Actress Jeon So-young revealed the efforts she made for her character in 'Girigo'.

On the 21st, a press conference for Netflix's 'Girigo' was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Director Park Yoon-seo and actors Jeon So-young, Kang Mi-na, Hyun Woo-seok, Lee Hyo-je, and Noh Jae-won attended the event.

Netflix series 'Girigo' tells the story of high school students who are warned of sudden death due to the curse of the wish-granting application 'Girigo' and struggle to escape that curse.

With rising new talents such as Jeon So-young, Kang Mi-na, Baek Seon-ho, Hyun Woo-seok, and Lee Hyo-je making a major appearance in 'Girigo', the energetic performances they showcase through the series are also noteworthy. Emotions such as friendship, first love, envy, and jealousy, which everyone has experienced at least once during their school days, will be mixed with themes of curse, death, and revenge in 'Girigo', amplifying the fun of a complex genre.

Jeon So-young plays 'Se-a', a promising track and field athlete at Seorin High School who investigates the secrets of 'Girigo'. She said, "As a promising national track and field athlete, I had to maintain proper posture like long jump athletes. I trained every day for two months with senior Baek Seon-ho and athlete Kim Guk-young."

She added, "I also gained weight and got a tan. Since the internal aspects of 'Se-a's narrative are important, I worked hard to prepare to express them well."

Director Park Yoon-seo explained Jeon So-young's casting, saying, "Because this is a long-form work, I thought viewers would get tired if it was only dark. In the auditions, we selected actors who showed a bright and energetic demeanor as a basic requirement."
