Cha Joo-young “‘Won-gyeong’ Can‘t Let Go... I Unknowingly Fall In Love With You And Acted” [Photoshoot]

Actress Cha Joo-young met with fashion magazine Elle. Completely different from the majesty of the queen she showed in the drama ‘Won-gyeong’, she showed off a lovely and mysterious charm that seemed to have just popped out of a fairy tale.

Cha Joo-young, who recently finished the epic journey of ‘Won-gyeong’, said, “This is the first project I’ve never been able to let go of (laughs). Even thinking about it now, I get emotional. It was my first time acting as a woman who is like a historical symbol, and I was afraid that I would look like I was just imitating her, but at some point I unknowingly fell in love with her and acted. Just as Won-gyeong said to Lee Bang-won, “You‘ve worked hard as the king,” I want to tell Queen Won-gyeong, “You’ve worked hard as a woman,” he confessed.

Cha Joo-young, who played the role of Dami, the wife of a golf course owner, in his screen debut, “Lobby,” which was released on the 2nd, presented a completely different character. He said, “As soon as you sit down in the theater, you can feel what kind of character Dami is (laughs). I was interested in working with the genre that Director Ha Jung-woo can express, the production team, and the cast that I wondered how they came together. I was very curious about the set, and going to the set was fun, like going on a trip. I diligently watched my seniors act.”

As for the women that Cha Joo-young likes, he said, “Someone who is not obsessed with themselves but gives off an atmosphere that is just as they are. I think it‘s cool to quietly show who they are rather than adding this and that explanation to their own things.”

He said that acting is the only job he chose for himself and said, “Although there were trials and errors, it is a good thing and a choice that I have made it this far. However, I am still scared and afraid and I think it will be the same in the future. I will have to devote a lot of time and thought to my next project, and I will always go to the set with a question mark.”

Cha Joo-young’s pictorial and interview can be found in the April issue of Elle and on the Elle website.
