On the 22nd, a press conference for the film 'No Choice' (directed by Park Chan-wook) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook, Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, and Yum Hye-ran.
During the event, Son Ye-jin remarked, "It was amazing to work with Lee Byung-hun for the first time. He acts so effortlessly, without exerting any force," adding, "I wondered how he could perform so naturally without any strain."
She humorously added, "I've played golf with him a few times, and he puts in so much effort there. I joked that he might be sore afterward because of how much force he uses. Perhaps that's why he acts so effortlessly, saving his energy for the screen. He's truly an outstanding actor."
Meanwhile, 'No Choice' tells the story of 'Mansu' (played by Lee Byung-hun), a satisfied office worker who suddenly gets laid off and prepares for his own battle to find new employment. The film is set to be released on the 24th.
