Actress Seo Eun-soo in the movie ‘The Witch Part2. He revealed that he ate chicken breast for a long time for ‘The Other One (Witch 2, Director Park Hoon-jung)’. After starting filming, he showed his passion for having his face thrown into the dirt with the determination that even a single body might be broken.
‘Witch 2’ is an action movie depicting what happens when a girl (Cynthia) comes out of the world by surviving alone in a devastated secret laboratory, and forces chasing her for different purposes.
Seo Eun-soo said, “I knew that ‘Witch 2’ was coming out. I had a meeting with director Park Hoon-jung, but I went without knowing the role. I went with an innocent and feminine image, but the director said ‘handsome’. ‘ I received the script,” he said. “The director told me to read the script and contact me if it was interesting. I was really shocked following reading the script. I contacted the director and said, ‘I want to stay on Jeju Island for a long time.'”

It turns out that Seo Eun-soo is a steamed fan who has watched the first part, ‘The Witch’ countless times. He said, “I liked all of Director Park Hoon-jung’s works. I was also a fan of ‘The Witch’. As a fan waiting for the ‘Witch’ series, I wanted to participate in ‘Witch 2’. I said that I wanted to do any kind of work.” He showed his extraordinary fandom.
Why was Seo Eun-soo passionate regarding ‘Witch’? He said, “There are not many movies in Korea where women lead (play) with action. I was most attracted to that aspect. I was drawn to it because it had an action scale that I had not seen in Korea.” I’ve seen ‘Hannah’, ‘Lucy’, etc. The director recommended ‘G.I.Jane.’ ‘G.I.Jane’ is a story of a woman who enters a navy room and survives hard but survives. It went well,” he explained.
In the play, Seo Eun-soo takes on the role of Jo Hyeon. Johyun is an ace agent from the headquarters with quick judgment, ruthless judgment and ruthless killing ability.

Seo Eun-soo said, “The character the director wrote was attractive. When I read the script, I was more burdened by the fact that ‘Can I express myself in a three-dimensional and attractive way when I did it?’ ‘ I was very worried. I was in an important position in the play, and there was a lot of delivery and action. I was also worried, ‘Can I do this?'”
In addition, Seo Eun-soo said, “I was worried, but it was a good opportunity as an actor. The opportunity to take on a character that is 180 degrees different from the character I’ve been doing doesn’t really seem like it will come once more. So I was really grateful. I was thinking of doing it too. I did it while my face was buried in the dirt.”
Seo Eun-soo started a new acting transformation in ‘Witch 2’. He laughed, “It was good because there were a lot of faces that I had not shown before. In a way, there are faces that I usually wanted to hide and were shy.

In order to express Johyeon with ruthless killing ability, Seo Eunsoo prepared a character by doing exercises centered on muscle strength. Seo Eun-soo said, “In action school, I focused on muscle strength rather than trying to match the sum. I did it to the point of sweating. Other than that, I did a lot of strengthening my arm muscles while doing PT.” “Women don’t gain muscle easily. More physical strength than usual This is regarding as big as it gets. I should have gained weight, but I mightn’t gain weight on my face. It was difficult.”
Seo Eun-soo said, “I ate a lot of chicken breast. I stayed for 4 and a half months in Jeju Island, and I had an air fryer and a humidifier. I ate chicken breast in the air fryer, but it didn’t taste good. “I ate chicken breast for a long time. That was hard work,” he said.
Not only that, but he also mentioned difficult scenes. Seo Eun-soo said, “There is a scene in the drama where I drink alcohol. I think I drank 6L of barley tea while filming that scene. Since I drank 6L, every time I drank water, I wanted to go to the bathroom.” “I drank like that, so my body needed salt. I wanted to say no, so I asked the manager for salty food. I cut off the food I received and ate it. Then, my body suddenly became very swollen. I filmed the next scene in a plump state.”

Seo Eun-soo said, “(Lee) Jong-seok is the senior I am most grateful for while doing ‘Witch 2’. He supported me a lot. “He helped me. There were times when I was having a hard time, but he complimented me a lot, saying, ‘I’m doing well’ and ‘I’m Johyun.’ After we finished filming, the agency became the same.
It is Seo Eun-soo who expressed her gratitude for Jo Min-soo. He said, “Seeing you, it felt like you were in the first part. When I first met you, I said, ‘This is the filming location’, but seeing you in front of me, I thought I was in ‘Witch 2’. “Senior said to me, ‘Congratulations on becoming Johyun.’ And he said, ‘I don’t know newcomers well, but I remember your face.’ Thank you,” he said.
Lastly, Seo Eun-soo said, “‘The Witch 2’ is the work that I concentrated on the most in my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to show the public and the audience a new side of me. , I hope you don’t know that Johyun is Seo Eunsoo until you see the movie and leave the theater. I’m not a rookie at all, I have an existing image, so I want you to throw away that and remember that ‘Johyun was Seo Eunsoo’.”
