Chang-wook, Hye-sun about Indian films
Chang-wook said that he has been curious about India. The actor added that he is a huge fan of Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots as well as SS Rajamouli’s RRR. “I’ve been moved by Indian movies like Black, My Name is Khan, and 3 Idiots. Although I’ve never been to India, I like curry and tandoori chicken. If I ever visit India, I’d love to get a taste of real Indian curry,” said Hye-sun.
Hye-sun on K-pop, K-dramas
She also said, “Thinking back over my career, K-pop, K-dramas, etc are way more popular now. Since both the audience and the market for K-dramas have expanded globally, I think the scope of viewing and thinking about the themes have also expanded.
