Actress Kim So-i announced that she has grown significantly through the auditions for the Netflix series 'XO, Kitty' Season 3.

In 'XO, Kitty' Season 3, which was released globally on the 2nd, Kim So-i took on the role of 'Lee Soo,' a world-renowned fashion designer, and made a strong impression. Unlike her sharp exterior, the character Soo possesses human charm, and Kim So-i brought vitality to the drama with her acting that seamlessly blends her unique charisma and comedy.

Kim So-i underwent a long audition process to appear in 'XO, Kitty' Season 3. She stated, "I auditioned from early February to late April. Since the production team is in the United States, we held Zoom meetings every morning at 8 o'clock. After several reading sessions, I was finally cast."

She also commented on the differences between the Korean and American audition systems. Kim So-i said, "Experiencing the 'XO, Kitty' Season 3 audition made me less afraid of future auditions."

She continued, "I suffered from severe anxiety and fear before every audition. Of course, I was nervous even when auditioning in Korea, but this time, I felt crushed by that pressure for about three weeks every week. After enduring that process, I realized my fear of auditions is no longer as great as before."

Kim So-i recalled the filming of 'XO, Kitty' Season 3. She said, "When I first received the script, almost all the lines were in English. However, the revised script contained Korean lines. After some deliberation, I told the director I would mix the lines, and he told me to do whatever felt comfortable, so I changed a lot. I thought about what lines the character would say and acted accordingly, and it was fun."

She also mentioned experiencing an unexpected sense of patriotism. Kim So-i shared, "It's an American drama, but I felt an immense pride in acting in Korean within it. Having passed the time when audiences or viewers found it amazing to see Korean or Hangul in American works, I am now doing it myself, and it feels incredibly rewarding."
