[141023 News] Yum Jung Ah Thought EXO Was a Type of Alcohol

Yum Jung Ah shared on acting as EXO D.O’s mother.

Yum Jung Ah attended the media day for the film Cart on October 22 in a restaurant in Gwangjin-gu and shared on acting as idol group EXO D.O’s mother in the movie.

Having acted as ‘Sun Hee,’ who raises two children alone by working as a temporary worker in a supermarket, said, “When I first heard that EXO’s D.O was cast as my son ‘Tae Young,’ I wondered who that was,” adding, “I didn’t know idols very well. So when I heard EXO, I even asked if that was name of the alcohol ‘X/O.’”

Yum Jung Ah shared, “After finding out that Kyung Soo would be acting as my son, I searched for EXO’s Growl music video. When I first met Kyung Soo, I found him to be very affable and respectful. I was surprised because he was so good at acting, even though it was his first time.”

Moon Jung Hee said, “I was a fan of EXO. I also like EXO’s song Growl. I didn’t have opportunity to film with him so I would sometimes see him during group dinner that took place after filming.”

Moon Jung Hee then added, “Every time I met him, Kyung Soo would ask his sunbae actors, including me, many questions about how he could be good at acting and how he should act. It can be a difficult question to bring up even among actors but since it was Kyung Soo’s first time, he asked for advice, wanting to do his best. It was good to see.”

Cart is a movie created based on the current issue of temporary employees. The film is about a group of temporary employees at a large super market, who suddenly get wrongfully fired. The movie stars Yeom Jeong Ah, Moon Jung Hee, Kim Young Ae, Kim Kang Woo, Hwang Jung Min, Chun Woo Hee, Lee Seung Jun, Ji Woo, and D.O. 



The movie premieres November 13.
