Moon So Ri Talks About How Park Hyung Sik Made A Surprising First Impression On Her

Apr 24, 2019

April 24, Moon So Ri and Park Hyung Sik, stars of the upcoming film “Juror 8,” appeared on SBS Power FM’s “2 O’Clock Escape Cultwo Show.”

On the radio show, Moon So Ri talked about her surprising first impression of Park Hyung Sik: “From the first day of filming, he called me noona (what a male would call an older sister or older female friend). He’s the first to ever call me that. But I was really thankful. These days, younger actors are too intimidated by me. When he called me noona, I was so glad and thankful.”

Park Hyung Sik explained his state of mind that day saying that one of the scenes were requiring a lot of takes, so he was mentally scattered. “So, without even knowing, I said, ‘Noona, help me.’ After that, it felt like it’d be weird to belatedly call her sunbaenim (used to address someone who has spent more time in an institution or industry), so I kept calling her noona.”

Park Hyung Sik also talked about shooting “Juror 8,” which is his first film. He said, “I wanted to do really well, so I got really nervous. [Moon So Ri] helped me a lot. I was so nervous and constantly tensed up.”

Sharing a story from behind the scenes, Park Hyung Sik said, “There was a prank that the other actors pulled on me, and I thought it was real. So I started to be really cautious around them.”

Moon So Ri revealed that they planned the prank for a month. “The director even cried,” she said. “Yoon Kyung Ho would complain and whine saying he wanted to redo a scene, and Jo Han Chul would say, ‘Are you the only actor here?’ and start a fight with him.”

Park Hyung Sik said, “I got scared and started to break out into a cold sweat.”

“Juror 8” premieres on May 15.
