Choi Yoo-jung, formerly of girl group Weki Meki, shared her thoughts on her screen debut in the film ‘Baeksoo‘s Apartment’.

‘Baeksoo’s Apartment’, which will be released on the 26th, is a mystery comedy tracking drama that depicts what happens when Baeksoo Mirror (Kyung Soo-jin), who seeks justice by stirring up the neighborhood, investigates her neighbors to find out the source of the noise that echoes through her apartment every 4 a.m. It stars Kyung Soo-jin, Kim Joo-ryung, Go Kyu-pil, Lee Ji-hoon, and Choi Yoo-jung, and is director Iru Da‘s directorial debut.

Choi Yoo-jung, who made her screen debut through this film, said at a press conference held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 24th, “I was so grateful that I was able to film something called a movie. I’ve always just imagined it, but today I got to see the completed movie for the first time, and I think it was fun to watch because it was filmed so fun and it was captured well on screen,” he said with a bright smile.

He played the role of Saet-byul, a MZ generation civil service exam taker with a bold and sassy personality in the drama. He explained, “The character uses a lot of harsh language, but in fact, I often come across swear words and such when talking to people around me, so it wasn‘t difficult to prepare for it. And since the character is very much an MZ generation character, I watched a lot of videos and prepared.”

Kyung Soo-jin added, “Yoo-jung is just so talented. She’s good at dancing and singing, and she‘s polite on set, but when she acts, she really acts like an ’MZ generation character‘ without the ’four things‘,” making everyone laugh.
