Kwon Nara “‘Itaewon Class’ Running for 7 hours, crying, wouldn‘t stop” (Cold Interview)

Actress Kwon Nara shared a behind-the-scenes story of the drama ‘Itaewon Class’.

On the YouTube entertainment show ‘DEX’s Cold Interview’, which was released on the 7th, actress Kwon Nara, formerly of girl group Hello Venus, appeared as a guest.

On that day, Dex said about Kwon Nara, “There‘s something refreshing. Her facial features make me feel like I’m looking at an unobstructed highway”, and said, “The drama ‘Itaewon Class’ is one of the top three masterpieces of my life. I went crazy when I saw her take off her mask in the drama. It‘s so touching to meet that person in person”. Kwon Nara replied, “The directors filmed it so beautifully. “I was lucky that it turned out that way,” she said, embarrassed.

Kwon Nara, who debuted as a member of the girl group Hello Venus in 2012, is currently an actress. She confessed, “I always get very nervous and scared when I start a project, so I watch a lot of my seniors’ interviews to gain courage. I think I wouldn‘t be able to do this if I didn’t really love and enjoy it. I want to love acting and have fun doing it.”

She then said, “There are so many things I haven‘t done in terms of acting. I really want to try action scenes,” and added, “There was a scene in ’Itaewon Class‘ where I had to run, and senior Park Seo Joon was really good at running. I ran up the hills of Itaewon for 7 hours. I cried later because my legs wouldn’t move. I thought to myself, ‘action scenes might be too hard for me,’ so I didn‘t try it.” To this, Dex confessed, “I think I’ll be good at action scenes. I hope you get to hold a gun just once,” he said, sending a message of support.
