In an interview with Hindustan Times, Minha Kim said “I was a bit depressed after the first season (of Pachinko). My grandmother shared a lot of stories from her life at the time with me. These conversations unconsciously stayed in my mind; I tried to understand why, and how she suffered back then as a woman. It wasn’t just the historical facts, but her strength and courage that made an impact on me.’
She continued, “Sunja has a vivid goal - to protect her family, raise her sons and most importantly keep her promise to herself, to not give up. When someone does not have any preconceived motives to do something, it makes them very strong. She knows her strength, and finds her hopes and joys in the simple things in life.”
The actress was also asked if should would love to visit India, to which she replied, “I would love to visit and experience Indian culture and explore the palaces. I love Indian food.”
