A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Two-and-a-half years ago, Park Gyuyoung landed her first television lead role in Dali & Cocky Prince, a romantic comedy that saw Park playing Kim Dali, the daughter of a wealthy family who tries to rescue a collapsing art museum. From there, it hasn't taken long at all for the South Korean actress to fully find her footing as a leading lady last year, she starred in Netflix hit, Celebrity, and season two of the acclaimed post-apocalyptic web series, Sweet Home. And soon after she graced Sabato De Sarno's debut Gucci show in Milan, the house tapped on the rising star as its global brand ambassador. Things are only looking up and up for Park this year she's slated to star in season two of the cultural phenomenon that is Squid Game.

One series that you were recently busy with is Sweet Home, which saw season two coming out in December. Could you describe your experience working on season two, and what being in seasons one and two means to you?

Since season one, I poured my heart into the portrayal of Yoon Ji-su, and I'd been involved with her for a while, so season two truly felt like a proper send-off for her. To date, she's the one character that had the longest reign in my heart among my acting roles.
