miss A's Min recently sat down with Movie Week for an interview on her upcoming acting debut with 'Countdown'.� Shedding her cutesy image, she stood before the camera with a mature look that showed her determination to undergo whatever image changes necessary to fulfill her role. She began, "I'm really an honest person.� I'm not afraid of showing my true self to people.� I've never once thought of having to act a certain way just because I'm an idol.� I just want to break the stereotype that people have of us." Check out her interview below! -- Q. "'Countdown' will be your first time acting." Min: "The only acting lessons I've had was when I was little and had to audition for children's TV programs while in the States.� When they told me to act, I thought it was just that - acting.� I realized soon after, though, that it was understanding your character and feeling the situation with your character's heart." Q. "How did you come to understand your character 'Hyunji'?" Min: "Hyunji's mother abandons her after giving brith to her at the age of 17.� After being adopted to another home, she lives an average life and begins working part time at the age of 17.� Then suddenly, her mother, 'Hayeon', comes to see her.� I wondered to myself whether Hyunji would feel both hate and love after seeing her birth mother, especially since she must've missed her but wasn't able to see her.� That and the fact that she was thrown away would make her hate her." Q. "You worked with the 'Queen of the Cannes Film Festival', actress Jun Do Yeon." Min: I wasn't able to sleep the night before at the thought of being able to act with her.� My heart was beating, but once I actually got to the set, I felt more at ease.� I was in the waiting room when Jun Do Yeon senior stared into my eyes.� I wondered what I should do and was a bit intimidated but still met her gaze.� I didn't know it was so hard to stare into someone's eyes.� At that moment, I felt like I was staring at Hayeon, and naturally, I began to feel, 'Wow, so this must be what Hyunji feels.'" Q. "Don't you sometimes lose yourself while living the life flashy life of an idol?" Min: "You're talking about stars that start to believe the image they're portrayed as in the public is actually their true selves, right?� I try not to end up like that by always reminding myself of who I am and where I'm from.� I don't want to lose myself.� I still don't know who I am.� I'm still young and have so much more to learn.� For now, I just want to focus on who Lee Min Young will become and just gain experience in a little bit of everything." She continued, "We're always being judged by the public.� Because of that, I don't judge the people around me.� I think you begin to lose yourself once you're sucked into the standards and rules set by others.� I'm just true to myself."
