2ne1 aint the only hood bitches on OMNTD today

Singer and actor Uhm Jung Hwa (38) has come back with the movie ‘Insadong Scandal.’ The movie handles a con game over large amounts of money. Uhm Jung Hwa has the role of Bae Tae Jin, a speculated character in the art world.

Bae Tae Jin is a fierce woman, who will throw away anything for money, power, and passion, and is a cold character who isn’t shaken by her emotions. She looks only at money and does all these brutal things, and doesn’t even bat an eye at it.

The Challenge of Playing a Villain, it was Difficult in the Beginning

All the while, Uhm Jung Hwa received much love for playing roles in cute, lovable, romantic comedic movies or dramas. The drama “Butcher Oh Soo Jung,” movies “Seducing Mr. Perfect,” and “Are you living with the person you love?” were like that. The first try of being a villain must have been scary.

She said, “At first, I was scared. My image to a lot of people is sexy, or cute, or frivolous, so I thought I might get the feel of estrangement. However, after I started putting on makeup and saying my lines to the feel of Bae Tae Jin, that kind of fright disappeared. I think I really enjoyed a few scenes. To yell, and to glare and scowl fiercely to the point that men would flinch, was extremely enjoyable.”

“It was my first time expressing such anger like Bae Tae Jin, and the expression of anger wholly in the movie, I really liked yelling like I was a crazy psycho. It was acting I had never done before, and I didn’t have that quality before, so I did my work more pleasantly.”

I am So Happy that I Can Go on a Vacation as a Singer After My Acting is Over

Uhm Jung Hwa received much love for her ‘D.I.S.C.O’ album released last summer. Uhm Jung Hwa has been steadily releasing albums in her own unique, individual style, and at the same time, steadily shooting dramas and movies. This year, after the opening of movies ‘Insadong Scandal’ and ‘HaeUnDae (Marines),’ she is due to shoot the drama ‘Man Who Can’t Get Married.’ She is showing the passion to do projects all year round without getting tired.

“First, working is so fun. When I am working, I am very happy. When I’m acting, I concentrate on acting from the viewpoint of an actress, and after acting, it’s so joyous that I can go on a vacation as a singer. I’m very thankful for the fact that my fans are waiting for my album. I enjoy promoting myself as a singer. Just because acting has become my first priority, doesn’t mean that I have to throw away my singing. Singing is an area that my devotion really goes into, and if you look at it in a certain way, it’s also my history.”

I Take Care of my Health and Beauty with Pilates and Half-Body Baths

We were curious as to how Uhm Jung Hwa maintains her healthy beauty for a long time, and what her health maintaining secret is.

“I steadily take care of my skin and I exercise steadily, too. In the past, I did health (Not sure what that is, it could be referring to health clubs?) but currently, I’m doing Pilates. I love Pilates. Also, it’s good if you do half-body baths everyday, but I make sure to do it every other day. I started it because Kim Jeong Tae, who filmed together with me, recommended it, but I saw a lot of improvement. If I wake up early in the morning to film, my face gets swollen, but if I have a half-body bath for about 20 minutes, there’s no swelling, my skin gets so much better, and the makeup sticks well. It resulted in an effective diet, too. However, I think that anything you do steadily is good for your health.

In Love, I’m the Persistent Type

To what she’s like in love, she said, “I’m totally the persistent type. I only looked at my boyfriend, and before, I coordinated everything with my boyfriend’s schedule. My whole life revolved around my boyfriend. Since those times have passed, I feel like my mind has a little more space.

“When I get a boyfriend, I don’t look at anything else. I never do anything like cheating. I think that there’s not room for two in your heart. I think that things like loving this person and that person don’t ever work. I still don’t understand how in a loving relationship between a man and a woman, there could be another person in your heart besides the one already there. I really think staying true to one person is important.

At the question of if she has a boyfriend at the moment, she said “No Comment,” and smiled.

I Hope for Marriage to be Natural

Uhm Jung Hwa has now come to her late 30’s. We wondered if she had serious worries about marriage.

“I hope for marriage to be formed naturally. If the age of marriage is way passed and I rush someone and we pick a date to be married, I wouldn’t know, but I think that shouldn’t be and whether marriage should really be rushed between two people. My friend had no boyfriend for a few years, and now she’s getting married in May. They got engaged after they had met for a month, and watching that from the sidelines, I sort of think that maybe marriage shouldn’t be like that.”

About her ideal man, she said, “I would like it if he had the basic capabilities, and if he was kind, and bright, and he had an open mind.”

As to her aspirations in the future, she said, “I want to be the kind of actor that gives people the confidence of “I really like the movies that Uhm Jung Hwa’s in. They’re fun.” I want to be always welcomed by audiences. Also, my dream is to not be limited by my image, and to be able to be a trusted actress who can transform into many different roles.”
