'Scion' Kim Kang-woo "Isn't Issa Han wearing a shower gown and shooting a rifle cute?"

Actor Kim Kang-woo (45) showed his affection for his character, Director Han.

On the morning of the 19th, Kim Kang-woo started an interview about the movie 'The Scion' (director Park Hoon-jung) at a cafe in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

'The Scion' is about an unknown scion (Kim Seon-ho) in front of Marco (Kang Tae-joo), a boxer who wanders around illegal stadiums in the Philippines, as well as forces with different goals, Han Yi-sa (Kim Kang-woo), Yun-ju (Go Ara), etc. A work containing the chase that unfolds after appearing.

Kim Kang-woo takes on the role of Isa Han, the second-generation heinous conglomerate in 'The Scion', and takes the main central axis of the play. The realistic and intense action was superbly digested. Kim Kang-woo said, "He is a character that cannot be done in modern society, and in a way, he does not exist and cannot exist in reality ."

Kim Kang-woo smiled, saying, "Isn't it cute? Isn't it okay? Originally, it was like a plain hotel gown, but it's really been upgraded a lot" in relation to the scene in the movie where Han is wearing a shower gown and shooting a long gun.

“I know you discussed the gown with the director and the costume team a lot. They say it’s a good imported gown. I asked if I should wear slippers to shoot a rifle while wearing only a gown, but I was immediately rejected. Haha! It has to be.’ The director thinks a lot about masculinity.”

In addition, director Han's humor code explodes in an emergency situation in the play, but Kim Kang-woo revealed that he acted without any intention to be funny.

“There are moments when humor makes people laugh. It’s funny when the wrong situation unfolds in a tense and solemn moment. I think it might have made me laugh when I acted."

Lastly, Kim Kang-woo asked for a lot of attention ahead of the release of 'The Scion'. "This may be trite, but all the actors worked hard so that their eyes were burning. I hope that their efforts will be imprinted on the public through 'The Scion'."

'The Scion' will be released on June 21st.
