In an interview with the media Daily Sports, Kim Dami frankly shared her thoughts on Itaewon Class, popularity, and acting. Q1. Itaewon Class was your first drama. ŌĆ£In the beginning, I was worried about being able to adapt well to the new field. But I got much more comfortable after meeting the director and fellow actors often. The filming started in May last year and ended in March this year. I am still watching clips on my phone cause IŌĆÖm sad itŌĆÖs over.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q2. I heard that the team got along very well. ŌĆ£We all have different personalities, but when we get together, itŌĆÖs amazing. EveryoneŌĆÖs so busy, so we canŌĆÖt hang out that often, but the chat room is still open. No one has left the group chat.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q3. The popularity of the original work must have been burdensome. ŌĆ£When I first met the director, he said, ŌĆśThere is an original work, but I would like to create your own Jo Yi Seo.ŌĆÖ I built up the character, discussing the tone and personality with the director.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q4. Did you always dream of becoming an actor? ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve dreamed of becoming an actor since I was young. I told my parents about my dream when I was in high school and prepared in earnest.ŌĆØ Q5. IŌĆÖm sure your life changed completely after The Witch (The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion). ŌĆ£I think I was lucky. With the film, I won the title of ŌĆśmonster rookie,ŌĆÖ and I was quite surprised. At the time, I had no idea that it was such a big movie.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q6. What is the charm of acting? ŌĆ£I was never interested in anything else, but acting was the first thing I had fun with. When I read the scripts, itŌĆÖs interesting to interpret and express them in my own way. ItŌĆÖs hard, but itŌĆÖs fun. I would love to play various roles.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q7. The popularity of Itaewon Class overseas is unusual. ŌĆ£I see a lot of overseas fans when I see my SNS accounts. I canŌĆÖt read all of them, but some fans would send their supports in Korean, and some fans who canŌĆÖt speak Korean would translate and send their supports to me.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q8. I heard you enjoy American TV series. Do you have any dreams of entering Hollywood? ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve thought of acting in English. If I get a chance, IŌĆÖll do my best. (laughs)ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q9. WhatŌĆÖs your plan for the second half of this year? ŌĆ£I start the filming for the movie Soul Mate in August. The Witch 2 is still under discussion as the schedules havenŌĆÖt been confirmed yet. I would like to work on a new drama, but I think itŌĆÖll be around next year at the earliest.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q10. What kind of actor do you want to be? ŌĆ£I want to be an actor who knows herself well. When I think about it, I donŌĆÖt know much about myself. If I know myself well enough, I think IŌĆÖll be able to act more boldly in various ways.ŌĆØ Source (1, 2, 3)
