Actress Gu Hye-seon debuted as a feature-length film director with her movie "Magic." Appearing on "Story Show 'Rock'" on KBS2TV Tuesday, she talked about how she felt reluctant as an actress debuting as a director.
MC Lee Ji-ae asked what she thought of her directorial debut. Gu said, "When I shot my very first short length film, I did worry that the staff would be prejudiced against an actress turned director. But there were no such worries working on a feature length film. Rather, being an actress, it was easier to get close with the cast members."
The chat with Gu was focused on revealing her honest thoughts and the directorial side of the beautiful actress.
She expressed strong feelings for "Magic," which opens in June.
She was hands-on throughout the process, from the script writing, which took three months, and the casting.
In a recent technical preview of the film, Gu showed up noticeably nervous but all the more determined as a director, saying, "I will do my best to contribute as much as I can for the advance of the Korean film industry."
Actor Kim Jeong-wuk, the main lead of Magic who appeared on the KBS2TV morning drama "I Will Give You All" that just ended recently, praised Gu, saying, "She didn't appear as a cute actress but a director in charge."
On the talk show, she also spoke about how some people view her various activities as a singer, actress, writer, illustrator and pianist as frivolous and ostentatious. She said all the criticism helps her to improve and be more responsible about what she does.
Gu first gained public attention with her adorable looks when her photographs were posted on the Internet. She got her break in the hit drama "Boys over Flowers" and has debuted as a film director.
Story Show 'Rock' airs on KBS2TV every Tuesday night at 12:45 a.m.
