[Interview②] 'Human Class' Park Ju-hyun "Signed with Agency through Director Kim Jin-min's Introduction"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actress Park Juhyun spoke about the process of joining 'Human Class'.

On the afternoon of the 8th, Park Juhyun shared various stories about the Netflix original series 'Human Class' during a video interview.

'Human Class' is a controversial work depicting high school students who choose the path of crime without guilt to make money and pay an irreparable harsh price as a result. Park Juhyun made her leading role debut as Gyuri, Jisoo's dangerous business partner in the drama.

Directed by Kim Jinmin, who also directed 'Lawless Lawyer' and 'Time Between Dog and Wolf,' and written by rookie writer Jin Hanse, the series was recently released on Netflix in over 190 countries.

Recalling the audition for 'Human Class,' Park Juhyun said, "I auditioned without even knowing what the work was about. I sent an acting video and was contacted a month later. When I went, they immediately gave me the script. They said I was 'the type to trust myself and act.' They gave me many instructions, and I responded right away, which the director liked." She added, "I never imagined I would be cast as the lead."

Regarding comments that she reminded people of Kang Sora and Shim Eunha, Park Juhyun said, "I am grateful to be mentioned alongside seniors I respect," and added, "As a junior, I want to work harder and grow well."

Park Juhyun, who met her agency through 'Human Class,' said, "At the time of the audition, my contract with my previous agency had expired. After being cast as Gyuri, I thought it would be tough to film alone, so I hurriedly met with several companies. I had great confidence in the current agency's CEO and signed a contract." She also mentioned, "Director Kim Jinmin introduced our company to me."

There has been a response that Gyuri's down-to-earth charm and her interactions with various friends were realistically portrayed in the early part of the drama. Park Juhyun said, "I was popular among classmates during my school days. I liked sports and was active in club activities. It was enjoyable." She added, "My personality is also easygoing, and I have many male friends. The difference from Gyuri is that I laugh a lot and am more sensitive."

Furthermore, Park Juhyun expressed, "I like physical activities, so I want to challenge myself in action genres," and shared her aspiration, "I want to be an actress whose characters are attractive and whose acting is praised."
