Joo Hyun-young revealed that she sought advice for her role as a horror YouTuber.

On the afternoon of the 24th, a screening and press conference for the movie 'The Horror Train' was held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Seoul. Director Tak Se-woong and actors Joo Hyun-young, Jeon Bae-soo, and Choi Bo-min attended.

Joo Hyun-young stated, "I didn't think the MZ character I played on 'SNL' was connected," and added, "I actually look for horror YouTubers. They are not MZ and have been communicating with their viewers for a long time. I like their channels and am a fan, so when I took on the role of a horror YouTuber, I sought their advice."

She emphasized, "Separately from MZ, I sought advice to understand how horror YouTubers conduct their research."

Joo Hyun-young expressed, "I am grateful for the image that the public has seen and loved, and I approached this role with excitement, wanting to slowly show new sides of myself one by one."

'The Horror Train' is a mystery horror film where Da-kyung (played by Joo Hyun-young), a horror YouTuber thirsty for views, uncovers the secrets of Gwangrim Station, where mysterious disappearances occur, leading her to face horrific events. It will be released on July 9.
