• Jeongsoon's 役 "My Name" Yum Hye-ran interview

Actress Yeom Hye-ran confessed that she was cautious while filming a movie based on the Jeju 4.3 incident.

On the afternoon of the 14th, Yeom Hye-ran conducted an interview with the movie "My Name" (director Jung Ji-young) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. On this day, Yeom Hye-ran told various stories about her work.

"My Name" is a mystery drama that intersects the trajectory of her mother, Jeong-soon, who faced Jeju's memories in 1949, when she sealed it with her 18-year-old son Young-ok, who wanted to erase her rustic name in the spring of 1998. It is the winning work of the April 3 Film Screening Contest jointly hosted by the Jeju April 3 Peace Foundation and the Jeju Free International City Development Center (JDC), which comprehensively captures the challenges of Jeju 4.3 that have yet to be fully resolved, and further shows the power of national violence, trauma, recovery, and solidarity.

Yeom Hye-ran said, "I briefly met director Jung Ji-young as 'Boys'. After that, I thought I wanted to work together for a longer time, but the director said that he was preparing for this work, so I really wanted to participate. Director Jung Ji-young felt destined to tell this story, he said. "On the one hand, it was a work with a little bit of caution. From the moment I saw the scenario, it was important to see if it was cinematically fun. "I didn't start by weighing down the pain of the past, but because I had a routine, I wanted to do it," he said.

Yeom Hye-ran said, "The director said he wants this film to be a popular movie watched by many people, not an independent film that reveals authorism. In that respect, I was curious about how you would approach it, and I was careful about what kind of work it would be. I heard that this story is difficult for Jeju people to make themselves. One house across from one house was a perpetrator, and the other was a family. He said, "This problem is a sharp and sensitive issue for Jeju people." Yeom Hye-ran said, "I'm not a story maker, I'm a person who embodies and expresses it with my body. So maybe my acting will be given a political hue? "There was a part where I was cautious that it would be consumed like that, even if it was not used or used," he confessed.

Yeom Hye-ran said, "Director Jung Ji-young asked me a lot of opinions while working on the work. The color may be different from that of the director, and we talked a lot about our opinions and said it emotionally, and apologized the next day. But the director always said he enjoys such stories and told me not to apologize," he added.

Meanwhile, My Name will be released on the 15th.
