The best scene from ‘Dream’ selected by IU

“I was moved by actor Lee Hyun-woo’s scene. It seemed like the message the director wanted to convey was revealed through the work.”

On the 20th of last month, IU was interviewed for the movie 'Dream' (directed by Lee Byung-hun) at a cafe in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

On this day, IU sincerely answered the reporter's questions while recalling her memories of 'Dream', which was filmed four years ago. 'Dream', in which IU plays So-min, a passionate documentary producer, depicts the process of a ragtag group of homeless people competing against former national team coach Hong Dae (played by Park Seo-joon) in order to participate in the Homeless World Cup. It is an adaptation of the true story of the 2010 Homeless World Cup, in which Korea participated for the first time.

Regarding this movie, IU said, " It's a warm movie . It's fast-moving and has a lot of interesting elements. I thought it was a heartfelt and warm movie. The harmony was good."

When asked about the most impressive scene while watching this movie, IU chose the scene of her close friend, actor Lee Hyun-woo.

“I was touched by the scene where actor Hyun-Woo Lee appeared. When I saw it in the movie, I thought it was so different. It seemed like the message the director wanted to convey through the work was revealed. I think this was the story we wanted to tell. While watching the movie, I felt the excitement of actor Hyun-Woo Lee. “It came to me in a subtle way, and there was something poignant about it.”

In 'Dream', Lee Hyun-woo played the role of Kim In-seon, a homeless person who was abandoned by his parents and lost his lover, whom he met at an orphanage and who was his everything to him in the world. Kim In-seon is the only player in the 'National Homeless Team' with shooting skills and plays the striker position. It plays a major role in the game process at the end of the movie.

'Dream', starring IU and Lee Hyun-woo, was released on the 26th of last month and is currently showing in theaters.
