• TV Chosun Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Doctor Shin' Interview with Actress Baek Seo-ra, who played the role of Momo

(Continuing from Interview ②)

Actress Baek Seo-ra revealed the reason she chose the path of an actress after her girl group disbanded.

Recently, StarNews conducted an interview with actress Baek Seo-ra of the recently concluded Saturday-Sunday drama 'Doctor Shin' on TV Chosun at the Seoul Jongno-gu office on the 3rd. The drama was written by Lim Seong-han (Phoebe) and directed by Lee Seung-hoon.

'Doctor Shin' is a medical thriller drama about a genius doctor who challenges the realm of the divine and a woman who loses her soul as her brain is ruined overnight. It is the new work by writer Lim Seong-han, presented about three years after her 2023 concluded TV Chosun drama 'Miss Durian'. Baek Seo-ra, who took on the lead role in her first acting challenge, portrayed the top actress Momo in the drama, delivering a one-person multi-role performance.

Baek Seo-ra debuted in the entertainment industry in 2021 as Hyung-shin, a member of the group Hot Issue, after appearing on the Mnet survival variety show 'Captain' in 2020, but the team disbanded after just one year. During the group's approximately one-year activity period, she served as the main dancer.

When asked about the reason for switching from group activities to becoming an actress, Baek Seo-ra replied, "I tended to suppress my emotions due to my personality, and that felt comfortable. I had stopped because I loved acting. Then, as I gave up dancing, I dreamed of being an idol, and when I filmed things like music videos, I felt a sense of fun by acting in my own way."

She stated, "After the group disbanded, I thought it was truly the last time I would try to re-challenge being an idol, but one day I suddenly thought, 'I want to do something new,' and naturally, it flowed into acting. About three years after I started learning acting, I was selected as the lead for 'Doctor Shin'."

She continued, "The more I do acting, the more difficult it becomes, so my passion grows and I become more academically inclined. I want to be an actress for a long time. Since I am not the type to show my emotions, I sometimes feel grateful and amazed that I can act. Right now, it is a very fun and desirable profession." She expressed her desire to act.

When asked what kind of image she wants to meet the public with in the future, she said, "I want to dive into everything. If I had to pick one, I would like to appear in an academy drama. I have heard many people say that a thriller would suit me," and smiled shyly.

Baek Seo-ra concluded by saying, "If you have seen me as an actress with infinite possibilities through 'Doctor Shin', I would be grateful. I hope you will view the process of handling diverse characters favorably."
