On the morning of the 19th, at a place in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Kim Seol-hyun met with Sports Chosun and responded to an interview to commemorate the opening of 'Light Shop'.
Disney+'s original series 'Light Shop' (directed by Kim Hee-won/original & scripted by Kang Pul/produced by Mr. Romance/Co-produced by Moving Pictures) is the only place that lights up the end of a dark alley. The story takes place when customers with suspicious secrets come to a lighting shop.
In the first to fourth episodes, it overwhelmed the audience in a tense atmosphere with a mysterious horror genre, and in the fifth to eighth episodes released last week, it added dramatic fun with a narrative that caused a reversal, giving them a high sense of immersion and emotion.
In the play, Kim Seol-hyun plays Lee Ji-young, a suspicious guest who made an extreme choice believing that she lost her lover Kim Hyun-min (Um Tae-gu). Ji-young is a trauma character who sits on a bench in memory and waits for her lover with a setting where she can't speak. Seol-hyun received favorable reviews by stimulating viewers' tears with only her eyes and delicate expressions in the scene where Ji-young speaks her lover's name for the first time after hard work.
As for his relationship with his counterpart, Um Tae-gu, Kim Seol-hyun said, `When I filmed happy scenes, I used to have believers that weren't in the script,' and added, `It was touching to see Um Tae-gu trying to express Hyun-min's love even though he was embarrassed.' Then, even though he was embarrassed when he said "Cut", I felt his willingness to show Hyun-min's emotions better when he went back into filming. That made the character more authentic," he added.
He also expressed his feelings about working together for the second time since the movie 'Ahn Si-sung'. Kim Seol-hyun said, `We didn't have much conversation because we had similar styles of focusing until we started filming each other. Rather, it was more convenient to focus on each other without saying anything.'
Then "People around me recommended that we talk, but we felt like we could communicate telepathically even if we didn't say it. This naturalness made each other more comfortable"After all, it felt like a soulmate, and now we're really close."
Disney+'s original series 'Light Shop' is available for Disney+ viewing.
