On February 23, the press conference to launch tvN's new Monday-March drama "Siren's kiss" was held through TVing and Naver TV. Actors Park Min Young, Wi Ha Joon, Kim Jung Hyun and director Kim Cheol Kyu attended the event.
In the movie, Park Min Young plays Han Seol Ah - head auctioneer at Royal Auction - and attracts attention when revealing that she has strictly dieted to transform into the character.
The actress explained: "The character Han Seol Ah in the movie does not eat or drink. Many tragedies happen around her, so she does not eat and stays at home only drinking water and alcohol.
This is a person who feels extremely lonely when alone and suffers from panic disorder. I felt I shouldn't gain weight for this role. Throughout the filming process, I fasted and drank 3 liters of water every day.
Park Min Young shared frankly: "Currently I have returned to normal. I think keeping myself in a more gloomy state will be suitable for the character. I have really turned myself into a very gloomy person," she said about the difficulties she has gone through.
Previously, Park Min Young also attracted attention with a strong weight loss in the 2024 drama "Marry my husband". When playing a character with cancer, she lost weight to only 37kg.
The beauty born in 1986 once shared: "I ate very little and during filming I only lived on ionized drinking water. The film crew was very interested. They filmed those scenes first, including the scene of death, and then gave me about two weeks to regain 5kg".
Meanwhile, "Siren's kiss" tells the story of a woman suspected of insurance fraud, with irresistible attraction that captivates everyone, and a man begins to suspect a series of deaths happening around her and is determined to delve deeper into the truth.
The film stars Park Min Young, Wi Ha Joon, Kim Jung Hyun, Lee El and Han Joon Woo, and is scheduled to air at 8:50 PM (Korean time) on March 2 on tvN.
