[All] Kim Hong-eun: "'She's Madness' is very precious... I hope it leaves a strong impression." [Q&A]

Q. How do you feel about successfully completing the 19th 'Sheer Madness'?

A. At first, six months felt like a long time, but looking back, time really flew by. I'm sad and disappointed that it's ending, but I also feel relieved.

Q. What does the play 'Sheer Madness' mean to actor Kim Hong-eun?

A. It's a very meaningful and precious project for me to have met such wonderful directors and actors and worked with them. In particular, while working on "Sheer Madness," I learned a lot of acting advice and insight from Director Seo Sung-jong. I'm always grateful.

Q. Is there an episode that you remember the most while acting?

A. I'd say my most memorable moment was the day when the audience really saw the character I played, Jang Mi-sook. There was a day when I was satisfied with my performance, and after the performance, an audience member came up to me in tears, saying how heartbreaking and deeply moved she was. Thinking that the audience felt what I felt made me feel proud and inspired me to work even harder.

I always try to portray actress Kim Hong-eun's character, Jang Mi-sook, but I get frustrated when things don't go as planned. That's why I remember the moments when my performance truly resonated with the audience.

Q. Are there any memorable words from fans and audiences while performing in the play?

A. I'm glad and remember the comments saying that the ending monologue was refreshing, unlike any other Jang Mi-sook I've seen before. I'm proud that I was able to reach so many people with my uniquely colored Jang Mi-sook.

Q. How do you hope audiences will remember the character Jang Mi-sook, played by Kim Hong-eun?

A. I hope that when people think of the character Jang Mi-sook in "She's Mad," they think of me first. I hope to leave a strong impression on the audience.

Q. This is a work where rapport with the audience is important. What would you like to say to the audience who stayed with you until the end?

A. Thank you for your love and interest in the 19th performance of "Sheer Madness." Thanks to the audience, we were able to conclude the show with such joy. We will strive to return with a great production soon. Please look forward to our future endeavors.
