On an episode of KBS 2TV’s “Star Life Theater” that aired on Tuesday, Ku talked about her latest work “Peach Tree,” which is her second feature film as a director.
“It’s tiring and grueling,” she said. “At times you ask yourself, ‘Why am I doing this?’ But movies have the ability to make you feel alive.”
Ku is nearly done filming the movie about a pair of male Siamese twins. The film features actors Cho Seung-woo, Nam Sang-mi and Ryu Duk-hwan.
The actress-turned-director established Ku Hye-sun Film, a film company, on her own last year.
To date, Ku has produced the films “You” (2010), “Magic” (2010), “The Madonna” (2008) and “Pieces of Memory” (2012).
The 27-year-old Hallyu actress rose to fame from hit dramas such as “Boys over Flowers” (2009) and “Nonstop 5” (2005).
