'Gil Bok-soon' '50 years old' Jeon Do-yeon "No more action acting"

Actress Jeon Do-yeon (50), who attempted action at the age of Ji Cheon-myeong, said, “I graduated from action acting.”

On the morning of the 5th, Jeon Do-yeon conducted an interview for the Netflix movie 'Gil Bok-soon' (directed by Byun Seong-hyun) in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

On this day, Jeon Do-yeon confessed that it was 'very difficult' for her to take on the character of a killer and challenge herself with professional action acting for the first time in her career. Jeon Do-yeon drew attention by saying about the action challenge, "I think I did enough. As of now, I have graduated from the action genre."

Jeon Do-yeon previously showed off her action skills using a sword in the movie 'Hyupnyeo'. In relation to this, Jeon Do-yeon explained, "'Hyupnyeo' was much more epic and focused on pictures. Rather than filming an action movie, the narrative of revenge and a daughter raised for revenge was more important."

Jeon Do-yeon said she built muscles by controlling her diet for the first time for this action challenge. Over the course of about 4 months, I built up my muscles through diet and exercise. It is said that director Byun Seong-hyun applauded Jeon Do-yeon's muscles, showing greater satisfaction than expected.

Action filming also led to injuries. Jeon Do-yeon said, "There was a 360-degree rotation scene in the commercial scene, and I got injured while filming it. I fell down at the time, and I was so helpless that I didn't know why I couldn' t get up. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, so we started filming again in a few days. “It did resume,” he said looking back.

Jeon Do-yeon said about the action in 'Gil Bok-soon', "There were a lot of long takes without interruption. If you interrupted it, people would say 'you're good at action' and the visuals could have been better. , but it didn't stop," she said. “It’s a little less cool.” “I think I wanted to see the emotions of a realistic-looking character in action,” he explained.

'Gil Bok-soon' is an action movie depicting the story of Gil Bok-soon, a legendary killer in the contract killing industry, who is caught up in an inevitable confrontation where he either dies or is killed, just before renewing his contract with the company. By setting up a contract killing company as entertainment and describing the commissioned murder as a 'work' and the murder design as a 'scenario,' the world of the killer was portrayed by comparing it to an actor.

'Gilbok-soon', which was released on the 31st of last month, ranked first in Netflix's Global Top 10 Movies (Non-English) category, recording 19.61 million viewing hours within three days of its release. It ranked first in countries such as Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vietnam, and was included in the TOP 10 list in a total of 82 countries, including Canada, Germany, Spain, Brazil, and New Zealand.
