Chun Woo Hee talks about reuniting with her best friend in “Unlocked”, “I was very excited. I felt confident meeting her on the set”

Actress Chun Woo Hee expressed her feelings about acting with Kim Ye Won 12 years after the movie “Sunny”.

On February 22nd, Chun Woo Hee had an interview with Wikitree at a cafe in Sogyeol-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and shared various things about Netflix’s film “Unlocked”.

Netflix’s “Unlocked” is a reality close-up thriller that takes place when an ordinary office worker faces threats in her daily life after losing her smartphone, which contains all of her personal information. Chun Woo Hee appears in the movie as Na Mi, who suffers various incidents and loses her friends after losing her smartphone.

Na Mi has a best friend who is always on her side when she’s happy or sad. In fact, Kim Ye Won, who plays Na Mi’s best friend Eun Joo, has been friends with Chun Woo Hee for more than 10 years since they met in the movie “Sunny” (2011). 

How did Chun Woo Hee feel about meeting a friend who has been with her from her early 20s to mid-30s again? The actress answered, “We are friends and we know each other well. Since it was my first time acting in the same work with her, I was very excited. There was no scene for all the cast members, including Im Si Wan and senior Hee Won, to meet on the set. That’s why I had so much fun every time I met them”.

Chun Woo Hee said, “Ye Won suits her role so well, and I felt more confident when meeting my friend on the set. Although we filmed most of the scenes comfortably, we communicated and shared our feelings in a different way when it came to emotional scenes”, showing her extraordinary affection for Kim Ye Won.

Revealing that it was the most difficult for her to act in the scene where Na Mi loses trust in people and begins to suspect her beloved friend Eun Joo, Chun Woo Hee confessed, “She’s a friend Na Mi can trust and share everything with, but then Na Mi suspects her due to the words of a third person. I wondered what extreme emotional conflict would Na Mi have and discussed a lot with the director”.

She continued, “The director asked, ‘What do you think when you doubt someone whom you put great trust in?’, but I said, ‘If I were Na Mi, I wouldn’t doubt her!”, adding “When I filmed that scene, I felt complicated and was confused between the emotions of myself and Nami. It was a very hard scene”.

Meanwhile, Netflix’s “Unlocked” was released on February 17th and is drawing attention.
