Actor Jin Seon-gyu talked about former player Park Si-heon, who became the motif of the movie 'Count'.
On the afternoon of the 13th, a press screening for the movie 'Count' (directed by Kwon Hyuk-jae) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Kwon Hyuk-jae, actors Jin Seon-gyu, Seong Yu-bin, Oh Na-ra, Go Chang-seok, and Jang Dong-ju attended the press conference held after the preview.
'Count' is the story of Si-heon (played by Jin Seon-gyu), a former gold medalist and My Way teacher who never lets go once he bites, meets a ragtag group of hack-ass students and delivers a delightful blow to the world. A new work based on the anecdote of 1988 Seoul Olympic gold medalist Park Si-heon.
In the play, Jin Seon-gyu plays the role of Si-heon. Siheon is a gold medalist and former My Way teacher.
On this day, Jin Seon-gyu mentioned his relationship with former national team member Park Si-heon. He said, "We didn't meet often, but we kept in touch often. I wasn't conscious of the need to describe it externally. As we talked, I realized that Mr. Siheon's passion and thoughts, and his unwavering and silently doing his work until now, were similar to mine." He said.
He continued, "My values, thoughts, and driving forces that I consider important were similar. I tried to keep that feeling in each scene. Although people may see them as scary people, I felt that they were warm people at home. That's what I heard from them. “I decided to try to incorporate as much of the feeling I got from my actions into this movie as possible,” he added.
Meanwhile, 'Count' will be released on the 22nd.
