Kim Go-eun played Lee Hwa-rim, a top-class shaman with outstanding skills and charisma at a young age in the occult mystery film 「Farmyo」 (directed by Jang Jae-hyun, produced by Showbox and Pine Town Productions), released on February 22.
Kim Go-eun, who played the most unconventional character in filmography, the MZ shaman Hwa-rim, performed a truly exciting performance. He helped the family of Park Ji-yong (Kim Jae-cheol), who was in danger despite the opposition of Sang-deok (Choi Min-sik), a feng shui historian, who felt an ominous energy in the Akji, and later showed his crazy presence by doing his best to solve the bizarre case. The perfect performance is so perfect that even the audience is concerned about Kim Go-eun's love affair. Kim Go-eun, who rode a sketch in the `Pillow,' embraced the unanimous Best Actress trophy without disagreement from the judges at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards held on the 29th of last month. It is the first Blue Dragon Award and the first leading actor award in 12 years since he won the New Fox Award for his performance of 'Eungyo' at the 33rd Blue Dragon Awards held in 2012. In addition, Kim Go-eun added a record for the first best actress award for Blue Dragon in her 90s.

He felt similar when he won the Rookie of the Year award 12 years ago and when he won the Best Actress award this time. What's changed is that I'm wearing heels a little better than then. When I won the New Fox Award, it was so hard to wear high heels. So I remember taking off my heels throughout the awards ceremony, and then I quickly went on stage wearing heels to the name of the Rookie of the Year award. All the seniors who saw me at that time laughed. This time, I can wear heels better than then, and I can enjoy the Blue Dragon Film Awards comfortably."

Then, I heard the story of the distribution company officials that "Once during the stage greeting "850,000 people today alone" and my hair turned white at that time. I thought you were talking about the cumulative audience, but it was the daily audience. I remember that I really took a picture of the authenticity and sent it to you every day. I took a photo of the 7 million mark today, and the next day, they asked for a photo of the 8 million mark. 'What's going on here?' He even said, "I'm scared." It's so nice, but it's so scary. Then, it reached 10 million hearts. It's my first 10 million work in my life, so I'll never forget it for the rest of my life."
Before Kim Go-eun won the Best Actress Award this year, the scene where Jang Jae-hyun, the director of 'Pamyo', won the Best Director Award remained an unforgettable scene. At the time of the director's award, director Jang shed tears, saying, `Respectful Kim Go-eun, I'm so happy that you're a Korean actor.' Kim Go-eun, who was watching this, also finished the moving stage with tears in her eyes.
Kim Go-eun "While listening to director Jang Jae-hyun's acceptance speech, I almost burst into tears without realizing it. I think I really held it in with my teeth. Director Jang's eyes were filled with tears since he already received the award. Sitting in the audience, crying again?' I was only thinking of teasing him saying, 'He's a crybaby. He suddenly said to me, 'I'm so happy that he's a Korean actor'. Isn't it the best compliment an actor can hear? I held it in because I thought it would be a good idea if I cried a lot. I had never heard such praise in my life. Even if the director's choice of words was not grand, there was a big impression. The director and I tease each other a lot and make each other cringe. The director cried while looking at me, and I also got emotional. Director Jang's acceptance speech is likely to be memorable for the rest of his life. It has been a huge boost to my acting life from now on. When I won the Best Actress Award, I also wanted to say 'I'm glad that director Jang Jae-hyun is a Korean director', but I'm still so sorry and sad that I couldn't say that."

Kim Go-eun "It was a really touching hot pot when she saw the unanimous screening table. The audience and the movie people felt like adults to me, but I felt like they looked at me pretty, who was still lacking. When I read the review, I was happy because I felt that everyone enjoyed my growth and was happy"It seems that he debuted at a relatively young age and grew up with warm eyes from his surroundings all the time. It was like an implicit support that led me to grow up well and go on a good path. I always thought I had to go right, and I'm telling my acquaintances 'If I'm going wrong, please tell me ' I want to be a good actor with everyone's support" he said.
He said "I really enjoy the acting right now. But it's exhausting. I think I really acted without resting since the tvN drama Yumi's Cells that aired in 2021. I don't know what's right, but I want to do it when I can work hard now. In my acceptance speech, I said that I wanted to act with gratitude, and that's really my true feelings. It seems to be a deeper commitment every year. I'm grateful to be able to act."

Kim Go-eun "This year, there was also 'Pmyo', and she also met the audience with 'Loving Law in the Large City". The Blue Dragon Film Awards were nominated for the flower of the `Pillow' and attended, but throughout the awards ceremony, there were many videos of `Pillow' and `How to Love the City' and seemed to have more fun. In addition, didn't Noh Sang-hyun also receive the Rookie Award for his "Loving Law in the Large City?" Watching the Blue Dragon Film Awards, I thought 'I've lived a good life this year'I've lived a good life' It's not easy to be recognized on such a big stage no matter how hard you work and act. It is not easy to be recognized as a work itself, but both the work and the character felt strongly welcomed at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. I felt like everyone gave me a warm hug"I thought deeply.
Then "I thought I worked hard on my own once, but there were many works that were neglected, so I was upset. Of course, he was a rookie and lacked a lot. Still, my arms bent inward, and all the works I participated in were as sweet as children. There have always been works that hurt one side of my heart, but through the process, a sense of responsibility has become stronger. I learned from failure and I think I was definitely growing a little bit."
Kim Go-eun, who overcame the burnout, "I'm overcoming all the difficulties remembering this year. I hope this energy continues. I don't like to think about anything grandiose. I'm so happy that I won the award, but I'm going to think about 'It must have been a better year for me this year' and go back to my daily life. As I continue to carry the weight of this award, I think I'll be too unhappy if I worry about 'what if my next work doesn't go well?' or if I fall into the illusion that I've won the award. If you're having a hard time, you cry once, saying 'What should I do about not being able to do?' He explained, 'Wouldn't I be able to grow further if you continued to hold it and torment me?'
Finally "This year is a year where I lived really hard even thinking about myself. If you think about it, it was a year when you worked hard and you were able to get recognition. There were two films that were released, but in the meantime, I worked hard to film the next one. In fact, last year was a very difficult year in my life. However, it was also a year when I was able to correctly write my hard feelings in my work. That's why it's a special year"The same goes for the Blue Dragon Film Awards. The Blue Dragon Film Awards, which was a dream stage for me, is a stage that makes me dream in the past, now, and in the future. I want to go with him for the rest of my life and continue to challenge him in the future."
