T-ara's Qri talks about her experience on the set of "King Geunchogo"

Having enjoyed a successful stint in "Queen Seondeok", T-ara's Qri was cast for another historical drama alongside fellow member Eunjung. In her latest interview with Newsen, she talked about her audition process for "King Geunchogo", and shared�her thoughts on being a part of the cast. Qri began by explaining how she was offered the role. "I was eating with my mom when I suddenly got a call asking me to come in.�I went and saw that it was for a meeting with the director of 'King Geunchogo.'�Eunjung said that she was abruptly called out while watching a movie as well. Neither of us were ready at all when we went in for the meeting." Fortunately, both ladies landed their roles and have been earning many headlines lately for the photos they've shared from the set. Oddly enough, Qri's 'mother' in the show (actress Lee Se Eun), was revealed to only be six year older than Qri. The idol mused,�"I met her through this drama for the first time. She teaches me so many things.�I play a 15 year old girl in the drama, and since it's a historical drama, I'm only allowed minimal make-up. Senior Lee Se Eun is already so youthful looking and I can't use make-up to make me look younger, so it makes me feel self conscious!" She continued, "The atmosphere on set is great. With the additions of Eunjung and Supernova's Geon-Il, the older actors on set really welcomed us." Qri also took fencing lessons for her role, which caused her body to feel some strain. "My character knows how to work with swords so I needed to learn it at least for the basics," she said. "One of my veins burst because of the sudden pressure I put on it while holding heavy swords.�There's also a scene where I get hit by a sword, and I was actually hit, which resulted in bruising.�It's not gone yet, but it's okay." Concluding the interview, Qri revealed, "When I'm not working, I take Japanese lessons.�Anything outside of my schedule, I'm focusing on learning the language." Source: Newsen via Nate
