Actress Yeom Hye-ran has opened up about her initial apprehension when she first worked with acclaimed director Park Chan-wook.

In a video uploaded on the YouTube channel 'TteunTteun' on the 20th, titled 'The God of Acting is an Excuse,' stars Lee Byung-hun, Lee Sung-min, and Yeom Hye-ran, who appeared in the film 'Unpredictable,' shared their experiences.

Yeom Hye-ran confessed, "Hearing so many legendary rumors in the film industry, I was intimidated from the start." She recalled, "Those who had worked with him before warned me to 'manage my stamina well,' 'take care of my mental health,' and that 'one could lose their mind during filming.'"

"So, before shooting began, I visited senior actor Lee Byung-hun's set frequently," she continued, "to observe the director's instructions and figure out when I needed to be most alert. I was essentially scouting the environment."

Lee Byung-hun confirmed, "She really came over a lot even when we weren't filming," to which Yeom Hye-ran replied, "I was just so worried." Lee Sung-min, also present, humorously added, "It was my first time working with Director Park Chan-wook too, but I just went along without knowing anything, just by observing," drawing laughter from the group.

Yeom Hye-ran has recently garnered significant attention for her impactful performances in the dramas 'Gyeongseong Creature' and 'The Glory.' She honed her acting skills extensively on the theater stage before transitioning to screen roles, consistently bringing diverse characters to life with her unique portrayal. Her collaboration with director Park Chan-wook in 'Unpredictable' marks a highly anticipated new chapter in her career.
