“I don’t want you to keep it to yourself”

Asked about bullying after playing Nanno, Becky said it doesn’t only happen at school but can happen anywhere, even at work. At school, though, it follows students every day: having to see someone who treats you badly from Monday to Friday turns a place that should be fun into somewhere you don’t want to go, and it’s even worse when you’re told not to tell anyone. Her advice:

“I’d advise not to retaliate, not to be like them. Let them be. Be yourself, and then talk to someone you trust, maybe a friend, family or a teacher. Everyone is different, but I don’t want you to keep it to yourself.”

How she handles hate comments

Becky admitted that hurtful comments did worry her once, and that it took a long time to stop feeling them. Now, she said, people can say what they like, but she doesn’t take it to heart, because life has so much more to offer. She still welcomes anything that helps her get better. At 10:46 in the video she put it simply:

“If you find it fun to say that, then go ahead. But I just don’t acknowledge it, I just don’t take it to heart.”

It echoes what she told the press at the OPPO Find X10 launch this week: that she would rather give her all to her work and love the people who love her.

What Nanno taught her

Becky plays Nanno in Girl From Nowhere: The Reset, the six-episode Netflix reboot that premiered on March 7, 2026. In the interview she said the stories felt close to real life, and that the episode about cyberbullying, “Hater,” is something she believes everyone has experienced. Each episode had a different director and a new cast, so she rebuilt the character every time.

She also shared that she studies law, criminology and psychology, and used it to understand the dark side Nanno brings out in people, the side that comes out with jealousy or the need to win. The role went on to earn her Rising Star of the Year at the Global OTT Awards in Busan and Outstanding Asian Star at the Seoul International Drama Awards. The show’s numbers are on the Netflix global performance page.
