Park Seong-woong: “Being 25 is harder than playing two roles.”
On the morning of the 13th, a production briefing session for the movie 'Woongnam' (director Park Seong-gwang) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Park Seong-kwang and actors Park Seong-woong, Lee Yi-kyung, Choi Min-soo, and Baek Ji-hye attended the event.
'Woongnam' is a comical action film in which a man with a special secret called Asiatic Black Bear uses his unique beast-like abilities to cooperate in an investigation against an international criminal organization.
In the play, Park Seong-woong plays Woong-nam, a former police officer and now an unemployed local man, and Eung-buk, the second-in-command of an international criminal organization.
On this day, Park Seong-woong said that he laughed when Park Seong-gwang told him that he dreamed of becoming a movie director and asked to work together. He said, “I received the script the year before last. I was amazed and proud, thinking, ‘Hey, this guy can pull it off.’”
He continued, "Isn't it a mistake to say that it was written about me? We discussed it a lot before filming started. To be honest, I heard the news. I heard that I directed a short film, directed an independent feature film, and won an award. I was told that I was in an accident, but I was a person who had an accident and was having a hard time. “I was given two roles, but it was fun to film,” he added.
Park Seong-woong said, "It wasn't easy to play two roles. Being 25 was difficult. I played two roles in 'The Guy Inside Me' and I thought the fundamentals were the same."
Meanwhile, 'Woongnam' will be released in March.
