Go Min Si has revealed the intense process she underwent to lose weight for her role in Netflix’s new original series, The Frog .
During an interview on October 26th, Go Min Si, who stars in The Frog , shared her experience of preparing for the suspense thriller. The drama, directed by Mo Wan Il of The World of the Married , follows the lives of people whose peaceful existence is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious guest in the middle of summer.
Go Min Si plays painter Yoo Seong Ah. Seong Ah spends a night at the remote pension run by Jeon Young Ha (Kim Yun Seok) and is captivated by its beauty. She returns a year later, setting off a chain of events that disrupts Young Ha’s once peaceful life.
Discussing her physical transformation for the role, Go Min Si said, “I lost a lot of weight. It was the lowest weight I’ve ever been in my life, around 43 kg.” She continued, “When I did ‘Sweet Home,’ I was about 46 kg, so I lost an additional 3 kilograms. I wanted my spine to be more visible to convey a raw, animalistic vibe, even if it was just for a moment in a quick cut. I wanted to show Seong Ah’s energy building up to a climax.”
She added, “I wanted my spine to look prominent and eerie. I think I lost about 5 to 6 kilograms from my original weight,” surprising many.
In The Frog , Go Min Si takes on a “wealthy” character for the first time. Reflecting on her previous roles, she said, “I’ve always done a lot of roles with blood makeup or played characters who were poor. This was the first time I got to deck myself up, and it was new and fun for me to see them captured in the scenes. I found a lot of joy in challenging myself with this type of work.”
The Frog was released on Netflix on the 23rd.
