'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin' Kwon Yu-ri led the drama with an unlimited transformation.

On the 24th, tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama starring Kwon Yu-ri and Lee Han-shin (directed by Park Chi-hyung, scripted by Yoon Sang-ho) ended with a happy ending that condemned the father and son of evil Ji Dong-man (Song Young-chang) and Ji Myeong-seop (Lee Hak-joo) and gave the small screen a pleasant relationship until the end.

In particular, Ahn Seo-yoon, played by Kwon Yu-ri in the final episode, suppressed the situation when Ji Myeong-seop was angry with a long gun, and after being promoted to inspector shortly afterwards, he visited his younger brother Anda-yoon (Kim Ye-na)'s charnel house and vowed not to cry again, giving viewers a deep lingering impression.




Above all, Kwon Yu-ri, who challenged the action genre for the first time through this work, said "The experience of choreography training for group dance on stage during the singer's career helped me to match the action and show my quickness on the set. If I have a chance, I want to train harder and try more dynamic actions"He expressed his passion for acting.

In addition, Kwon Yu-ri said, "Each character's charm stood out from the time I read the script, and it seems that viewers also enjoyed the chemistry and team play between the characters. Thank you very much for watching the process of combating social evil together and giving us a lot of support."

Finally, Kwon Yu-ri said "'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin' was a new challenge for me, and it was a work that allowed me to grow again. Thank you to the many viewers who supported 'Ahn Seo-yoon' and loved us 'Gaseokbbangs'. I'll come back with a better appearance, he said, leaving a loving greeting.




Meanwhile, Kwon Yu-ri will meet the audience with the role of 'Min' in the 2025 release film 'Invasion', which was officially invited to the 29th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) 'Today-Panorama' section and drew attention.

The following is Kwon Yuri's question and answer.

- If you could tell me why you decided to appear on 'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin' and how you feel about the end of the show?




▶The freshness of the subject matter of parole examiner, the character 'Ahn Seo-yoon', and the exhilaration of the action were many parts that I found attractive while reading the script, so I decided to appear. I vividly remember starting filming with one mind during the cold winter last year, but I'm sad that it's already over. We sincerely thank the viewers for their love and interest, and we will come back with a more advanced appearance in the next work. Please continue to support us!

- 'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin' ended with a significant record of being No. 1 in the same time period, including 12 consecutive cable episodes from the first broadcast to the end, and No. 2 in tvN's Monday-Tuesday dramas based on average ratings. How do you feel about that?

▶From the time I read the script, each character's charm stood out, and I think the viewers also enjoyed the chemistry and team play between the characters. Thank you so much for watching the process of combating social evil together and giving us a lot of support.

- Challenging an action genre that has never been done before, it was praised as a new discovery of Kwon Yu-ri. How did you feel about trying the action for the first time?

It was my first time trying ▶ action in earnest. What I felt while doing it was that the experience of choreography training for group dance on stage during the singer's career helped me to match the action and show my quickness on the set. If I have a chance in the future, I want to train harder and try more dynamic actions.

- In particular, there were many scenes that caused catharsis, including the chase scene of Choi Jeong-hak (Nam Min-woo), the scuffle at the restaurant in Jangju, and the arrest of Lim Jung-kyun (Im Hyo-woo). You said that there are many parts where you use the topographical features of the scene or put them together on the spot. What is the most memorable episode while filming?

▶The scene of Lim Jung-kyun's arrest is the most memorable. There was a long sequence that I originally prepared, but I had to recreate the action on the spot according to the situation on the spot, and thanks to that, I came out better with a sense of realism. Thanks to the consideration of the other actor and director, I was able to finish the shoot safely without any injuries. And in the practice room, we prepared much more dynamic moves. I haven't tried all of them or been on the show due to the conditions, but the experience of training and practicing like that is really rewarding and memorable.

- Various chemistry with Lee Han-shin (Kosu) and Choi Hwa-ran (Baek Ji-won) 'Gaseokbbangs', the structure of the confrontation with Ji-seop, and the collaboration with junior detective Kim Joo-mok (Na Hyun-woo) also led to good reactions. How did you feel on the spot?

▶I think the acting transformation of the master who played the role of Lee Han-shin was very fresh and enjoyable. It was my second time working with Baek Ji-won as Choi Hwa-ran, and I was amazed by the detailed performance in each scene, and I had so much fun working on it that I felt sad that the filming was ending. I spent the most time with actor Na Hyun-woo in the role of Kim Joo-mok, and I remember communicating well and having a lot of good influence by relying on him.

- It was impressive to see him constantly communicating with director Yoon Sang-ho and creating scenes during filming making. How was your relationship with director Yoon Sang-ho?

▶The director was a tireless energy on the spot, and his energy was incorporated into the work. I learned a lot from the director's leadership and active attitude. And I'm so grateful that he gave me a new opportunity to challenge himself as Detective Ace of the Metropolitan Investigation Unit 'An Seo-yoon'.

- In addition to 'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin', he has been nominated for the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards for his leading film 'Dolphin' released earlier this year, and attended the 29th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) for his upcoming film 'Invasion'. What's the driving force behind your continuous activities?

▶The biggest driving force is the fans who constantly send love, interest, and support. Thank you for giving me love without getting tired. I'm just grateful. When you're not good enough, you love me as much as you're not good enough, and you even encourage me, so I have courage that I didn't have and I want to do well.

- What did 'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin' mean to you, and if you say your last words to the viewers who loved the roles of 'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin' and 'Ahn Seo-yoon'?

▶'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin' was a new challenge for me, and it was a work that allowed me to grow again. Thank you to the many viewers who cheered for 'An Seoyoon' and loved us 'Gaseokbbangs'. I'll come back with a better look.
