'Holy Night' Seo Hyun mentioned her ideal type and confessed, "My standards are too high."

On the morning of the 23rd, an interview with Seo Hyun, the leading actress of the movie 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters', was held at a cafe on Samcheong-ro in Jongno, Seoul.

'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' (written and directed by Lim Dae-hee, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Big Punch Pictures and Nova Film) is an occult action work about a city in chaos caused by a group that worships evil, featuring the dark problem solvers of the 'Holy Night' team: Bau (played by Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (played by Seo Hyun), and Kim-gun (played by Lee Da-wit), who are engaged in vanquishing the forces of evil.

From May 2022 with 'The Outlaws 2' (12.69 million), to May 2023 with 'The Outlaws 3' (10.69 million), and April 2024 with 'The Outlaws 4' (11.50 million), Ma Dong-seok has achieved triple ten million viewership, creating a strong box office potential every spring. Noting that he set a record of having six ten million films, Ma Dong-seok participated in planning, production, and leading roles, and is also gaining attention for his first occult action film. Additionally, the delightful team chemistry demonstrated by Ma Dong-seok, Seo Hyun, and Lee Da-wit, along with exciting and refreshing exorcism action as never seen before, is expected to boost box office results, and ahead of its release, it ranked first in real-time ticket reservation rates based on the integrated electronic ticketing system.

Seo Hyun passionately portrayed Sharon, a powerful exorcist capable of detecting and repelling any demon. She appeals with a strikingly different image from what she has shown before, with intense colors in her costumes, hair, makeup, accessories, and even the intricate designs and patterns in her outfits. This is her film debut as an actress.

This year, expectations are high for her continued work, including the movie 'Holy Night' and the new KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama 'The Male Lead’s First Night' set to air in June.

Seo Hyun has been loved for her upright life, exemplary student persona, and calm demeanor, but in the movie, she portrayed a character very different from her existing image.

Regarding acting challenges, she noted, "There are no limits. It's really limit(transfer)less, and it's so fun when I'm acting. It's fun to do things that match my personality, and it's also fun to show different sides of myself."

In response to the question, "Do you usually stay home to avoid incidents and controversies?", she said, "I do go out often. (Laughs) My life as Seo Joo-hyun before being Seo Hyun is important too. Good acting comes from a healthy mentality. I shouldn't let my mind deteriorate, so I go out a lot," adding, "My true self is always happy, and I just need to focus when I act."

She continued, "In the past, I didn't realize it well. I thought, 'My whole life is Girls' Generation.' I had external friends and family, but the most important thing for me is my career, so I lived like a racehorse. I don’t regret my past life, but I realized I also need to take care of myself. I understood that I must take care of my family and friends and live with a broad perspective. In doing so, I became free," adding, "Originally, when I try to do anything well, I tend to develop obsessions. When I only focus on avoiding mistakes and doing my job well, even a small mistake makes me think, 'Why am I like this?' But now when I make a mistake, I tell myself, 'I’m human~ I can just try again next time.' I feel like I have definitely grown. I think I’ve gained this sense of ease because I kept a tight grip on myself back then."

However, Seo Hyun has high standards when it comes to her ideal type. She said, "The conditions for a boyfriend are very high. They're at the top. (Laughs) Even I think they’re high, so I try to maintain an objective perspective," adding, "Men want to meet a version of me like this. (Laughs) I'm confident because I've lived my life well. I want to meet someone who has lived as well as I have."

Meanwhile, 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' will be released on the 30th.
