Interview with Lee Shin-young as Ki-beom in the movie ‘Rebound’
Actress Lee Shin-young celebrated the wedding anniversary of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who co-starred in the drama 'Crash Landing on You.'
On the morning of the 31st, Lee Shin-young told various stories related to the upcoming movie 'Rebound' (director Jang Hang-jun) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
'Rebound' is a miraculous story of 8 days during the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament, when a new coach and 6 players of the weakest basketball team that no one paid attention to ran tirelessly. It is based on the true story of Busan Jungang High School's success in the 2012 Korea Basketball Association Long National Middle and High School Basketball Tournament.
For Lee Shin-young, who appeared in the dramas 'Crash Landing on You', 'You and My Police Class', and 'Day and Night', 'Rebound' is her screen debut. In the play, Lee Shin-young plays the role of Ki-beom. Kibum was a genius player who received attention, but he is a guard who has fallen into a slump.
On this day, Lee Shin-young confessed that she did not watch ‘The First Slam Dunk’ on purpose. He said, "Our movie focused a lot on true events. I'm not from the 'Slam Dunk' generation. I didn't watch it because I thought the story I wanted to talk about with our movie was different. I bought the 'Slam Dunk' comic book, but I couldn't open the vinyl. I didn't have time to watch it. “There wasn’t,” he said.
Previously, Ahn Jae-hong revealed that he left the last volume of the 'Slam Dunk' comic book in his dorm on set and talked about 'Slam Dunk' to the cast. Lee Shin-young said, "I didn't see it. I couldn't remain idly by while people talked to me, so I went into society thinking, 'Oh, I see.' When they talked about Jeong Dae-man and Kang Baek-ho, I asked, 'Who is it?' I searched for 'Basketball Kang Baek-ho' and 'Slam Dunk Kang Baek-ho.' “I said, ‘Oh, this is such a character,’” he explained.
Lee Shin-young is famous for looking like Kim Soo-hyun. I also met Kim Soo-hyun, who made a special appearance in ‘Crash Landing on You’. He said, "During filming, I heard a lot of people saying I looked like him. I was honored and thought, 'I look like a handsome actor?' I thought he was good-looking and a good actor. So I was grateful. When I met him on set, I thought he looked like him. “I didn’t think about it. The staff around me said they looked similar, so I thought it was because of it, and I was grateful,” he said.
Lee Shin-young played the role of Park Gwang-beom, a sergeant of the 5th company in 'Crash Landing on You'. Park Gwang-beom is a member of Lee Jeong-hyeok's 5th Company, played by Hyun Bin. In particular, the day Lee Shin-young conducted the interview was also the one-year wedding anniversary of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who co-starred in 'Crash Landing on You'. Regarding this, Lee Shin-young laughed and said, "I found out about it right here. I congratulate you both so much."
Meanwhile, 'Rebound' starring Lee Shin-young will be released on April 5.
