Actress Bae Kang-hee spoke about what led her to transition from modeling to acting and the changes she has experienced since the Netflix series 'The Glory.'

On the 2nd, we met with actress Bae Kang-hee at a cafe on Samcheong-ro in Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss the film 'Final Interview' (directed by Kim Jung-hoon).

'Final Interview' is a work depicting six candidates who gather for a final interview and discover mysterious envelopes containing each other's exposés, leading them to suspect one another and fall into confusion.

In the film, Bae Kang-hee plays 'Cha Ju-won,' a perfectionist with an impeccable resume, radiating a chilling and enigmatic atmosphere while leaving a strong impression of her presence.

Bae Kang-hee, who caught the public's eye as young Lee Sa-ra in the Netflix series 'The Glory,' revealed a special affection for the work. She stated, "'The Glory' is truly a work I am grateful for. The actors I filmed with at the time were my peers, so we still keep in touch and remain close friends."

Bae Kang-hee, who was imprinted on the public's mind with a strong image through 'The Glory,' expressed her desire to show a new side of herself through this work. She said, "While I am known for my strong image, I want to approach the public in a slightly more friendly way through this film," adding, "It would be wonderful if you became curious about the various sides of the actress Bae Kang-hee and looked forward to what kind of acting I will show next."

Bae Kang-hee also revealed the special reason that led her to start acting. She recalled, "There was a period of about two years when I did nothing but stay at home. During that time, I watched about six movies a day and lived immersed in films all day long."

She continued, "At the time, there was a thirst inside me that could not be filled by anything, but I realized that watching movies allowed me to relieve those feelings. Movies helped me stand back up and gave me hope," sharing, "As a result, I began to think that someday I would like to see myself on the screen."

Before debuting as an actress, Bae Kang-hee worked as a model. She explained, "I majored in design in college and worked as a model for about three years after graduation," adding, "Even while working as a model, I think I wanted to feel that my inner self was being filled a little more."

After challenging herself to acting, Bae Kang-hee took her first step as an actress by appearing in a small role in the tvN drama 'Alchemy of Souls' and became known to the public through 'The Glory.'

Regarding her growth as an actress, she said, "Because I did not major in acting, I had to learn by constantly experimenting and facing challenges. I was scolded a lot and went through periods of self-study," adding, "Although it has not been released yet, through the work 'Cheerful Bullying,' I learned how to act enjoyably."

She added, "Since starting acting, I have gained experience in various settings and seem to be finding my own way."
