When I found out that I'm playing Nagini, I thought it was meaningful because it's an important character in the 'Harry Potter' series. 'Harry Potter' is a franchise film with many Caucasian actors, so I thought many Korean viewers would be happy.
Nagini should be played by an Asian. Scriptwriter J.K. Rowling probably searched for an Asian actress because she researched the origin of Nagini.
I did 'The Avengers.' 'Marco Polo' happened at the same time for me. So working that schedule out was a bit of an issue, but I was fortunate enough to make both things work.
Nothing makes a girl feel more special than being adorned with some lovely Didier Dubot jewelry for the 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' premiere.
I'm not sure if it's just my pride, but I think I was able to bring out a different vibe as a Korean in Hollywood where there are many Korean Americans.
I'm a fan of judo, so I always try to watch competitions like the European championship.
One of my role models is Marion Cotillard.
My friends and I will go out for dinner and drinks, but I don't really go dancing or anything like that.
I moved to New Jersey when I was five, and I lived there for about six years. My dad was allocated to the New York branch of his company. Looking back, I'm so grateful because I got to learn both English and Korean at the same time, and it was just so natural for me, and it made it so much easier to study English afterwards.
I always have to prepare myself emotionally to go to a party. It's a little overwhelming for me, but it's a great place to meet people.
Staying home and watching French movies is what I normally like to do.
Not all the roles that I've gotten were stereotypical, but in Korea, especially for TV, it's a bit limited for women in their twenties and thirties. There aren't enough female roles.
Diversity has definitely been increasing, but still we have the issue of inclusion, and that is why I am so grateful about playing the role of Nagini in the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise.
I'm just going to continue to think about what kind of films I want to do and what's out there for me to audition for, and I love trying.
I love Wes Anderson films, which are quirky and funny.
The entertainment industry is not always easy. I really needed to decide I can do this, and I will do this for the rest of my life.
I'm an international studies major. I've been a reporter. I was always interested in media, but I just didn't know specifically what.
