I wanna shave off.
It’s somewhat awkward to read out loud… You did?
Hey guys, it’s Lee Jooyoung. I think it’s been a while.
Jooyoung’s , let’s go.
It says I was born on February 14th, 1992. 30 years old.
It needs some correction on my height.
I’m 163.3cm tall. I got taller since I started pilates.
Yes, my blood type is an A.
Why does my profile always say I made a debut with the movie in 2012?
It makes me a 10year experienced actress.
Okay then.
The reason why she became an actress is quite unique.
She started her major in physical education. One day, she went to see a play. After that, she changed her major to acting.
Q. Did you go to plays a lot?
Yes yes. It was for an assignment rather than my own will.
I started going to plays for the assignment, then plays drew my interest.
I was so into it. That was the beginning.
the opening film at 21st BIFF.
That was my first red carpet.
I remember I was very nervous at that time.
Q. We heard that you are attending the Cannes Film Festival with a movie .
That is correct. It hasn’t hit me yet though. It’s not even 2weeks away.
I’m saying to myself “Let’s see’em all.”.
As I said, hasn’t hit me yet. I think it’s gonna hit me when I pack my stuff.
On here, it says “The moment of adrenaline.”.
Q. Do you like futsal?
There are teams with people from the film industry, and with my friends.
I play futsal, and soccer when I have time.
I like these because when I’m playing, I can focus on only one thing. To make a score.
I usually watch soccer clips.
Q. Why did you name your dog, Tig?
There are people asking me why.
Just because I like the character Tigress from the movie .
I named him after the character.
TIG. shush.
Q. How did you feel when you were cast by director Yi Okseop?
First of all, I didn’t see what was coming when I met Yi Okseop director, and Koo Kyohwan at brunch place.
They hand me the script and said they want me to join the movie. I took that chance right away.
It was something special. There was Moon Sori the actress. She was one of many reasons.
Q. Any recommendations on Indie films?
I like Jeon Gowoon’s , and Gooc Jinahn’s .
There are countless good movies.
People are searching for Koo Kyohwan’s films recently. Those are very creative.
Yeah, I’ve seen all of them.
The actors playing Ma Hyeonyi and Choi Seunggwon are great actors! You guys rock!
Thank you.
It’s awkward to read out loud my own compliment.
Lee Jooyoung is a good actress. Whenever she’s on the screen, she makes an impact. If she keeps up, she will make it to the top.
Thank you.
I don’t usually read comments on YouTube. It makes me nervous.
This was the best scene. I got chills. Love you Jooyoung!
I do love you too.
This was the best episode. I even got chills.
Was it?
The best drama of my life.
I’ve only seen this episode once. It’s awkward to see it again.
My friends sing the ost to make fun of me. Maybe they are not used to my acting.
Q. What is to you?
A buffet?
It has all the different characters in it. And they have their own stories with them. That made people see themselves through the characters.
Frankly, I didn’t expect this much success. I appreciate the fans around the world for loving it so much.
Q. You said the scene you pitching by yourself is the best scene?
In this movie, you can see Sooin’s emotions are being piled up.
Pitching alone is when she relives the feelings she got from other people.
Because of this reason, it was very memorable to me.
Q. How was ?
As you can see in this making film, it was very good.
During the shooting , I was just ‘Kong Seulgi’ herself. I really enjoyed this.
Q. What is your MBTI type?
It’s ISTP.
You didn’t expect this. You did?
I don’t make any plans. I’m closer to an introvert.
I don’t really ponder upon something.
I’m pretty sure I’m the T of Ts. Friends say they get disappointed because I don’t agree with them.
Q. What’s different acting in a music video?
Since the music video is about certain music,
I keep thinking about the mood and tone of it throughout the shooting.
They keep playing the music over and over.
The actor Lee Jehoon led the shooting so well. It was fun too.
Q. What is your favorite music?
There is in the album.
I remember saying ‘This music is really good.’ to Ahn Hyoseop.
I do listen to and too.
but recently.
Q. Is there any hairstyle you want to try?
I say I wanna try to shave off half in jest.
Seriously I have a lot of hair.
Hair staff sometimes have a hard time.
And I’m curious about my head shape without any hair on it.
It's .
Q. How was it feel when you were cast for ?
It took a while to get a script from the director Hirokazu Koreeda.
When I got it in my hand, I couldn’t just open it.
I was just staring at it then took a shower and cleaned the house to make it reverently.
I remember opening that.
He has a lot of needs on the reality.
To introduce briefly,
it starts with a baby in the baby box Soyoung left.
This makes us think about good and bad behavior in the society we are living in.
Detector Lee, which role I played,
is not just chasing the criminal but keeps asking about why they had to do such a thing.
She wants to understand them and see their lives.
Q. What do you expect from yourself as an actress?
As the movies like , , and are getting to the Cannes Film Festival,
Korean movies are drawing global attention.
I want people to think ‘Going to the theater is good.’ again.
Because of this reason, I want more attention to the Korean film industry. And I look forward to it.
Okay, it was my . It was good to look back at the traces I left.
I even took a photo for this June issue of the Esquire.
