"I was worried that the dark circles under my eyes were going to show on a big screen"
"Seo-yeon is somewhat sly like a fox too"
Seo-yeon in “Introduction to Architecture” is the class of 1996. Born in 1994, Suzy has never seen a beeper and more used to an mp3 player than a CD player. It was questionable how Suzy, who has never experienced a first crush, understood Seo-yeon’s character in the year she was not even born. “There were many parts where I didn’t understand when I first looked at the scenario. But I also felt that Seo-yeon and I are a lot alike. She’s bright and perky but cuter than I am. I can be a bit inexpressive (laugh). Seo-yeon doesn’t have many friends and I thought that’s one of the big reasons why she was attracted to Seung-min (actor Lee Je-hoon). She’s somewhat sly like a fox, too (laugh). She’s a very attractive character that has a power to make all guys fall in love with her. When I was playing Hye-mi in “Dream High 1,” I just had to say my lines without much focus on the character’s feelings. But this time, the director ordered me to be cuter, saying that I act like a soldier. But I couldn’t try being cute! I tried very hard to look more perky and alive. Because I was not even born during the film’s time-setting, there were some parts I couldn’t empathize with. But I figured that the process of two people meeting together is the same in all generations.
Lee Yong-joo, director of “Introduction to Architecture,” described Suzy as a "submarine.” An actress who was like a submarine that has quietly gone deep, and far, underwater were first nodding to the director’s order, but later, she accomplished more than what he had asked for. Expressing her emotional breakdown on her face when asking Seung-min to “back off,” when he was breaking up with Seo-yeon, such talented acting skill was predictable from her script, filled with Suzy’s hand-written notes. “I wrote questions next to the parts I didn’t understand. I wrote like, ‘Why would Seo-yeon say such at this timing? Why are Seung-min and Seo-yeon heading this way? I’m gonna ask this later.’ I couldn’t play the character without understanding her actions in the movie. I thought it wasn’t going to work by studying the script alone, so I wrote down the questions next to questionable parts in the script.” As a result, she gained a much more serious title than her old one, “Actingdol,” a mix of acting and idol. “Hahahaha, submarine? What is that? Did director Lee really say that? (when a publicist who accompanied her that day tried to spread the rumor) I like that. So I’m a soldier in a submarine, right? Cool!”
