Actress Choi Soo-young returns to the screen with 'OK Madam 2'.

On the 13th, a production report conference for the film 'OK Madam 2' (directed by Lee Cheol-ha) was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Attending the event were director Lee Cheol-ha and actors Jeong-hwa, Park Sung-woong, Lee Sang-yoon, Bae Jung-nam, Park Jin-joo, Ryeo-un, and Choi Soo-young.

'OK Madam 2' is a comedic action film about the family of Mi-young (played by Jeong-hwa), a former legendary agent who embarks on an extravagant cruise trip to escape the heat and her current life, only to get caught up in a blue sea hanbok-themed cruise hijacking incident.

It is the sequel to 'OK Madam' (1.22 million viewers), which captivated audiences with refreshing humor and thrilling action even during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

Choi Soo-young takes on the role of Anya, the leader of a criminal organization that turns the luxury cruise into a nightmare and a captivating villain, expanding her acting spectrum with a powerful presence.

Choi Soo-young explained, "There are many female villain roles, but not enough. When I first received the offer, I was so happy, and I had a strong desire to make it something unconventional. I contributed many ideas for costumes and wanted to bring out Anya's childlike side. While a purely scary and chilling villain is fine, I wanted to create a female villain who possesses both charisma and humor."

Regarding her action showdown with Jeong-hwa, she said, "Actually, this is my first action role. It has been about 20 years since I started my career, so it's significant that this is my first time doing action. Working alongside a senior actress like her adds another layer of meaning."

She added, "Senior Jeong-hwa performs numerous action scenes from start to finish. Watching her gracefully handle such diverse action sequences while I tried to practice with her made me feel almost guilty. She showed immense consideration for me and treated me especially well. Thanks to her care on set, I was able to film comfortably."

Meanwhile, Choi Soo-young announced last month that she had ended her 14-year public relationship with partner Jung Kyung-ho. Representatives from both Choi Soo-young's and Jung Kyung-ho's agencies confirmed the breakup, stating that the two have decided to part ways as lovers but remain good colleagues.
