Everyone in the same outfits!
Heaps of people
It felt like a concert
The role I played was
Lee Na-Yeon
She’s really…
mean
Hello everyone
I’m Lee Yoo-mi, a Korean actress
Today, we will be spending time to know about me through
Stay tuned
It says my name is Lee Yoo-mi
Born in 1994
July 18th, 27 years old
I’m so happy already
There’s also my body measurments
It’s not important or anything
Yes, my blood type is O
On the academic record
It says after I graduated Seoho middle, took GED
And went to Chungwoon University
This is incorrect
I graduated from Daejin University
That caught me off-guard
My agency is VARO Entertainment
I love it here
very very much
It says I made debut in a commercial in 2009
It’s correct
Wow, how long has it been?
And this is so fascinating
Korean actress. In 2021,
her profile skyrocketed as she was casted as ‘Ji-Young’
in the Netflix Original drama
Very true
I have nothing but to thank for this show
wow look! this is amazing!
Instagram followers before
40,000
After as of December 25th 2021
Reached followers of 7 million
My goodness
This is out of this world
I have never imagined of having this kind of number
on my Instagram, ever
Made debut as a child actor at young age
Started off as small roles and steadily rose to main roles
unlike the other children actors
Because I got here steadily
I can only steadily climb up from now on, right?
It says I’m cute and lovely
How should I react to this?
Does that look cute… and lovely?
Oh my
This is all new to me
My hobby is
scuba diving, t’ai chi
writing, and crafting
I have NEVER been on scuba diving
Not even once performed T’ai chi
I think I’ve only seen T’ai chi
on the TV before
Regardless of the box office or reviews of the work
her acting is evaluated as outstanding
who wrote this?
I love this person
I’m extremely flattered
Oh wow
Yes, I did appear on
I bet you didn’t know
I was still a minor when we were shooting
So, I couldn’t watch it when it premiered on theater
I could only watch the parts I acted
After I came of age
What kind of acting did you perform at the audition?
I believe I did an improve of a crying scene
I remember wiping tears off
my face with tissues, then
In the beginning, I said “shoot, my bang looks awful’
I said this line as I was looking at the mirror
And my bang really did look awful
It literally popped off my forehead like this
But the director really
Liked this scene
and ended up getting on the commercial
Is there a story behind the casting?
The director told me once
He was concerned about who should
Be playing as ‘Se Jin’ during the audition
Then he saw someone dancing and singing
as she entered the room
And that was me
At the audition I performed lots of swearing scenes
The director thought all of this was fitting
for Se Jin and decided to cast me
Did you have to practice a lot for the swearing scenes?
The lines were all there on the script
It’s written very specifically
And in great detail
Like you don’t even need to practice it
It was like the swearing101 course
I remember putting in my utmost energy into the scene
“Skidaddle on me?”
Do you know what it means?
I asked the director about it
What does “Skidaddle” mean?
He said “Running away
It doesn’t have a specific meaning
And origin
But it’s used in situations like this
“That’s what I meant to by it” he said
This was when the weather
Was starting get colder
Hwang Jung-min wanted people to feel the heat
When they watch this movie
He wanted the movie to give some kind of like
Blazing or flaring feelings
to the viewers
He’d constantly
Spray water on himself as if he was sweating
So, always before going in the scene
We’d spray ‘sweat’ each time on our faces
We all had our own personal sweat sprays
It was quite portable, fits right into our pockets
Including , how many times did you audition?
I can’t even begin to start counting
How many times I’ve auditioned. It was way too many
I worked my butt off
Auditioned so many times
Roughly counting
More than a hundred without a doubt
3-400 400-500 times?
A lot, really
Finally, the
I was so excited when the preview for came out
“I’m so psyched”
“I can’t wait!”
I spent so much time sleeping here
You know the beds in the show
Believe it or not, the cushions were so comfortable
It’s so fluffy
I just kept on sleeping on it
What was the most memorable thing when shooting the ?
The same outfits!
I have bad eyesight
And everyone looked the same with the same outfits
I couldn’t tell who was who
So, I’d always be squinting
And running around checking
Each faces
And there were so many people
How should I put it?
It felt like I was at a concert
Everyone is wearing the same outfit
We were like on the same team and everything
Even the make-up was done in the second I sat on the chair
I’d be like “Hello”
She’d say “Hello” back and I sit
After a brief moment
I’d say “Thank you”
I heard you became best friends with Hoyeon
Even from the first reading, I did I with Sae-byeok (played by Hoyeon) just the two of us
It’s still a surprise how
We met for the first time
We are of the same age
And we had a lot in common
Something sparked with ever her since I met her
We became close friends on the first day
We’d discuss about acting a lot
Meet at the café and had Tteokbokki together
In a way, I was able to
Make a great friend through the series
The behind the scenes of marbles became an issue!
I didn’t know that they’d release the behind the scene videos like that
I didn’t know that they’d show the whole thing
And there’s a lot of people
who liked it
Clearly
it wasn’t an okay cut but
I don’t think he made us re-take the scene
Because of my acting
It wasn’t that type of “let’s re-take!”
I think it was because I couldn’t hold it in
If it was ‘No Good’ because of my acting
And was revealed like this, entirely
I’d want to cry
Ooh the shivers!
What’s wrong with her!
This was like the first time
I was in almost every scene
Throughout the whole drama
This was when I learned everything
About how a drama is made
Was it a character that most like yourself?
Is it?
I think I’m tougher than I was in the drama
I kinds look cute here
But in reality
There’s a manly side to me
If makes a hit, are you going to be the daughter of Netflix?
I should, right?
Tell us a little about the drama
is a webtoon-based drama
There are zombies!
There are student zombies and various zombies
It’s about school and zombies
fighting the zombies
either to win or lose
or get bitten and stuff like that
It’s a story about zombies at school
and the role I play on this drama is
‘Na Yeon Lee’
She’s very mean
Did you film at a set?
Basically
There’s a whole school in the set
It’s not tall or anything like that
but it has everything it needs
The first and second floor
there are classrooms
For the classroom scenes, we had to film it in Icheon
The entire scene was filmed at
Ulsan? I believe (Netflix confirmed that the scene was taken in Andong)
I heard it was filmed
at a real school
I wasn’t there when they were shooting
Find out why by watchig !
Did you anticipate dramas will be writte n based on the webtoon?
I personally read this webtoon before
Near the end of shooting
I thought to myself, did I read the webtoon from the beginning?
It was a personal favorite webtoon
But then I ended up playing the character I hated
The Na-Youn I acted is someone
Who just wanted to be loved
Wanted to mend her heart
Everyone can relate to this in someway
She’s like a child who is attached by those feelings
I’m frankly afraid how much people
Will hate me after watching it
Anyways, please don’t hate Na-Youn, too much
Even if people do hate Na-Youn, I’ll think of it as
‘I digested the role of Na-Youn very well’
I’ll be expecting lots of hate and love
I’ll embrace all
It will be released on January 28th in Netflix
Don’t miss it
I beg you
