Claudia Kim has broken her silence over the controversy surrounding her role in Fantastic Beasts 2.
“When I found out that I’m playing Nagini, I thought it was meaningful because it’s an important character in the Harry Potter series,” she told an audience in theatre in Seoul, according to Allkpop.
“[It’s] a franchise film with many Caucasian actors, so I thought many Korean viewers would be happy.”
Last month, the South Korean actor was confirmed to appear in the fantasy sequel as the human version of Lord Voldemort’s faithful serpent, Nagini.
