Sports Chosun met Joo Hyun-young, who challenged the screen with the title of a full-fledged 'horror queen' at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 27th. After gaining popularity as the main character of 'SNL Korea', Joo Hyun-young, who has recently expanded her acting range through dramas such as 'Weird Lawyer Woo Young-woo', 'Surviving as a Celebrity Manager', and 'Yeolnyeo Park's Contract Marriage', will debut in a major movie this time in the horror genre. 'Stranger Train' is a mystery horror story about the horror that occurs when YouTuber Da-kyung (Joo Hyun-young) tracks the secrets of Gwanglim Station, where mysterious disappearances occur one after another.

As for the reason why I chose horror movies "I've loved horror movies since I was a child. It was the beginning of the old horror movies that came to like movies. If I were to become an actor, I wanted to film a horror movie someday, but the opportunity came quickly and I wanted to catch it quickly."
Of course, the first attempt at acting in fear was not easy. Joo Hyun-young said "I've just started and it's my first time watching a horror movie, so of course I thought it would not be enough. I kept thinking about what I lacked in the thought of being the main character. It seemed to be conscious of whether he was trying to imitate the existing horror actors. But you helped me a lot, so naturally, those worries and worries disappeared"He confessed.

As for the love line with Choi Bomin in the play "Bomin is too handsome, but she is too gentle." I didn't feel that it was Bo Min's first movie. He's younger than me, but he's mature. He showed great concentration in the field. He constantly talked to the director. If there was anything I didn't understand, I kept asking the director and he was passionate. At the same time, I came to work hard with passion,' he said, praising Choi Bomin.
In line with the title 'Stranger Train', Joo Hyun-young's real-life experience is also interesting. He "When I was young, someone gave me a talisman, and I thought it was a favor and received it, but it was strange. I had nightmares every day for a week after receiving it. At that time, I had the same dream four times, and I burned the talisman right away. The person who gave me the talisman is an acquaintance of my acquaintance. I hope it goes wellThey gave it to me saying ' But when I burned the talisman, I got better right away. He told me about his creepy experience.
He also added a behind-the-scenes look at the fun shoot. "I prepared red beans and salt when filming (laughs). And my mom said she was going to do a group tour with her church acquaintances. But it was strange because they were church members. But I wanted to cheer for you, so I heard you made a lot of reservations. So I said thank you."

The difference between acting in 'SNL Korea' and acting in a positive electrode is that "I think I acted a lot, only with different genres within it." However, it was a shame that it was short. The actor felt that he needed a long drag in one work, so he thought he needed time. I'm still learning."
When asked what was difficult between 'funny Joo Hyun-young' and 'frightening Joo Hyun-young', he liked to make his friends laugh since he was young. But it's a little harder to make someone scary because they have to go deeper."

Parodies of famous politicians were also a hot topic during the era of 'SNL'. Joo Hyun-young said "The government has changed, but nothing has been affected by the postponement. There was just a purpose to copy the character. In fact, it's a lie to say you're not scared, but I didn't have time to think about it. It was an environment that had to be shown the next day. I was busy doing it quickly," he recalled.

On the other hand, recently, a car accident caused fans to worry. Joo Hyun-young said "I'm really embarrassed. I was able to block everything and focus on recovery. Ayoung came out as a special DJ, so I was able to rest well. I thought I took a break after 'SNL Korea', but this was the first time I took a break doing nothing.
Finally, he said, `I want to be a horror queen one day. I'm still not good enough for now, but I'm a sprout YouTuber who wants to be a horror queen in the play. I hope that someday the name "horror queen" will be a good actor. "Summer vacation is definitely a horror movie. I hope the audience will enjoy it a lot."
