Go Min Si Reveals Why She Looks So Different In “Sweet Home” And “The Witch”

Go Min Si is a hot topic of conversation due to her role in the Netflix hit drama, Sweet Home, but many are failing to realize that she was in the hit movie, The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion as well.

For her role in Sweet Home, Go Min Si braced herself for a tricky role in Korea’s first monster drama.

I was curious as to how Korea’s first monster movie would be portrayed, and I was worried if I could do a good job. I figured I had to put a lot of effort into my acting.

But what she particularly prepared for was to physically be ready for her character who does ballet.

I practiced to play a character who does ballet. You have to do hard training when it comes to acting that requires your body if you want 70% to 80% of it to come on screen.

For that reason, Go Min Si made sure to look the part by losing 13 kilograms (29 pounds) since her role in The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion.

She purposely gained weight to become 58 kilograms (128 pounds) for her role in The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion to suit her role as an average student and friend, but when it came time for her role as a ballet dancer, she made the effort to lose a very large proportion of that.

As a result, Go Min Si transformed perfectly for both roles and look quite different in each project.

In the monster series, Sweet Home, Go Min Si plays a rebellious teenager who had to quit ballet due to an ankle injury.

It’s now been revealed that Go Min Si prepared very hard for her role, and it shows from her incredible performance in the show.

Sweet Home is currently streaming on Netflix.
