'Dream' Park Seo-joon "There is a lot of acting where I argue with IU"

Actor Park Seo-joon looked back and said that he was disappointed that his bickering performance with singer and actress IU (Lee Ji-eun) ended.

On the morning of the 30th, a production briefing session for the movie 'Dream' (directed by Lee Byung-hun) was held at Megabox Seongsu in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and actors Park Seo-joon, IU, Kim Jong-su, Go Chang-seok, Jeong Seung-gil, Lee Hyun-woo, Yang Hyun-min, Hong Wan-pyo, and Heo Jun-seok as well as director Lee Byung-hun attended.

On this day, Park Seo-joon said about 'Dream', which had already been filmed 3 years ago, "I started filming 'Dream' after the drama 'Itaewon Class' ended. There were many twists and turns before meeting the audience," and "I was moved to see myself from 3 years ago." "It's new. I'm excited and worried about meeting the audience at the theater after a long time. I have mixed emotions," he said.

Park Seo-joon said, "I've always been a fan of IU," and "I had high expectations of working together, and I was curious about what it would be like on set. When it comes to relationships in the play, the role involves a lot of bickering and tiki-taka. There were more scenes as filming was coming to an end. “I thought it would be nice if they were there. It was nice to see them, it was fun, and it was disappointing,” he said, drawing attention.

IU also said she had high expectations for working with Park Seo-joon. Regarding the reason for joining 'Dream', he said, "I filmed dramas focusing on roles with a lot of stories, but when I thought I wanted to play a role without a story, I received an offer for 'Dream'," and "I participated with a happy heart."

IU recalled that she had high expectations for filming 'Dream' and also shared her thoughts on working with Park Seo-joon, her acting partner. He praised, "Every time the director made an unexpected request, I was so amazed and envious as I watched Park Seo-joon flexibly accept it and make it his own. I received a lot of positive stimulation while watching the acting right in front of me."

'Dream', which became a hot topic due to the meeting between Park Seo-joon and IU, is the story of Hong Dae (played by Park Seo-joon), a former soccer player with no concept, and So-min (played by IU), a passionless producer, who challenge an impossible dream with a ragtag group of homeless national team players. It is an adaptation of the true story of the 2010 Homeless World Cup, in which Korea participated for the first time.

‘Dream’ will be released on April 26th.
