To promote her upcoming movie, 'You Call It Passion,' which is set for a November 25 premiere, Park Bo Young met with Hankuk Ilbo for an interview, where she related surprising stories about getting scolded if her acting was not good enough.
When asked, "Like [your character] Do Ra Hee, have you ever experienced getting scolded on set?"
She replied, "I've [experienced it] extremely often. I heard a lot of words like, 'Think carefully about your job,' 'Go home,' and more. Whenever that happens, I think, 'I will not cry.' From one director, I even got hit on the head with the scenario book. Even if it was hard, I accepted it because I could not act. The seniors treated me warmly, so I overcame it. If I were disheartened, the seniors would come and pat me on the back. If I were unable to quickly immerse myself in the feeling, the seniors would say stuff like, 'She's still young, so you need to give her some time,' which consoled me and gave me strength. No matter what the work is, whatever work you do is the hardest. I came to think that when talking with friends." Still... sounds like a sort of abusive working environment... that is not cool at all.
When asked, "Up to when did you get in trouble for being bad at acting?" she replied, "It was not too long ago. I can't say in detail," and laughed. Cheer up, Park Bo Young!
