Actress Yeom Jeong Ah sat down for an interview with Newsen to talk about her experience with
working with EXO’s D.O (Kyung Soo) on the set of the upcoming movie Cart.
Cart is a movie that revolves around the issue of
temporary working employees at a large supermarket who unfairly get laid off.
The group of workers create a plan to make things right for themselves.
Making
his movie debut, singer D.O starred in the movie Cart with Yeom Jeong Ah. While acting for the movie, the
actress explained how she had many positive experiences while working with D.O.
She
mentioned how D.O’s personality made her look up to him and hope that her seven
year old son would be just like D.O.
“D.O
seemed like he was a very serious person. There isn’t the slightest bit of
lightheartedness in him. He is well behaved to both the public and the staff.
He doesn’t overreact or pretend to be sincere. Since I’ve been acting for a
long time, I can tell when someone is lying. D.O was not. He has a proper and a
friendly personality. That’s why I think he deserves to be loved. I hope my son
will grow to be like D.O.”
Yeom
Jeong Ah mentions how many idols are trying to break the barriers between
singing and acting but are unsuccessful because they are stronger in singing
rather than the latter.
However,
according to the actress, D.O seems to break the stereotype about idol actors.
When she worked with U-Kiss’ Dongho in the drama Royal Family, she did not
feel much during the short time that she worked with him. Her experience was
completely different as she admired D.O for his acting as a rookie.
She
continued, “I didn’t realize until now how
popular EXO is. When I spoke aboutCart it was impossible not to mention D.O’s
name. He was so popular and stories related to him always appeared. Besides
from being a popular kid, D.O had a kind and pleasant personality. I’m not sure
if the agency or parents that taught him to act that way or if he was just born
with it.”
“When
I was filming Cart I am Sun Hee, while D.O was my son, Tae Young.
When I go home of course, I have my real son, but on set it feels that way.
During filming, I came to realize that a mother’s love for her child is the
same in every family. Even though I want my son to grow up to be like D.O, I
didn’t act so that I would be able to find my son within him. On set and at
home are different (laugh).”
Having
watched the movie three times already, Yeom Jeong Ah said that watching it for
the first time at the Busan International Film Festival was hard as
many fans were screaming D.O’s name, making it hard to concentrate.
However,
the second and third time she watched the movie, she found herself in tears.
Cart is set to be released on November 13, 2014.
