Based on Lee Min-jin’s novel of the same name, “Pachinko” is a drama that begins with forbidden love and deals with the chronicles of war and peace, love and separation, victory and judgment between Korea, Japan, and the U.S. Kim Min-ha played the teenage version of Sun Ja, a strong woman who was unyielding to all odds.

Through many overseas interviews, she became a hot topic by showing her fluent English speaking skills which are as good as native speakers. Kim Min-ha, who has been studying English under her mother’s guidance, said, “It was so hard when I was young. I cried every day because I didn’t want to study. My personality is timid, so even if I wanted to skip classes, I could only go to the bathroom. I cried in the bathroom while memorizing the vocabularies,” she said with laughter.

She also said that she studied history by listening to online lectures. She explained, “I had to act, but I was nervous because I didn’t know anything. I learned about historical events that took place at that time through online lectures and books.”

Regarding her senior, actress Youn Yuh-jung who played old Sun-ja in the drama, Kim Min-ha said, “I rarely saw her on the set, but I met her at the global premiere after filming. I really appreciate her for her kind words.” About the first impression of her co-star Lee Min-ho, who took on the role of Han-su, she shared, “I felt overwhelmed. He was amazing. He comfortably talked about personal things and even asked me what I thought. He comfortably told me ‘Do whatever you want to do’ on the set. I also want to thank him for that.”

She also revealed the story behind “Pachinko”’s opening sequence. When asked by DJ Park Ha-sun, “Did they make you dance with music on?” Kim Min-ha recalled, “At first, they kept playing ‘Tiger Is Coming’. Later, I asked if they could change the song. I had to dance for 2 hours. I was just randomly dancing.”
