Choi Hee-seo appeared on the SBS Power FM "Park Sun-yeong's Cine-town" and was asked how she landed a role in "DongJu, The Portrait of A Poet". She answered, "I was reading a script in the subway when the writer of "DongJu, The Portrait of A Poet" sat across from me".

"She saw me practicing and thought I was funny and decided to give me a name card. I had also put down on my resume that I spoke Japanese well so that would have had some influence, too".

Meanwhile, Choi Hee-seo was awarded the Best Rookie and Grand Prize at the 54th Daejong Film Awards on the 25th.

For her speech she said, "I don't know if I will be able to continue impressing everyone with good performance, but I will try my best at all times".
