- I'm a Bobbi Brown girl at heart, and I'm proud to be its ambassador in Asia!
- Lucca, in Italy, is my favorite vacation spot.
- As I travel around the world, I'm realizing that every place I go influences me in some kind of way.
- When I tell people I'm from South Korea, almost 10 out of 10 say something like, 'Koreans have great skin!' And it's true.
- 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 believe being a true Global Citizen means you have the willingness and openness to step outside of your own boundaries, and I'm honored to represent that with TUMI.
- 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 exercise regularly and try to cook my own food.
- I always make sure I deeply hydrate my face with ampoules or facial masks every four hours when I'm on the road.
- Like the French, Koreans aim for a subtle and effortless look - while actually paying a lot of attention to the details.
- For an everyday look, I prefer natural-looking skin with a healthy glow.
- Nothing makes a girl feel more special than being adorned with some lovely Didier Dubot jewelry for the 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' premiere.
- It was an honor to meet the iconic Stan Lee.
- 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.
- I personally love auditioning. It's not just about that part: it's about getting to meet new people and really introducing myself to them - getting my name out there more than getting just that project.
- 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'm a fan of judo, so I always try to watch competitions like the European championship.
- My friends and I will go out for dinner and drinks, but I don't really go dancing or anything like that.
- Staying home and watching French movies is what I normally like to do.
- 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.
- 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.
- One of my role models is Marion Cotillard.
- 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 an international studies major. I've been a reporter. I was always interested in media, but I just didn't know specifically what.
- I like kind of the rugged bohemian kind of look.
- Some people suggested that I should try something else. It was a lot of things, but nothing really stood out for me. Nothing felt right, and this job as an actor happened by coincidence.
- 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.
- I love Wes Anderson films, which are quirky and funny.
- I got into modeling first, then acting came along pretty soon, and I landed my first role in a Korean drama without education, without any acting experience whatsoever.
- 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.
- Before Hollywood happened to me, I just took a break to think about whether I belong in the industry or whether I should be listening to whatever people were telling me.
- 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.
- Compared to some Asian countries, I think Koreans like to keep a clean, fresh, and lively look: A well-moisturized face, a light, sheer base, natural, colorless eye makeup, and a slight stain of color on the lips.
- Growing up, Karuna Shinsho on CNN was one of my idols, so I wanted to become either an anchorwoman or an international lawyer.
- The first time I saw J.K. Rowling, I was sitting across from her at the 'Fantastic Beasts' table read, and I was just amazed by how wonderful she is in person.
- I try not to use tap water on my face, especially when I'm travelling, to avoid any skin problems. Instead, I'll use bottled water to rinse.
- I like to create a lot of texture in my hair, and I like it a bit messy.
