• Interview with Han Sun-hwa in the film 'Student Intern'

Actress Han Sun-hwa shared the behind-the-scenes story of the viral 'Mojamussa' wedding song scene.

On the afternoon of the 6th, Han Sun-hwa held an interview for the film 'Student Intern' (directed by Kim Min-ha) at a café in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, where she shared various stories. 'Student Intern' is a high-school horror-comedy about a passionate MZ student teacher named Eun-kyung who is forced to take a mock exam of death while facing the ghost of the CSAT. Before its release, 'Student Intern' garnered significant attention by sweeping the Best Film and Best Actor awards at the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.

Han Sun-hwa, who has established herself as a 'reliable actress' through various works such as the drama 'Women Who Drink Alone', the film 'Pilot', and 'Sweet 7510', takes on the role of a student teacher in this new project, showcasing a fresh side.

Han Sun-hwa said, "This film was shot last June, and it's being released sooner than expected. I'm grateful for that. Especially since I played the role of a student teacher, and it's being released in May, which is Teacher's Day, it feels even more meaningful and gives me a sense of mission."

She continued, "When I first received the script, it was a format I had never seen before. When I first watched 'Women Who Drink Alone', I was surprised, but this script was even more surprising. I wondered how to bring the lines to life and what tone and manner to adopt, so I had a meeting with the director. When we met, I found her to be very precise. She had clear ideas and a strong personal style in her direction, so I wasn't anxious. Since it was a genre I had never encountered before, it felt fresh, and that sparked my curiosity, leading me to choose this script."

Currently appearing in the JTBC drama 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' (hereinafter 'Mojamussa'), Han Sun-hwa recently became a topic of discussion for a scene where she sings Psy's 'Art Is' as a wedding song in the drama.

Han Sun-hwa explained, "Originally, the song for that scene was not 'Art Is'. The song hadn't been decided yet. I told Senior Koo Gyeon-ho that 'people who read this scene always end up in tears,' and when I read the scene myself, my eyes welled up. I thought I had to film it beautifully, so I pondered what song to use. I discussed it with Senior Koo Gyeon-ho and the director. At first, there were various opinions, such as using a fiery Beyoncé song to match the character, among other suggestions."

She added, "However, since we had to purchase the music, there were budget constraints, so that option wasn't feasible. I also came up with the idea for the Psy song. An instructor was assigned to help me practice, and we rehearsed three times on set before filming. It was difficult to sing after such a long time," she laughed.

Han Sun-hwa also added, "I was so happy that the scene was captured so well."

Meanwhile, 'Student Intern' is scheduled to be released on the 13th.
