Collider Interviews | Pachinko Season 2: Minha Kim Isolates Herself From Youn Yuh-jung's Pachinko Performance @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Season 2 of Pachinko is going strong as we dive into the second episode of the season. In it, Sunja (Youn Yuh-jung/Minha Kim) is finally reunited with her husband Isak (Noh Sang-hyun) from her past, though the reveal of who betrayed him also comes out and hits the family hard. Meanwhile Solomon (Jin Ha) beings a bitter battle against Abe-San (Yoshio Maki) after convincing the grandmother who lives in the Osaka house to sell finally. Serving as our main protagonists for the series, Sunja and Solomon's stories have always paralleled each other, even though Sunja's starts around the 20s and 30s while Solomon's starts in the late 80s. Although Sunja's struggles are more tangible, working hard as the sole earner in her family of four to keep everyone fed, that doesn't invalidate Solomon's troubles with his job and finding his place as a Japanese-Korean in the cutthroat business world.
Minha Kim's young Sunja is scrappy, hard-working, and determined; she is willing to swallow her pride to keep her family fed and stays loyal to her husband despite his years in political prison. Although Youn Yuh-jung is a powerhouse in Pachinko, Kim is a revelation in her own right as she acts as our guide to Sunja's past. We spoke with Minha Kim about this new season of Pachinko and the journey that Sunja goes on now that war has arrived to Osaka. Kim discussed preparing for her role, especially with the time jump between seasons. She also discusses Sunja's feelings about Hansu (Lee Minho) and if she still has feelings for him. She goes into what it's like playing the character as a mother and working with the young child actors, and also whether or not Youn Yuh-jung's performance as the older Sunja affects her.
