"The Chosen: Forbidden Cave" is about a psychiatrist and shaman facing a powerful being while treating a woman. Yoo Sun is the director of an art institution and a mother named Geum-joo.

Yoo Sun earned her nickname 'the horror queen' through various horror flicks. She's recently given birth and her next movie was going to be an important one. She was hesitant about agreeing to star in "The Chosen: Forbidden Cave".

"I recall reading about someone famous saying, 'It might be dangerous being ruled as some king of actor or actress but having your name brought up, isn't that a good thing for an actress?' I agree. I have earned the nicknames 'horror queen' thanks to a few thrillers I've done. I was worried at one point but it's not so bad".

We can see why she got the nicknames. She plays a character that's possessed and her looks were altered a bit but it's not much. Her eyes and aura already give off the extremity in her character. She had to make her possessed character seem as real as possible so she says it was hard but she's just being modest.

"'Possessed' wasn't something I was used to. I had to be possessed and I had to make myself up to play the part. I hadn't experienced this before so it was a big decision I had to make. I had a lot of thought. There's nothing to guide you about being possessed. There's no answer. I communicated a lot with the director. Kim Hwi became by trust".

She also displayed motherly love. She related to that part, but she was also worried. She wondered if that would affect her child emotionally.

"I try not to bring my characters back home but this time I was even more careful. I tried to air myself out and become the mother of my child and of a family from the moment I stepped inside the house".

Yoo Sun also wants to be in melodramas and action movies. She hasn't had many opportunities to try these things yet.

"I would like to try being a detective, a boss of an organization and characters that can only be played in a drama or a movie. I want to try a melodrama".
