Cho Yu-ri met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 9th and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Squid Game 2' (played by Hwang Dong-hyuk, directed) and expressed her feelings about joining the large-scale project. Jo Yu-ri said "A lot of people are interested in it, and every time I post an Instagram post 'like' the number of likes and comments is so different from before, I'm just grateful for this kind of attention." expressed his feelings.
Cho Yu-ri then recalled the process of joining 'Squid Game 2' and "The open audition was held largely, and I applied for the video audition and watched it. I had four auditions, one audition with the director Cho, and one audition with the director. There were so many people who applied for the first audition, so I think it took two months until the second audition, and all of them spent more than three months in this audition."
Jo Yu-ri couldn't believe it when she first heard the news of her acceptance. I felt like I was dreaming. I remember shedding tears of emotion. I called my mom and told her, `I passed it.'"It's not that I've lived for a long time, but it was the most difficult time in my life, and the last audition was 'Squid Game' audition. So I felt like I was auditioning with the energy of the universe. I thought that such passion of 'I will do this work for sure' might have come into contact with Jun-hee's passion that he would go out of the game with his child.
Jo Yu-ri also had many other auditions around the time of auditioning for "Squid Game 2", some of which were not fruitful. I lived hard to achieve results, but those things seem to have come as a bit of a burden. At that time, there was actually a father figure, so I went through a difficult time overlapping this and that in many ways.
In addition, Cho Yu-ri, who had already experienced auditions through Produce 48, said she had been thinking about various ways to win the audition. Jo Yu-ri `I thought I was more familiar with auditions than others, so I checked carefully. I also set the details of how to do it and how to do it. For example, I've decided what to wear. I purposely found and wore dull clothes, and since it was a character in a corner of my life, it would be impossible to dye or fix my hair, so I did it more like an ink stick, and I even cut my hair randomly at home. While thinking about how to look like a person in a corner of life, I drew dark circles on my face. "
Born in 2001, at the age of 24, acting as a pregnant woman must have been a burden as a former idol. Cho Yu-ri said "Of course, there is a burden, but I think it was a burden because it was an area I had not experienced, rather than because it was a burden because it was a pregnant woman. I was most worried about it because people who experienced it might feel awkward when they saw it, and I think it was a burden. There was nothing else to be burdened about."
Some have heard rumors that new actors Cho Yu-ri and Top (Choi Seung-hyun) received 4.2 billion won for their performance fees. In response, Jo Yu-ri said "Thank you for asking that question" There is a rumor that he received "4.2 billion, and at first, he laughed when he saw it. I moved on happily, but there were more people who believed than I thought. I can't tell you the exact fee, but 4.2 billion won is an amount I've never thought about or touched. completely rumoured."
'Squid Game 2' is a story about a fierce battle between 'Gi-hoon'(Lee Jung-jae) who returns to the game after vowing revenge, and 'Frontman'(Lee Byung-hun) who greets him, and a real game that begins again. According to Netflix's Top 10 To Doom website (Netflix Tudum) on the 8th, Season 2 of Squid Game recorded 58,200,000 viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work) from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5, topping the list of top 10 English and non-English integrations in Netflix's global top 10 series.
In addition, Season 2, which ranked seventh in Netflix's all-time most popular series (non-English) within the first week of its release, is surprising as it ranked second with 126,200,000 viewers in 11 days.
