Park Eun Bin Dishes On Her New Drama “The WONDERfools”

Park Eun Bin recently sat down with Cosmopolitan Korea magazine to discuss her new Netflix series “The WONDERfools.”

“The WONDERfools” is a superhero action comedy set in 1999, a time when apocalyptic beliefs were rampant. It follows a group of neighborhood misfits who unexpectedly gain superpowers and fight against villains threatening the peace of Haeseong City.

In the interview following the shoot, Park Eun Bin shared, “Since I’m someone who is mainly seen through video, I often feel awkward seeing myself in photos. At times like that, I find it easier to approach the shoot by channeling a character. Today, I brought out Chae Ni’s quirky side for the shoot.”

Speaking about Eun Chae Ni, her character in “The WONDERfools,” Park Eun Bin remarked, “In a nutshell, you could describe Chae Ni as a kid who can’t travel because of a heart condition, but I ultimately thought that these characters possess qualities that can represent many different people.”

Revealing her affection for the drama, she continued, “I loved the message that these characters aren’t nobodies—they simply haven’t accomplished anything yet, but they are still people living meaningful lives in their own ways. Even if not many people recognize that they saved the world, the fact that they accomplished it themselves, and that they acknowledge one another for it, was a great comfort to me.”

Actress Park Eun Bin, who has courageously challenged herself with a wide variety of roles, commented, “When I was younger, change felt unstable to me, but now I think you can only move forward if you change. I believe that as we change, our gears gradually align with one another. Playing a variety of characters has now become something enjoyable because I discover sides of myself I never knew existed. Thankfully, the projects I personally felt drawn to up until now have also been loved by viewers and fans. I’m grateful that the path I believed was right turned out to be one that others recognized as well.”

When asked what “The WONDERfools” and Eun Chae Ni mean to her, she replied, “I think people who loved Song Ji Won from the drama ‘Age of Youth‘ will also love this character. Of course, the story and genre are different, but there are similarities between the two. I hope Chae Ni can fill the longing people may still have for Ji Won.”

Cha Hak Yeon And Kim Hyang Gi Talk About Their Drama “Absolute Value Of Romance,” Similarities To Their Characters, And More

The two leads of “Absolute Value of Romance” recently participated in a photo shoot with the fashion magazine Cosmopolitan Korea!

“Absolute Value of Romance” is a drama about high school student Yeo Ui Ju (Kim Hyang Gi), who writes romance novels featuring handsome teachers as the main characters. She encounters the teachers—Ga Woo Su (Cha Hak Yeon), Noh Da Ju (Kim Jae Hyun), Jung Gi Jeon (Sohn Jeong Hyuck), Yoon Dong Ju (Kim Dong Gyu)—in real life in unexpected moments and becomes the central figure in a turbulent school life.

Talking about the drama, Cha Hak Yeon said, “It’s a series where the characters’ youth and growth are clearly portrayed. Watching Woo Su grow because of Eui Ju was something I could genuinely relate to, and when filming the final class scene, I actually felt very emotional.”

Kim Hyang Gi shared, “It’s a project that delivers its message in a simple and natural way. So when you watch it, you’ll be able to relate to it and find it funny.”Cha Hak Yeon And Kim Hyang Gi Talk About Their Drama “Absolute Value Of Romance,” Similarities To Their Characters, And More插图

On how similar they are to their characters, Cha Hak Yeon said, “When I first met Woo Su, I thought we had nothing in common. His personality and way of speaking are very cold. But if there is one similarity, it’s that we both have strong ‘T’ (“Thinking” personality in MBTI) tendencies. Other than that, we’re quite different, so getting to know Woo Su was actually interesting.”

Kim Hyang Gi added, “Our similarity is having a passionate love for something and the desire to achieve a dream. Just like Eui Ju works toward her dream of becoming a writer, I was deeply immersed in acting during my school years, and that period lasted quite a long time. I tried to draw from that experience.”

They also talked about their most memorable scenes. Kim Hyang Gi said, “There’s a scene early on where the teachers are introduced for the first time. When news spreads that young, handsome male teachers have been assigned to the school, the students all rush into the staff room—that scene really captures the overall atmosphere of our series, so it left a strong impression on me.”Cha Hak Yeon And Kim Hyang Gi Talk About Their Drama “Absolute Value Of Romance,” Similarities To Their Characters, And More插图1

Cha Hak Yeon shared, “In the drama, Woo Su is a completely guarded and perfectionist teacher. He builds his own walls and doesn’t let anyone inside. But there’s a scene where this almost perfect character completely breaks down. He faints over something as trivial as pigeon droppings. At the time, I was lying there with my eyes closed, and Hyang Gi’s acting was so lively and expressive. Eventually, I reached the point where just hearing her breathing would make me burst out laughing. I think we had to reshoot that scene more than 10 times.”Cha Hak Yeon And Kim Hyang Gi Talk About Their Drama “Absolute Value Of Romance,” Similarities To Their Characters, And More插图2

“Absolute Value of Romance” airs every Friday at 8 p.m. KST on Coupang Play. Cha Hak Yeon and Kim Hyang Gi’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the May issue of Cosmopolitan Korea.
