As her image from tvN's 'Reply 1994' is still fresh in viewers' minds, actress Go Ara was asked to compare her old character to her new character Soo Sun in SBS's 'You're Surrounded' at the press conference for the show.

She said, "[Soo Sun] has the similar explosive personality as Na Jung in my previous work, but a lot of people are helping me express it in a way that fits Soo Sun.  If you look at it this way in my case, the values, whether they're fundamental inclinations, the person's personality, or the pursued course of action, have similarities.  'Reply 1994's Na Jung and Soo Sun have similar aspects.

I did not think about portraying a different image.  All the same, their process of living differed, so I am focusing on that as well as considering and thinking about Soo Sun's natural environment.

So I think she will be different from Na Jung.  It comes out in the script, too, but the way I portray her in certain situations is different, as well.  One representative example is that Na Jung has a lot of aegyo, but Soo Sun has none.  She is an oblivious character. In those aspects, I think Soo Sun would appear as just Soo Sun [to the viewers instead of Na Jung]."
