Jeon Jong Seo is a prominent face in the Korean film industry. Her famous works include burning, The Call, Money Heist in Korean...
Despite possessing a unique, individual appearance and strong acting style, Jeon Jong Seo's most recent projects such as "Incessible Marriage" and "Queen Woo" have been embroiled in controversy. This is also the reason why the media is waiting for the actress's breakthrough in "Project Y".
The work is directed by Lee Hwan - a famous director with bold themes and different approaches in the films "Park Hwa Young", "Age of 18 years old revolution"...
Set in Gangnam District (Seoul), Project Y tells the story of the bold ambition of two friends of the same age (played Han So Hee and Jeon Jong Seo) to steal 8 billion won worth (about 5.8 million USD) of gold bars and disappear without a trace.
Notably, not only in the film but in real life, Han So Hee and Jeon Jong Seo are also the same age, so the understanding between the two when playing best friends is a factor that is noticed.
Speaking about this, Jeon Jong Seo expressed: I am currently filming with Han So Hee. As far as I know, no Korean film has had 2 female actors of the same age starring. That alone is what makes this project extremely attractive to me.
I think this is the most physically demanding role I have ever taken on. I am putting all my efforts into filming, hoping that the film will succeed in grasping many different aspects that the two female characters can portray.
According to the actress, at the age of 31, she has many changes in her thinking as well as her way of understanding herself. There were times when I expected big changes when the new year started, but after 2024, I felt more secure.
I have taken on projects with high expectations, but the results I have received are sometimes not as good as expected. After reflecting on what I am good at and what I need to learn and improve, I have understood myself better.
