Actor Park Jung-min Praises Shin Se-kyung and Shares Insights on Acting

Actor Park Jung-min recently praised Shin Se-kyung in a candid interview.

On October 10, the YouTube channel of Chungju City released the second episode of 'Park Jung-min x Chungju Man'.

During the episode, Park Jung-min opened up about the most realistic moments he faces as an actor. He admitted, "There are times when I don't understand the direction given. I wonder, 'What kind of direction is this?' but ultimately, it's right to follow the director's vision."

He continued, "In reality, we (actors) are like Nautilus. We are tools. Even if there are conflicts of opinion, they resolve over time. Will I fail?" he candidly shared. Chungju Man added humorously, "Well, I've already been paid," causing laughter.

Park Jung-min was cast second in the lineup for the movie 'Humint'. He remarked, "If you're not first, it's similar," and praised Jo In-sung as "a true model of a senior actor who not only buys meals and drinks but also gives precise advice."

Regarding Shin Se-kyung, Park Jung-min stated, "I dare say, she is the most beautiful celebrity I've ever seen," and described her as "a very solid actress."

When asked about 'acting chemistry', Park Jung-min said, "The better the co-actor, the better I perform. I don't need to shine. It's okay if people don't notice me." However, when concerns about having a minor presence were raised, he humorously added, "I'm not that insignificant."

Having worked with director Ryu Seung-wan multiple times, Park Jung-min shared, "Casting seems to be more about chemistry than connections. We get along well, and I'm affordable. Sometimes, I even work for free," showing his willingness to make cameo appearances.

When asked if he senses a 'blockbuster' vibe while working on a project, Park Jung-min recalled, "Lee Dong-hwi was offered 'Extreme Job' and was contemplating it. He called me and said, 'It's about cops staking out in a chicken shop, and the shop becomes successful, so they start making lots of chicken.' Even half-asleep, I found it funny and told him not to worry. While making it, you don't know, but as an outsider, I could feel it."
