Han Ji-min
departs from her
usual sweet and
happy image to
star in a new film
about child abuse
to be released next
week.
In "Miss Baek,"
Han appears with
disheveled hair,
dry lips, pasty skin,
and empty eyes to
portray the pain
and misfortune
experienced by her
character.
It was not easy for her to play the role because
it meant more than changing her looks. She had
to find and bring out sides of herself she may not
have been used to.
"I thought very hard about how to portray this
role well, right down to the smallest detail. I tried
hard to learn about child abuse as much as
possible," Han said.
Since her debut in 2003, Han has usually
played characters with a lovely and sprightly
personality.
“I'm no longer afraid of doing something that's
far from what the public expects from me," she
said. "Some people want to see a certain type of
role from me, and others want to see something
else. If I can't satisfy either side, then perhaps the
right thing to do is to give a good performance in
whatever role I play."
