Interview with Lee Sung-min as Sun-tae in the movie ‘Confidential’
Actor Lee Sung-min mentioned Cho Jin-woong, with whom he collaborated for the fourth time in the movie 'Confidential'.
On the morning of the 27th, Lee Seong-min conducted a round interview for the upcoming movie 'Confidential' (directed by Lee Won-tae) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
'Confidential' is set in Busan in 1992, and a fierce struggle between Hae-woong (played by Cho Jin-woong), a candidate for a member of the National Assembly, Sun-tae (played by Seong-min Lee), a hidden figure in politics, and Pil-do (played by Mu-yeol Kim), an activist gangster, to get hold of a secret document that will shake up the Republic of Korea and turn the tables. It is a crime drama that unfolds.
In the play, Lee Sung-min played the role of Sun-tae. Suntae is a powerful figure with hidden power who controls the Busan political scene in the 1992s.
Lee Sung-min and Cho Jin-woong worked together for the fourth time in 'Confidential', following 'Kundo: Age of Civil Rebellion', 'Sheriff', and 'Duke'. Previously, Lee Sung-min expressed his affection for Cho Jin-woong, saying that he was jealous because he was good to him. Cho Jin-woong responded that he was always impressed.
On this day, Lee Sung-min said, "I had no worries" about working with Cho Jin-woong for the fourth time. He said, "There is a slight age difference with Jinwoong. I feel like our trajectories as actors are similar."
He added, "Jinwoong was active in Busan, and I was in Daegu, and we started broadcasting and movies around the same time. We met in a drama when we were so-called unknowns and nobody. We grew up together."
Lee Seong-min said, "We even filmed a car commercial together once. There was a comment that said, 'Hyung, we're here alright, right?'. I was very grateful that Jin-woong participated in the movie 'Sheriff'. I had that kind of heart, so I worked with Jin-woong. “It feels like we are always walking together,” he said.
Also, "The best thing is his acting. His acting excites me. Even if the direction of the acting is wrong, I use a thick copper string. If I act, I use a thin, long string. It is strong, but the copper string is cool, isn't it? No matter how many times I praise it, it is not a waste. I am sincere. “It is,” he said.
Meanwhile, 'Confidential' starring Lee Sung-min will be released on March 1.
