‘Alienoid’ Part 2 to be released on January 10th
On the morning of the 4th, Ryu Jun-yeol was interviewed about the second part of the movie 'Alienoid' (directed by Choi Dong-hoon) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and told stories about the movie and his life as an actor.
On this day, Ryu Jun-yeol said about the completion of 'Alienoid' with the release of Part 2, "It is a work that I have such special affection for that I want to open and watch parts 1 and 2 at once," and "They say it is a 387-day long journey. “It feels like I’m finally letting go of the child I gave birth to, so it’s a new feeling,” he said, laughing. At the same time, he spoke about the evaluation of the first part, which did not meet expectations, and the evaluation expected from the audience who watched part 2.
"I don't think the results of my preparation and work as an actor or as a person can always be good. I think it's fate. I was prepared, and my feelings are the same as before. However, this story is divided into two parts. Although I lost, I hope that the audience will be able to convey the importance of being buttoned because it is a story. The movie deals with things like relationships and fate between people, and I feel comfortable that these stories can be told.”
Ryu Jun-yeol said about the completion of Part 2 of ‘Alien + Humans’ that it ‘exceeded expectations’. “I was really surprised by the CG part. I was really surprised that there was such a big technological advancement in the past year and a half. I tend to act without doubts, but when I saw the results of this work, I thought it was really amazing.”
When asked, "Are you confident about Part 2?" Ryu Jun-yeol responded, "Rather than confident, I think I did the work without regrets." “I think it would be good if you just knew, ‘This movie was trying to tell this story.’ In fact, the fellow actors I met while filming this movie are so many good people, including (Kim) Woo-bin and Yeom Jeong-ah, that I thought, ‘This is what Yeon is like. I thought, 'We can get together like this.' I felt that these things were reflected in the movie. In 'Alien + Human,' the characters live in different eras and their descendants meet, and through such things, I thought that the connection between humans is not easy. “Human relationships are fate, they are precious, and they can accomplish great things. These things will unfold in Part 2, so I hope you will find out quickly.”
'Alienoid' Part 2 is a film that tells the story of humans and gurus trying to save everyone by returning to the future while hidden secrets are revealed in the fierce battle for the new sword. Ryu Jun-yeol plays the role of Muruk, a Buddhist monk who doubts his identity. It will be released on January 10th.
