Jeon Jong-seo on Her Friendship with Han So-hee: “We’re Growing Closer After She Reached Out First”

In a recent feature for Harper’s Bazaar Korea, Jeon Jong-seo graced the cover of the magazine’s March issue and reflected on the past year, during which she took on bold new challenges with “Wedding Impossible” and “Queen Woo.” She shared, “I chose these projects with great anticipation, but the outcome is never guaranteed. Still, I learned a lot – about my strengths, weaknesses, and what I need to improve.” Now, she focuses on the present, saying, “Simply having a healthy and fulfilling day is what truly matters.”

Her upcoming film, “Project Y (tentative title),” is a milestone in Korean cinema, as she noted, “There hasn’t been a Korean film led by two actresses of the same age before.” Though not a typical action movie, she revealed, “I’ve used my body more in this film than in any other project I’ve done.”

She also opened up about her evolving friendship with Han So-hee, stating, “I’m really grateful because So-hee was the one who approached me first… We’re still getting closer.” She emphasized their dedication, adding, “We want to capture every possible facet of these two female characters, and that means pushing ourselves to the limit.”

Set in Seoul’s Gangnam district, “Project Y” follows two childhood friends attempting an 8-billion-won gold heist before disappearing. With plans for a series release, the film promises gripping drama and an electrifying on-screen partnership between Jeon Jong-seo and Han So-hee.
