Actor Lee Seon-bin shared his thoughts on the ending of ‘The Drunk Woman’. With two strong character friends and unstoppable profanity in life, he made a strong impression with a tearful friendship, and showed an unconventional acting transformation, revealing his confidence with a reason.
Lee Sun-bin at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul on the afternoon of the 30th Teabing’s original ‘Drunk City Women’ (played by Wi So-young, directed by Kim Jeong-sik / hereinafter ‘drunk woman’) shared various stories along with their impressions of appearing.
‘Drunk City Women’ is based on a webtoon by Mikan, and depicts the daily lives of three women whose belief in life is one drink at the end of the day. In the play, Lee Seon-bin is receiving a lot of attention as the character of ‘Ahn So-hee’, an entertainment writer with a bubbly charm.
On this day, Lee Sun-bin said, “I never imagined that it would feel so explosively like this,” about the ‘drunk girl’, which is getting a hot reaction. He said, “It’s not like the ratings are being counted, and it’s the first time I’ve done OTT.
Lee Sun-bin’s ‘confidence’ is the strength of ‘OTT’. He said, “I thought that there would be a point that people who saw it would sympathize with, and that is one of the strengths of OTT, but I had a sense of self-confidence that it could be refreshing in that you can freely use parts such as swearing.” There are ambassadors related to , PPL, but there was not a single ‘drunk woman’ like that.”
Above all, Lee Sun-bin emphasized the power of ambassadors. He said, “Isn’t the ambassador’s power a lot?” “The thing that we cannot ignore the most is the freedom of the ambassador. Because of that, I think the synergy exploded.”

Lee Sun-bin appears as three friends in the play along with Han Seon-hwa and Jung Eun-ji. In addition to the power of the script, the chemistry between the three actresses cannot be ignored. Lee Seon-bin said, “As soon as I read the script, I thought that if the actresses who appeared together did not unite as real people, I would die too.
He said, “In the first script reading, the three of us’s tone, expression, and eyes matched well from the beginning. He said, “I thought it would be awkward, but I didn’t realize the time was passing and we chatted for hours,” he said.
He continued, “Being one and getting to know each other, they made it a natural for us to take care of each other even at the scene where we had to spit out lines. I was so happy and moved when I saw them doing each other’s characters while being greedy for each other’s characters.”
The ‘Womans’ genre is a genre that Lee Sun-bin wanted to try. He said, “I always ask about my next project when I do an interview after a work is finished, and the one thing I consistently talked about each time was ‘a work that smells like a human’. Because a lot of men have done it in the past.”
Is that why? When ‘The Drunk Girl’ came to Lee Seon-bin, I was very worried. He said, “I really wanted to do it, but I never did it, so I was afraid that I would make mistakes, misunderstand, or not be careful among the actors. I think it was the only way I could let go of my worries.”
He said, “The director also looked at me at the beginning and said, ‘Because I’m the youngest, I want everyone to be close with the unnies. I’m worried that you guys won’t fit in.'” He said, “The director gave up in the middle of filming. ‘I became more friendly than I wanted. He said, ‘I don’t know why I was worried,’” he laughed.

Lee Seon-bin also said that he achieved an unfulfilled dream in ‘The Drunk Woman’. Recalling the scene of three friends going to a dance contest, he said, “I remembered too much when I was a trainee” and “I felt like an unfulfilled dream of dressing up like an idol and filming,” he said happily. She continued, “Isn’t Secret Seonhwa unnie on the left and Apink’s Eunji unnie on the right? Where are the thousands and thousands of horses like this?” he said, “I realized my dream that I could not achieve in the future with vicarious satisfaction.”
Lee Seon-bin, who played the role of an entertainment writer in the play, has a friend who is a real writer. He said, “Before filming this drama, my real friend worked as a writer for several years.” He said, “I bought him food on his birthday, and he brought a laptop and worked at a restaurant.” said he could do it.
He continued, “Our drama writer was a real entertainment writer, so he did a really good job of verifying reality.
