Kim Seon-ho, a 'Scion' born in the belief of "Let's go to the end"

"It's the first time I've met so many reporters since 'Hundred Days My Prince'. I'm so nervous."

Actor Kim Seon-ho, who went directly to skinship with reporters for the first time in about 5 years, drew attention with a neat suit and well-organized hairstyle. If the Scion in the movie 'The Scion' (director Park Hoon-jung) had casual styling, this would have been the image.

Kim Seon-ho couldn't hide his tension as he went to a media interview for the first time in a long time ahead of his screen debut with 'The Scion'. Kim Seon-ho listened to the question given with a slightly flushed face and gave a sincere answer.

'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 Seon-ho made his screen debut through 'The Scion'. Kim Seon-ho, who entered the entertainment world through plays, has played pleasant and warm characters through dramas such as 'Eulachacha Waikiki 2', 'Startup', and 'Seaside Town Cha Cha Cha'. At the same time as his screen debut, he transformed into acting by showing a completely different face from the image he had shown before. He played the role of a nobleman with an unexpected charm that is ruthless but has both composure and wit.

When asked how he felt about his screen debut, Kim Seon-ho laughed, saying that it was difficult because his face on the big screen was awkward. “Since it’s my first time in a movie, I’ve never seen current affairs in the media. ."

Kim Seon-ho expressed his gratitude to director Hoon-jung Park, who held his hand until the end and trusted him even though privacy issues arose at the time of casting 'The Scion' , saying, "To me, he is like a great director, close brother, and friend."

"The director said, 'As long as you're okay, we intend to do it until the end.' And throughout the rest of the day, the director kept pretending that nothing was wrong with me. From my point of view, I thought that I shouldn't cause trouble. , The people around me and the directors suffered damage because of me. At that time, the filming was already delayed considerably. I had no choice but to say, 'Yes, I will do it'."

In the play, the neat and sophisticated madman always smiles, but when the rearview mirror of his favorite foreign car is broken or his luxury limited edition shoes are stained with blood, he can't hide his annoyance and swears. Kim Seon-ho confessed that he had a hard time acting out anger and swearing.

"The director said, 'Your usual way of speaking is very friendly. I don't need to act with patience, I need to act with anger.' , I paid and watched it on TV. Haha"

There was a good reference for the acting of swear words in Director Park Hoon-jung's 'New World'. After asking director Hoon -Jung Park, 'What kind of work do you refer to? I referred to it a lot, saying, “You can do that without shouting,” and laughed.

My favorite scene in 'The Scion' is the action scene, and the regrettable scene is the scene in British English. “I almost ran out of the theater in the middle of the British English scene. The director commented, ‘There are people who imitate British English, that’s it,’ but it wasn’t easy. And my favorite scene is the action scene in the second half. I like it because it seems to have been directed so nicely. I watched it while thinking 'It's amazing'.

Kim Seon-ho, who suffered from a personal life issue ahead of his screen debut, said it was 'a time that made me look back'. Kim Seon-ho said, "But even if that happened, my spectrum as an actor did not change. In expressing the 'Scion', nothing would have changed as an actor. I had only a grateful heart and a desire to play this role well as an actor. , I did my best,” he said.

Kim Seon-ho, who regards each work as a turning point and wants to move forward as an actor, said , "As an actor, I will continue to work hard and develop to show a good image in the future."

"Everything that happens to me, every work is always a turning point for me. I think the important thing is whether I make this in a direction where I can develop and improve. I will think about and develop so that I can do that."
