We will translate the original article, starting where the questions are being asked. The interviewer’s words are in black, and Jeonghwa’s words are in blue.
Please explain your role in the play Special Liar.
I play Barbara Smith, the wife of John Smith. I’m a career woman who has a lot of confidence. And I love John very much.
I’m curious how you came to be cast in the play Special Liar.
I got a proposal from the company and read the script. Though I only read it once, I was attracted to the concise and tight charm of the work. I decided to do it right after I read it.
What was the most difficult part of Barbara Smith’s character interpretation?
Barbara is a resolute and cool-headed person, and I had the most difficulty studying and thinking about how to express what such a person would look like when she’s angry and excited.
Compared to your previous work, this one must not be easy since you breathe faster and have more acting. How was it after the first practice?
We did a lot of quick readings during the early practice to get used to breathing fast, and that was fun! During that quick breathing, I tried not to miss what I should say to the other person, responding as soon as I hear what the other person tells me, and the feelings and state I should have.
You made your debut in a play instead of a musical. I’m curious if there’s a special reason. Do you have any plans to try a musical?
I love watching plays. I always watched them. Thankfully, I got an unexpected opportunity with Almost Main. I felt a lot of freedom when I did the play. I had never felt that before in my life. I love that freedom so much that I continue to stand on the theater stage. I haven’t thought about musicals yet. If I want to do it, I’ll always try it!
