Exploring the Character of Song Ha Kyung
Choi Sung Eun recently shared insights into her character, Song Ha Kyung, from the highly anticipated drama ‘Last Summer.’ This romance series depicts the journey of two childhood friends unearthing the long-hidden truths about their first love, effectively encapsulated as a Pandora’s box waiting to be opened.
Choi Sung Eun’s Take on Her Role
In her reflections on why she chose to take part in ‘Last Summer,’ Choi noted, “The warm, down-to-earth story and the relationships within it really drew me in.” She elaborated that Song Ha Kyung represents a side of herself yet to be seen by viewers. Describing her character, Choi stated, “Ha Kyung is someone who finds it harder to be affectionate the more she cares for someone. She’s confident and full of drive for life, often succeeding in her endeavors.” These characteristics make her portrayal resonate with authenticity.
Three Keywords That Define Song Ha Kyung
When asked to summarize Ha Kyung’s essence, Choi Sung Eun selected three keywords: “chestnut burr,” “green,” and “tree.” She explained, “Ha Kyung is like a chestnut burr—sharp and spiky on the outside, yet harboring something firm and meaningful inside. She embodies the color green, representing boundless energy, while resembling a tree, which stands quietly, sometimes appearing lonely, yet longs to give so much to those around her.” This intricate metaphor paints a vivid picture of the character’s complexity.
As excitement builds for ‘Last Summer,’ Choi hopes that viewers will find warmth in the series amidst the winter chill. The drama is set to premiere on November 1 at 9:20 p.m. KST, promising to be a narrative that encapsulates the essence of summer, akin to the sweet arrival of figs.
