Actress Lee Ha-nui revealed the reason why she chose the movie ‘Killing Romance’.
On the afternoon of the 10th, a press screening for the movie ‘Killing Romance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok) was held at the Lotte Cinema Konkuk University entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Director Lee Won-seok, Lee Ha-nui, and Lee Sun-gyun attended the press conference held after the preview.
'Killing Romance' is about top star Yeorae (played by Lee Ha-nui), who suddenly announces her retirement after falling in love with island tycoon Jonathan (played by Lee Seon-gyun), and meets Beom-woo (played by Gong Myeong), a student from the 3rd fan club, and plots an extraordinary comeback plan. It's a story.
In the play, Lee Ha-nui plays the role of Tathagata. Tathagata is a retired top star who dreams of a brilliant screen comeback. She meets Jonathan Na by chance, falls in love with him, and suddenly retires as soon as he gets married.
On this day, Lee Ha-nui said, "When I read 'Killing Romance' as a book, I should say I laughed hahaha. I burst out laughing a lot. I was very curious about how it would turn out if it were released as a live-action movie. I started with that curious mind."
Lee Ha-nui performed songs such as ‘Tathagataism’ and ‘Please’ through ‘Killing Romance’. He explained, "Actually, it was very difficult. It's not even a musical movie genre. The songs 'Please' and 'Tathagataism' were songs that could be hummed in everyday life. So there was no need to sing them well."
He continued, "I also have a song that I listen to when I'm having a hard time and find comfort in it. There was a song that I mumbled and sang along to when I was having a hard time. I thought about those things. In the case of 'Please', I approached it while thinking about the Tathagata's feelings. What I did at the same time was to improve the sound quality. "It wasn't good, so I re-recorded it in the recording studio. There were very subtle differences and I couldn't follow the synchrony. I thought I couldn't use it because of the footprints, but they saved my life."
Meanwhile, 'Killing Romance' will be released on the 14th.
