• The movie 'Mad Dance Office' Yum Hye-ran interview.

"You have to carry the weight of the crown."

Actress Yeom Hye-ran has returned from a supporting role to a leading role. He showed his strong presence in "The Glory," "Mask Girl," and "Fully Believed," and took on another challenge through the movie "Mad Dance Office."

"Mad Dance Office" is a story about a civil servant who has been living perfectly 24 hours a day, "Kook-hee (Yum Hye-ran)" stepping on a flamenco step in front of a slightly ruined life and finding hope he didn't know.

In this work, Yeom Hye-ran will present the most dynamic transformation in filmography. Kim Kook-hee, who he plays, has dominated the organization with cool perfectionism, but he faces the first crack in his life: omission of promotion and conflict with his daughter.

"It was actually incredibly burdensome," he said of his return to the screen as the lead in "Mad Dance Office." It was a movie that had to be shot with such a small budget that there were many scenes that had to be done in a day. I had to do this in a short time, but there was no episode where I didn't appear," he said. "There was also a burden for the amount of content. I've been trying to understand the scene for a long time, and the arrangement of physical strength was so important. "It was hard to film all day long," he said.

Yeom Hye-ran said she felt the weight and pressure of the lead role. "I thought I shouldn't be eroded every time a heavy burden comes to me, so I decided to do it faithfully as I've been doing so far," he said. "I think I did it with the intention of giving strength and doing each scene as this movie says because the more burdensome it is, the worse the results can come out."

I received a lot of help from supporting actors, he said, "When I was a supporting actor, I think it would have been rewarding enough if one of the leading actors thought of my performance." and mentioned the movie "Citizen Deok-hee" (2024). Yeom Hye-ran said, "There is a comedy element, and the female lead has to lead the play. When I was filming, I thought of Miran a lot. At the time, Miran said, "When I'm a supporting actor, I have to do my best to save one god, and the lead role is to be helped by the supporting actor. I once said, "You have to keep your balance." I once again felt that my sister was a person who played a really difficult role," he confessed.

In particular, Yeom Hye-ran said, "When I got the scenario, I liked movies like this. There was a strong feeling that it would be fun. These days, there are more works of female narratives, and what I have been suggested so far was strong or genre works. There was just a yearning to tell the story of an ordinary woman. "Every woman can't be a killer and an able person," he said.

"At that time, I was offered a 'Mad Dance Office' and filmed it in 2024. "I liked it because it was a story of an ordinary woman," he said. "It was attractive to start with ordinaryness while acting with strength, and it matched well with the story I wanted to tell."

He voiced his pride in trying to find a balance between work and parenting. Yeom Hye-ran said, "I tried to raise (the child) as much as possible, and that part was hard. What I sympathized with through this work was that I also realized that I forced my daughter to do something in my own way, he said. "There is a line that says, 'I was trying to teach you from the standpoint of my life,' and I forced my daughter to wear a mask of advice because I went through trial and error in my life first."

He continued, "I felt like myself in real life in that kind of appearance of 'gukhee'. The daughter is a different person from me, and she is in a different environment, but she couldn't accept it as it is. I sympathized a lot in that regard," he said.

When asked if there has been any change since the filming of the work, Yeom Hye-ran said, "I make a commitment once a day, and I always try to change. But it's three days of determination. It's a process of regretting even if you're angry and making up your mind again. This is especially true for mother and daughter," he added.

Expectations are high for actress Yeom Hye-ran's acting, as she has firmly supported the narrative with a strong presence in various works such as the movie "I Can't Help It", the Netflix series "Fall In," "The Glory" and "Mask Girl."

In response, Yeom Hye-ran said, "I don't know if this expression is correct, but I have to carry the weight of the crown. Being able to be remembered as a character is enormous. "I think it's a case of heaven's help to be in charge of the gwangrye of 'I was completely deceived' and Hyunnam of 'The Glory,'" he said. "You may be disappointed in one work and another acting, but I look forward to being confident and calm even in that case. It's something I have to deal with," he said.

Yeom Hye-ran said, "I have a lot of worries about my next work," adding, "I think I'm going through a period of learning. I don't want to choose a result similar to the work that ended just before. I think there will be other expectations only when I do something different from the intense character, he said. "That's why I think there are more works that I send unfortunately. In the past, I would have done it unconditionally if it was that much in the role, but I'm not confident if it's similar to my previous work. The characters are slightly different, but I'm not confident of expressing them differently. I think I'll see the limit of my acting skills, so I have a work that I feel sorry for."

"I'm grateful that you come to me a lot, but rather, the range (of work choices) narrows. Still, I'm grateful that I can choose," he said. "These days, there are many actors who envy continuing to shoot movies when they are having a hard time together. I feel more responsible because they are hard-wired works on the screen," he added.

Finally, he said of his future plans, "I also saw the strength that I have endured so far in the short term. I came all the way here in my shortsightedness. There are so many good works, but I hope we can make meaningful attempts regardless of the results, he said. "Now I think, 'The results won't be guaranteed,' and I'm also thinking about the number of audiences. It doesn't get pure. Now I'm in a position to think about other things. I hope I can be detached from such things and make meaningful attempts," he stressed.
