ŌĆ£I was so busy in France and I couldnŌĆÖt even tell if I was at the Cannes or not. And itŌĆÖs still the same,ŌĆØ IU shared. ŌĆ£Most of all, it was just amazing that Song Kang Ho won Best Actor. I had goosebumps. Seeing him go on the stage and sharing his acceptance speech; it was like a scene from a movie.ŌĆØ After the world premiere, IUŌĆÖs performance received rave reviews, enough for some to expect her to win Best Actress. ŌĆ£I was grateful for all the kind reviews, but I had no disappointment (in not winning the award),ŌĆØ she laughed. ŌĆ£I couldnŌĆÖt believe all the praises I received after the movie was released. I thought people were just being kind to me. But I translated some overseas reviews, and I finally realized it. It was surprising that there were people who were impressed with my acting. ŌĆśIs this the power of director Kore-eda?ŌĆÖ I thought. Anyhow, it felt good.ŌĆØ The most difficult scene to shoot was the opening scene where she left her baby in the church baby box on a rainy day. ŌĆ£Rather than giving us detailed instructions, he just trusted the actors to go with the flow,ŌĆØ she mentioned as she talked about Hirokazu Kore-edaŌĆÖs style. She then recalled, ŌĆ£But I filmed that first scene all night long in heavy rain. It was so cold and physically challenging. But after watching the movie, I thought, ŌĆśIt looked really nice.ŌĆÖ I was satisfied. Everyone worked really hard.ŌĆØ In Broker, you can also see IU swearing. ŌĆ£I practiced cussing in front of my mom and dad. TheyŌĆÖre the most objective audience.ŌĆØ She then added how she asked them to say if anything felt awkward as she practiced. At the Broker premiere and the closing ceremony red carpet, Song Kang Ho was spotted stepping on IUŌĆÖs dress, giving a big laugh. ŌĆ£I heard that the pictures look nicer with long dresses,ŌĆØ IU said. ŌĆ£So I hugged my dress around because it could get in the way of other people. The pictures looked nice and I was satisfied, but if I ever get a chance to walk down the red carpet again, IŌĆÖm going to wear a short dress.ŌĆØ And about the time Song Kang Ho stepped on her dress, she commented, ŌĆ£The photos looked hilarious.ŌĆØ Source (1, 2)
