Choi Ji-woo explained the process of immersing herself in her mother's heart while giving birth to a daughter at a late age.

On the afternoon of the 15th, a press distribution preview of the movie "Sugar" (director Choi Shin-chun) was held at the entrance of Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Actors Choi Ji-woo, Min Jin-woong, Ko Dong-ha and director Choi Shin-chun attended the press conference after the premiere.

Choi Ji-woo said, "When I gave birth at a little late age and looked at the script, I was moved. There was also a cautious part because it was a story of a real person, he said. "Maybe those who raised children will sympathize, but they can't even imagine their parents' hearts when their children are sick. Rather, while filming this work, there was a part where emotions became too immersed. The director refrained (from feeling that way), so I also prepared before the shooting."

Choi Ji-woo said, "Actors try to refine their emotions and immerse themselves when filming, but when I prepared like that, my mother's emotions became too much, so I made small jokes with her husband, Jin-woong and Dong-ha," adding, "As the director said, he also had type 1 diabetes, so I heard a lot of stories and prepared."

Meanwhile, Choi Ji-woo's first return to the screen in three years and the movie "Sugar," which is drawing attention due to its dramatic acting transformation, will be released on January 21.
