Actress Lee Yi-kyung revealed the reason why she chose the movie ‘Woongnam’.
On the morning of the 13th, a production briefing session for the movie 'Woongnam' (director Park Seong-gwang) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Park Seong-kwang and actors Park Seong-woong, Lee Yi-kyung, Choi Min-soo, and Baek Ji-hye attended the event.
'Woongnam' is a comical action film in which a man with a special secret called Asiatic Black Bear uses his unique beast-like abilities to cooperate in an investigation against an international criminal organization.
In the play, Lee Yi-kyung plays Malbong, a neighborhood friend who grew up with Woongnam. Malbong is active as a YouTuber who introduces incidents and accidents, but has only 10 subscribers.
On this day, Lee Yi-kyung said, "Director Park Seong-gwang is my favorite brother, so I said I would be of help if I could. I received the script for 'Woongnam' while I was filming another movie in Busan. I had to deliver it to the company, but I couldn't."
He continued, "Seong-Gwang thought that I was naturally doing it. So the assistant director of the movie called the company to coordinate the schedule, but the company didn't know about it. Since there was something I had to do in the movie, I persuaded the company to do it. Now, I did it." “It’s a relationship between an actor and a director, but since he’s my favorite older brother, I have to do it as a younger brother,” he added.
Meanwhile, 'Woongnam' will be released in March.
