Kapamilya actress Sue Ramirez has nothing but good words for K-pop idol Shinwoo as she shares her experience working with him on their upcoming movie.

Sue spilled the deets in the press conference of “Sunshine Family” where she describes the kind of personality the K-pop idol has. Shinwoo was part of the seven-member boy group BLANC7 which disbanded in January 2019.

“Ang bait-bait ni Shinwoo, tapos ang cute kasi nagpapaturo rin siya sa amin mag-Tagalog at [kung] anu-anong kalokohan ang tinuturo namin sa kanya (Shinwoo is very kind. He is also cute because he asks us to teach him how to speak Tagalog and we were teaching him different foolish stuff),” the Filipina young star said.

“It was a very fun experience and we got to sing together. Meron po kaming ni-record na kanta in Korea na magiging parte ng pelikula (We recorded a song in Korea which will be part of the movie) so it was a great experience,” she continued.

Working with Shinwoo, Sue said, also enriched her knowledge about what Korean actors and actresses are like at work.

Perhaps noticing her co-star’s actions at the filming location, Sue shared, “Kung papaano sila sa set na sobrang tahimik nila magtrabaho, na [kapag] work, work talaga, on time sila palagi ( They are very quiet while working in the set, that when it is work, they really work. They always arrive on time).”

Sue also shared that she was already expecting some difficulties working with Shinwoo due to the difference in their nationalities. One struggle Sue has foreseen is the language barrier.

“Malaking factor kasi ‘yun with ‘yung workplace, kung papaano kayo mag-communicate with each other. Siyempre iba ‘yung culture, iba ‘yung way of living talaga kumpara sa Pilipinas at sa mga Koreano (It is a big factor on how are you going to communicate with each other in the workplace. Of course, we have different cultures, we also have a different way of living, comparing those in the Philippines to Koreans),” she said, adding, “Pero sobrang naging smooth lang (But it went smooth).”

Last November 2018, Sue shared a photo of her and Shinwoo in a place she described as “picture perfect view.”

“Get to know Shine and Hyunwoo soon,” the actress wrote in her caption.

“Sunshine Family” tells a story of a Filipino family living in South Korea — Don and Sonya Mapalad, and their children Shine and Max. Major twists and turns in their lives occurred after Don and Sonya get involved in a hit-and-run accident.

The film is a collaboration project between Film Line Pictures Production LTD. and Spring Films and is helmed by award-winning Korean director Kim Tai-Sik.

Apart from Sue, veteran actors Nonie and Sharmaine Buencamino and child actor Marco Masa are also part of the cast.
