with various characters as well as the main character. In particular, a parody of famous politicians has been a hot topic until recently. Several rumors were also derived related to it, causing some to worry.

Joo Hyun-young said "But in fact, the government changed, but nothing was affected before the change. In fact, my goal was really just one. 'You have to copy a character, you have to look at it as contenthad a purpose of '," he replied cautiously.

Then "It's a lie to say you're not scared, but to be honest, it's not the room or environment to think about that in there. Even when 'SNL Korea', you didn't give me a task in advance, so it was an environment that had to be presented almost the next day. I didn't have time to think about it. There were many cases where I had to do it urgently, as well as other seniors. I was busy doing it quickly," he said, looking back at the time.

There was also a question about Joo Hyun-young, who makes the public laugh, and Joo Hyun-young, who scares the public. Joo Hyun-young said "I've liked to make my friends laugh since I was young. I wanted to be a mood maker wherever I went. Honestly, thankfully, I got that opportunity to do it. But making someone scary has to go deeper, so I think it's a little harder."

'Stranger Train' is a mystery horror film in which Da-kyung (Joo Hyun-young), a thirsty horror YouTuber, encounters a terrible incident while digging into the secrets of Gwanglim Station, where mysterious disappearances occur one after another. It will be released on July 9 (Wednesday).
