(NETFLIX)
(PDC at the 'THE 8 SHOW' GV event) (???) (Today's main guest)
(Actress Chun Woo-hee) (PDC) If I place it like this,
(we can't see Chun Woo-hee coming in) Radiant Chun Woo-hee (Have you come from the past...?) (???) (!!!!!) (Flustered)
Oh my, hello Oh!
Oh my, oh my Hello (Flustered but pretending not to be) (Chun Woo-hee)
PDC, are you filming from here? I was waiting. (Didn't expect to meet PDC like this)
I heard we were filming something
so I was wondering what Netflix was filming... I was practicing earlier Radiant Chun Woo-hee
But suddenly they weren't coming in (Feeling guilty even though I did nothing wrong) Ah, I'm so shy. (Whatever role she takes on)
(Chun Woo-hee makes it her own) (With her overwhelming gaze)
(and sincere acting) (Acting genius actress Chun Woo-hee) Hello
(by)PDC subscribers I'm actress Chun Woo-hee. (Chun Woo-hee)
Always, PDC... (Immediately apologetic mode)
(To countless love calls from PDC...)
You've asked me many times, but I... (Chun Woo-hee)
Due to my circumstances, I had to decline, but I am very thankful for this opportunity. I'm really glad I can share my story now. Please enjoy watching. (hahahaha)
(Laughing out of guilt hahaha) (I wanted to meet with PDC but)
I've always wanted to talk with you, (Chun Woo-hee who couldn't due to circumstances)
but at that time, the timing just wasn't right... (Chun Woo-hee)
I couldn't get any rest You know how sometimes you just don't feel like saying anything at all (In a state of having a lot to say but not wanting to say anything)
Even though you have so much to say,
there are times when you don't want to say anything (I had to politely decline)
I kept saying it might be better to wait a bit (Chun Woo-hee) But I couldn't go into detail there were times like that. (What happened to Woo-hee?)
(Find out her untold story in part 2)
But we finally get to meet like this (PDC)
Let's have a great time today Looking forward to it (The Atypical Family)
I'm really enjoying watching it (Embarrassed) (Embarrassed) But... The feedback isn't bad... (Gaining popularity as a drama)
Since people like it,
the ratings started going up from episode 4 (PDC)
It seems like a lot of people are watching (Sigh of relief)
Thank goodness (Secretly a master of romance Chun Woo-hee)
Woo-hee, you do romance so well... I'm confident in doing romance,
but they didn't give me those roles (Be Melodramatic)
-It's Be Melodramatic!
-Exactly! (Maximum charm overload) (Reality is just like a romantic comedy) (PDC)
It's been such a long time since we last met, right? (It really has)
Yes, it really has been a long time (PDC)
You look younger and younger, Woo-hee (Oh no…)
Oh no, that's not true (Suddenly PDC starts venting…)
I'm becoming more and more like an old lady... No, you look the same (Really the same…)
You really look the same (PDC, the master of push and pull) (Oh no…) (Edit)
Again (TAKE #2)
(Why waste talent on this...) You really look the same though. (At the age of being very interested in looks)
Oh really? (PDC)
Your face looks smaller
and your body looks smaller too That's not true (×2) (Chun Woo-hee) If you don't see someone often,
you tend to think that way (PDC)
But you were always small, right? (Always small, past and present)
You were always the same size (Petite, petite) (Even after a long time,
still talking about how pretty she is)
My weight doesn't fluctuate much (Deeply remembered by PDC)
I remember you, Woo-hee (With a face the size of half a hand)
Your face is half the size of a hand (Admitting her small face) (Getting ready for the GV event)
Have you eaten? (Two planning to eat together after the event)
I'm planning to eat a lot later. (The real end of the day is)
(At Woo-hee's brother's restaurant~) (Chun Woo-hee)
I've had brunch and I'm waiting. I love my brother's restaurant So sometimes… When I have a schedule,
I try not to go to my brother's restaurant. (Every time I go there)
(I can't control my appetite)
I eat too much (My brother is the enemy of my diet)
That's right. I eat too much. (Salivating just thinking about it)
Because it's so delicious. (PDC)
The food is really good. (Chun Woo-hee)
The food is so good. I love the vegetables and stuff... (Need to restrain myself, haha)
I need to restrain myself A little bit... (This is the first time showing the setup)
Showing this setup is (Slightly awkward)
a first for me (Chun Woo-hee)
My appearance is so... revealed (Suddenly feeling self-conscious)
Even my forehead is exposed (Chun Woo-hee)
But it can't be helped (Asking for permission late)
Is it okay to film now? Is it okay? Staff, is it okay? (Suddenly wondering why...)
Oh, yes. (Joking around is fun) (The Atypical Family)
(Staff who were with us during filming)
These are the friends I worked with on the drama. (The set itself was fun, but...)
Honestly, the set was fun, but it was even more fun because of these friends! (Surprised) (Because of us...?!) It was so fun They were very warm and friendly (Not to mention they're good at their jobs)
They are good at their jobs (Chun Woo-hee)
Work is work, but in the end, people are the most important (PDC)
(Drama) You're still filming, right? It's all done! All done? (The Atypical Family)
(Finished filming last March)
We finished filming in March, so the director is currently
working on post-production I'm curious! (Requesting spoilers!)
I'm curious about the upcoming content (Quickly blocking)
Please keep watching (Not falling for it~) (Next target)
Is "THE 8 SHOW" fun? (Chun Woo-hee)
From the original <The 8 Show> work, I found it very fun (Based on webtoons <Money Game>, <Pie Game>)
(THE 8 SHOW) (I expect it to have mixed reviews)
I think it will have mixed reviews, (Chun Woo-hee)
But I actually think that works with mixed reviews are better. (PDC) Why? (Chun Woo-hee) Because,
whether it's a situation or art, even if we see the same thing, the responses don't always follow the same pattern (The more varied the stories,
the more interpretations)
The more varied the stories are, the more they can be interpreted (Chun Woo-hee) I think that's better. (Thinking for herself)
Those kinds of works... (Tends to work on projects with mixed reviews)
I think I've done a lot of them (PDC)
Yes, Woo-hee, you've tried many different things (Chun Woo-hee) <The Atypical Family> isn't
a typical feeling either (Be Melodramatic also)
(It's a bit different from typical romance comedy)
Be Melodramatic isn't a typical romance comedy either... (Drama or film)
(It seems like something might happen...)
It feels like something will happen (When Woo-hee is in it)
Because it's Woo-hee, (It feels like there's something hidden)
It feels like something more will happen (Directors' pick: Woo-hee's unique aura)
Maybe that's why the director cast me? (PDC)
It's the power that actors have... Even here, something continues... It seems like something will keep happening (Chun Woo-hee) Having a unique aura
is actually a big compliment, I think so, Do I look too mysterious? (A talent very necessary for an actor)
I take it as a very good compliment (PDC) (Promoting two dramas)
Unexpectedly, promotions overlapped (Woo-hee’s jinx...)
But I have a jinx (Works that took several years)
1, 2 years or even up to 3 years to complete, they always (get released or aired at the same time)
get released at the same time (Chun Woo-hee) So,
if you look at my filmography, I’ve always done one project per year (With two projects overlapping) (Released within a month)
But two projects always overlap
and get released within a month It happened last time too (In April 2023, Delightfully Deceitful)
(In February 2023, Unlocked)
It happened with Unlocked (In April 2016, Love, Lies)
(In May 2016, The Wailing)
It happened with The Wailing too and before that, (Two projects released in the same month repeatedly)
Continuously two projects get released in a month, So now,
I just think, (Oh dear) Is this my fate? (Hahaha) (It feels a bit regrettable)
It can feel a bit regrettable (Chun Woo-hee) Because
things you’ve worked on for years all come out at once… (It can seem like there's a long break)
It can seem like there’s a long break On the other hand,
if you think about it differently, (Showing completely different characters)
Showing completely different projects and sides (At once)
Showing both projects at once, (Might be an advantage for an actor?)
Might actually be an advantage for an actor I’m trying to think positively Of course... It’s better to release them one by one (But you know...) (Is today's curl a bit much?)
It seems like my hair is getting curlier (When does it end?)
(Staff) It feels like it keeps going on
and on… It’s falling flat… (Oh dear) That’s strange... (Do you have an interest in the camera?)
Are you interested in the camera? (My friends also appear in <The Atypical Family>!)
My friends also appear in the drama. (spoiler?) (PDC)
It will be fun to watch (There was a shortage of extras during filming)
At that time, there was a shortage of extras You know how it is during filming,
so (In a rush)
(The day when staff had to fill in as extras)
we asked the staff for help I suggested, "Let’s help out too" (They acted shy at first)
They were like, "What should we do?" (But ended up actively participating)
They were really shy but had a lot of fun (Discovering their acting potential)
They were so shy but then they were like, (Almost became an acting coach, haha)
"How should I act?" It was their debut (Hahahaha) They worked really hard
and enjoyed it a lot! (Almost changed their career)
I’m grateful because
if they were uncomfortable, I would be too (It must not have been easy)
It was sudden, but they enjoyed it (I’m thankful for the staff’s adaptability)
So I’m grateful (PDC) I think you look very pretty
in <The Atypical Family>. (Chun Woo-hee)
My parents love it because of that (Specialized in strong characters)
They usually see me in tough roles,
shaving my eyebrows or wearing the same clothes all the time (I didn’t have many roles showing my beauty)
or appearing in only one outfit (My character Do Da-hae looks beautiful in every episode)
But I look so pretty in this one,
so my parents love it My dad especially loves it! (Woo-hee's father's
feelings are just like PD's feelings)
My daughter is so pretty, (the directors)
the directors (messed up!)
messed up with my daughter!
That my beautiful daughter! (Parents only see Woo-hee)
Parents always think their kids are the prettiest "Our Woo-hee looks so pretty like this," "But the camera can’t capture it,"
they used to say. (This time, they loved <The Atypical Family>)
This time, they really loved it. Are you satisfied? Here, it’s styled to look layered with C curls,
and the top is made to look a bit lifted (Laughs out loud) (Just like usual) Please stop (Clearly, someone has a keen interest in the camera~) (Snickering)
I'm so embarrassed I usually do this You usually do this? (Doing it as usual)
(Today, it’s more intense)
It seems like you put a lot more effort in today (Big C curls in place)
Today more than usual (The time to shine for
the particularly meticulous hair and makeup)
It’s the time to shine (A reliable lineup of skilled actors in 'THE 8 SHOW') (Playing the role of the 3rd floor in 'THE 8 SHOW')
Hello, I’m playing the role of the 3rd floor (Ryu Jun-yeol)
participant in the show, Ryu Jun-yeol. I’m Moon Jung-hee,
playing the role of the 5th floor. (Chun Woo-hee) Hello, I’m Chun Woo-hee,
playing the role of the 8th floor in <THE 8 SHOW>. (The most anticipated drama
of the first half of the year, THE 8 SHOW) (Chun Woo-hee)
I’ve taken on quite challenging and new roles in the past, but the role of the 8th floor was another huge mission for me. It felt like something new. Welcome to 'The 8 Show'. ('The 8 Show' is a story of 8 people
trapped in a mysterious place divided into 8 floors,
where 'time earns you money' – sweet but dangerous.) No special skills or
knowledge are required for this show. -Let's go!
-Ready (Based on a webtoon with 300 million global views) (Chun Woo-hee)
It seems like a very free and colorful character, but on the other hand,
the characters we show, I think this is a microcosm of a society,
the world we live in now. The images we show must be clear and distinct. (Chun Woo-hee's powerful performance as
the character of the 8th floor in The 8 Show)
This is really fun, honestly. (A character who feels pleasure and joy through the show)
The 8th floor character might seem
like someone you wouldn’t encounter, but in fact, (Expecting a dazzling and intense portrayal)
while it seems like there is no one like that around you, realistically, such a person definitely exists somewhere. To appear somewhat friendly and charming, I thought I shouldn't have
any intentions and filmed it. (After the GV event, finally!) (Off work) (WayBackHome,
people are curious about those appearing)
Many people ask, "Who are you filming this time?" So, this time when
I said I'm meeting Chun Woo-hee, What was the most common reaction? Ah!
She's a good actress... (A pause) (Feeling the pressure)
She's a good actress. Thank you. I'm grateful for the compliments. (Always wanted to hear 'you're a good actor')
And it's something I've always wanted to hear. (Chun Woo-hee, who quickly rose to fame
with "Sunny" and "Han Gong-ju")
That story I heard in the beginning, I think there were also things I didn't want to miss. (Having the intention to become a fitting actor for
the phrase 'you're a good actor')
With the mindset of becoming a fitting actor for that phrase, (Always focusing on work)
Whenever I take on a project,
I'm always just focused on that. (When taking on a project)
(Only thinking about that)
I'm always just walking around, thinking about the script, (Walking and connecting
everyday life and work in her thoughts) whatever comes to mind,
connecting everything to acting... (Chun Woo-hee) Of course,
I did it because it was fun But sometimes, I think
there are moments when people get immersed in it. So you couldn't even date? (But I do date, though..)
I do it in my own way. To some extent... Like this. (There are times when I do well too~)
There are times when I do well too. (It feels like something hit home, right?) No, it's not that, but relationships... (Relationships and acting are separate)
-Relationships and acting seem separate to me.
-Oh, really? (The job is important, but...)
(Actresses date too)
Of course, work is very important, (Because there's hardly any scandal...)
There hasn't been much scandal, Ah... So... (Acting is all she knows, a heavenly acting fool)
You've just been thinking about acting so much, Relationships Relationships...
I'm good at them... (PDC)
You're going to talk about
relationships today too, right? (Relationships)
Relationships are important. (Sudden outburst)
(Isn't the most important thing in life relationships?!")
Isn't the most important thing in life relationships? (Chun Woo-hee)
There's been a slight change... In the past, relationships seemed
kind of trivial to me. (Relationships were trivial?) Relationships? Love? (Even when in a relationship)
Or even when dating, To the extent that I thought they were trivial. (When choosing projects too)
So even in projects, (Not interested in love or romance)
I wasn't interested in things like love or romance. (Chun Woo-hee)
These are things that
anyone can do in real life anyway. a bit more… It's like...
why would you need to scrutinize them so closely... (Familiar emotions)
(Feelings she wanted to exclude from acting)
Isn't this something everyone experiences? I thought (When she had a strong desire for new things)
I want to try new things. (Upon reflection)
It seems like I had a very wrong idea... -Because...
-(PDC) Because you're getting older? Yes! (Chun Woo-hee) Senior Han Suk-kyu
told me 'As you get older,
talking about love becomes' 'More precious!' So you too 'Should try acting love scenes
that suit your age.' (A big realization from Han Suk-kyu's words)
Huh? Why didn't I think of that? (Chun Woo-hee) After that, I sort of Expanded my range of choices a bit more. (Then fatefully came Be Melodramatic)
That was probably Be Melodramatic. (Arrival at the restaurant Woo-hee's brother runs)
-Have we arrived?
-Yes! (Visiting the restaurant
run by Woo-hee's older brother)
We've come to my brother's restaurant. (PDC) The famous one? (Hehe~♥) You should enjoy it (PDC) It's a place known for its delicious food, right? A lot of people visit because of that. (Apart from family ties)
(Woo-hee's genuine favorite restaurant)
I also really like it, (PDC)
Are we having something delicious today? Yes! I'll treat you -(PDC) I should be treating you.
-(Chun Woo-hee) Oh no, it's okay. (Leading the way)
Okay, let's all hurry in here quickly. (Hurrying)
Oh, what's this? (Employees spring into action
at the appearance of a top star)
Hello. (Chun Woo-hee, the best!)
(Welcome to Gomijung♥) (Busy greeting after a long time)
Hello. (Like family)
Nice to see you! Hello, it's been a really long time. (Chun Woo-hee)
She has been gone for a really long time. (Reserved a VIP seat for the PD) (Hungry) (Hungry) I'll sit over here. What would you like to eat? (To regular customer, Woo-hee)
(Try the recommended menu)
What's good here? (Crab!!)
I really love crab, so (PDC choose soy sauce marinated crab, pick 22)
I'll also have soy sauce marinated crab (Woo-hee)
Brother, shall I serve you the soy sauce crab? (Woo-hee's brother)
Yes, I'll prepare the crab for you. (lol) -He'll be done in a jiffy like that.
-He is embarrassed. (Playfully teasing her brother) (Genuine sibling vibe)
-He seem awkward.
-Because he is embarrassed. (PDC)
Your mother used to run a restaurant in Icheon and it was very famous, wasn't it? Yes, that's right. (Famous for rice in Icheon)
It was a rice restaurant, (Operated the restaurant for over 30 years)
and she ran it for over 30 years, (Managed it in Seoul for a long time too)
then she came up to Seoul and managed it in Hakdong, but as her health got a bit weaker, my brother took over now. -You must have eaten well since you were young.
-Yes! (A childhood shaped by rice)
I ate really well! (Woo-hee's home's hidden culinary master is her father)
And my dad is really good at cooking. (PDC)
Does your father cook well too? (Chun Woo-hee)
Actually, my dad is even better
at cooking than my mom. (The soy sauce crab set arrives while they're talking)
Oh Yeah! (Clearly exuding a famous restaurant vibe) (It seems like they've made a reservation
for overeating today too) -Whenever we come here, we always eat a lot.
-Do you think we'll eat a lot today too? (Lavish) (A combination with no weak points) My favorite, home-cooked meal, rice, and aroma (The aroma of 'Icheon rice' is exceptional)
The scent is so good. Hooray! (Even soy sauce crab!) (Woo-hee also enjoys a rare home-cooked meal)
It's really been a long time since I had one,
because I couldn't come while I was working. I really wanted to eat it. (Chun Woo-hee)
Usually, before going into a project,
I always bring them. If it's not the director or
key staff members involved in shooting, then actors usually come along. this time, I went straight into the project,
so I couldn't come with them. (Although it's a pity that <The Atypical Family>
went into production right away...) (“So please try it.")
Hurry up and try it. The PD, who seems most excited while eating,
Yes, I'll enjoy it. I'll enjoy it. (Skillfully scooping rice) (Keeping the crust) (Chun Woo-hee) I really wanted to eat rice. (Meow) (Um~) (Gulp)
(Woo-hee tasting like a connoisseur hehehe) (Um~) (Like it!) (An enthusiastic praise for the taste of rice)
As expected, rice is essential. (Taking a big gulp~) (Sip) (Woo-hee eating happily) (Here we go!) (A tip from the daughter of
a traditional Korean restaurant.) (Scraping out the insides)
(Nothing unusual yet) (Firm preferences)
(Dislikes rice grains inside the crab shell) (Tossing it in) (Even the rice grains on the shell are precious?!)
-You think even the rice grains are precious?
-Yes (Focusing more than ever)
-Mixing it like this (PDC) Then you don't need
any other side dishes. (Chun Woo-hee) That's right. (Chun Woo-hee) My parents used to
run a restaurant when I was young, so I had a lot of time to appreciate flavors. I really spent a lot of time savoring flavors. (Traveling miles for good food is a given)
We used to go to all sorts of
restaurants when I was young, (It wasn't a trend to hunt for good restaurants like now)
but it wasn't as trendy to
hunt for good restaurants as it is now, back in the old days. (Chun Woo-hee)
My dad was quite homey, skipping school sometimes. (Chun Woo-hee's dad)
"Let's go to Gwangju!" (Skipping school for a family outing to a good restaurant)
(Let's go!)
You'd skip school and just go as a family. (In the Woo-hee family,
food was more important than study hehehe) (My dad used to cook a lot since I was young)
My dad used to cook a lot at home, and he still does! (PDC)
Does your brother
personally make the marinated crab? (Nods) (Like father, like brother, he knows his flavors)
My brother is really good at it. (Chun Woo-hee)
I really like marinated crab, and it's quite famous. I've been to quite a
few marinated crab restaurants in Seoul, (my brother's marinated crab is unbeatable~♥)
but my brother's is the best. (PDC)
You've marinated
it really well. It's not too salty. (Munch) (Crunch) (Nom~) (Pausing the interview briefly for a taste test) I'm also (sensitive to the taste of marinated crab... hehehe)
quite sensitive to it,
so my brother always asks me (Chun Woo-hee's Brother)
"How's the taste of the marinated crab this time?" (Feedback is Woo-hee's responsibility)
It seems a bit sweeter this time. What did you add more of? (Sharp)
Did you add more licorice? (Chun Woo-hee's Brother)
"This time, it boiled a bit longer." (More accurate than AI
in judging the taste of marinated crab) (PDC)
Can you cook well too, Woo-hee? (Honestly)
I guess I'm not bad at it. (Natural foodie)
I can bring out the flavors a bit. (PDC)
Do you cook everything at home? (When not busy, I cook myself)
When I'm not busy, (When busy, just basic cooking)
I'm usually just doing basic cooking because I'm busy with work. (Chun Woo-hee)
Actually, I want to cook, but my parents... (PDC)
You live together with them? We live separately... (Chun Woo-hee)
They really enjoy coming and cooking for me. If they come to our house and cook a bit, (My true feelings just slipped out...) You'd love that. (As much as I'd love it)
I also feel sorry, (for causing them trouble)
It's a mix of feeling really good about it, wanting to feed their daughter, "As for what you want to eat?" "Just tell me and I'll make it!" They come over in a rush like that, (PDC)
Do your parents ever mention getting married? (Dad wishes for marriage)
Dad says it would be good if you did, Mom says do whatever you want. (Mom is fine with being alone)
If you want to live alone, you can. (PDC)
Most moms, having lived their own lives, (Resist the idea of mandatory marriage)
(Shared reaction among moms with daughters)
They think they've had enough of their own lives and don't necessarily push their daughters into marriage. (Not pressuring yet)
That's how it is. (Woo-hee still uncertain about marriage)
My feelings about marriage change all the time. Actually, I'm undecided about marriage. I never really thought about having kids. (PDC)
You seem to adore your niece a lot, though? I love babies, But... To be completely honest, (First, let me take a bite of food) When I'm too engrossed in work, When acting is too enjoyable, (A time when I never even thought about marriage)
I never felt the desire to get married, (Feelings change as time passes)
But everything changes over time, you know? Even if you have money, fame, everything, (What remains in the end...)
What remains after time passes? (Family)
That's family. (Chun Woo-hee)
If I have a child, I want to be by their side until
they're 5 years old, no matter what. I wouldn't work, (Since I know how my parents raised me)
Because I know how my parents raised me, (I want to raise my child the same way)
I want to raise my child like that too. (Giving everything to the child)
(I have a feeling I would sacrifice
too much for the child) During the time I'm not working,
Could I handle that? What if I release the stress of not
working onto the child? I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the role of
a mother well. (I might not be good at the role of a mother)
I'm afraid I won't be good at that role. (Worries of Chun Woo-hee)
I'm scared I won't be as good
as I think I should be. (With marriage comes various new roles)
Daughter, mother, wife,
daughter-in-law, there are many new roles, (Chun Woo-hee)
If I can't do those properly, Shouldn't I just be satisfied alone for now? (Many thoughts make it complicated)
-I have a lot of thoughts.
-Right. When I talk about this, (People around) "Just get married first." (She was known as
a born-to-be star since her school days)
SES and Fin.K.L had just debuted at that time. Who did you play there? (On stage)
(Always holding the center position, Woo-hee) (Should I also try for "Street Women Fight 3"?) (Secretive actress's private life I want to follow?)
What if I document that? No! (Absolutely! Protect!! My privacy!!!)
Absolutely not! (Should I venture into entertainment too???)
But I think I'd be really good at entertainment. Honestly, I'm a really funny person. (Is it time to unseal Chun Woo-hee?)
It might be time to unseal it now. (It might be okay to unseal Chun Woo-hee?)
It might be okay to unseal me. (And on the way home)
(First time revealing this story)
Actually... I was really physically unwell, So I lost all enthusiasm for everything... (At that time, even considering quitting acting) ("What happened to Woo-hee...?")
Suddenly, I cried a lot, (More in-depth discussions will continue in part 2...) (BY PDC)
