Actress Kyung Soo-jin expressed her affection for Ma Dong-seok, who participated as a producer in the film ‘Baeksoo Apartment’, which she stars in.

‘Baeksoo 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 the source of the noise that echoes through her apartment every 4 a.m. Starring Kyung Soo-jin, Kim Joo-ryeong, Go Kyu-pil, Lee Ji-hoon, and Choi Yoo-jung, this is director Iru Da‘s directorial debut.

At a press conference held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 24th, Kyung Soo-jin talked about working with producer Ma Dong-seok, saying, “This is my second work with senior Ma Dong-seok,” and “To me, senior Ma is like a great elder. Senior Ma is serious about movies, but he is very cheerful when it comes to his juniors, and he lightens the mood on set with his ‘dad jokes’. He added, “Thank you so much for giving our film such a lot of strength as a producer. To me, he is a great senior who I always respect.”.

He continued, regarding the character of Mirror, who tries to personally solve the noise problem between floors of the apartment where he lives, he said, “There are some similarities between us.”. “When I was working part-time, I didn’t get my salary. At that time, the employees got together and guarded the boss‘s house for a month to get my salary. I think that character who is obsessed with justice is similar to me.”.
