Actress Park Bo-young is out to protect her youthful and lovely image.

Park Bo-young said in an interview after the end of tvN Saturday-Sunday drama “Unknown Seoul,” “Even 3-4 years ago, I was worried that I would be stuck with the ‘Pobbly’ image.I wanted to try out different characters, but I was worried that people would only see me as cute.But now, I’m grateful.I’m realizing more and more how grateful I am for the ‘Pobbly’ image.I’ll maintain it.”

He said that he has been playing dark roles for several years in order to erase his ‘Pobbly’ image.He said, “I tried a dark character for about two years.In the movie ‘Concrete Utopia’, Netflix’s ‘Morning at the Mental Ward’, etc.In this drama ‘Unknown Seoul’, Yumi-ji is bright but also has pain, and Yumi-rae is a friend who has been emotionally exhausted from the beginning,” revealing that it was an attempt to broaden the spectrum.

He continued, “But I think I’ve quenched my thirst to some extent.Since I’ve been playing dark roles continuously, I feel like my basic tension has gone down, so I’ve been thinking about doing something bright again.I also wonder why I keep trying to send messages through my works,” and added, “I’m currently filming a work called ‘Goldland,’ and it’s the darkest character I’ve played so far.From now on, I’ll definitely play a bright character,” raising curiosity about his next work.

Park Bo-young received favorable reviews for her role as identical twin sisters Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae in the drama ‘Unknown Seoul’, which ended on the 29th.
