The mystery chase thriller movie 'Following' has revealed a behind-the-scenes look at the actors' passionate performances.
'Following' unfolds as Goo Jeong-tae (played by Byun Yo-han), a real estate agent with a hobby of spying, witnesses the death of Han So-ra (played by Shin Hye-sun), an SNS influencer he was observing, and searches around Han So-ra to clear the name of the murderer. It is a mystery chase thriller movie. Byun Yo-han, Shin Hye-sun, and EL put great thought and effort into improving the perfection of 'Following'.

In order to play the character of a real estate agent, Byun Yo-han tried to express the appearance of a real estate agent from clothes to facial expressions. Byun Yo-han said, “I actually met with real estate agents and asked for various advice.” He collected various examples of exemplary real estate agents, including their clothing styles and hairstyles, and after a meeting with the production team, established the character's appearance by wearing a lightweight padded vest. Byun Yo-han, who wanted to perfectly portray Koo Jeong-tae, who, contrary to his image as a straight-laced real estate agent, actually has bad tastes that no one knows about, said in order to maximize Koo Jeong-tae's dual appearance, "I wanted to put on a very kind and trustworthy smile on the outside." explained.
Shin Hye-sun, who plays Han So-ra, a social media influencer who creates a glamorous life through false postings, confessed her difficulties about playing an influencer character. In the play, Han So-ra communicates with fans in real time through live broadcasting. Shin Hye-sun, who revealed that Han So-ra was the exact opposite of her personality, expressed her difficulties by saying, "I was a little shy and difficult due to my personality." However, Shin Hye-sun showed a highly immersive performance. Shin Hye-sun announced, “This is the first time I’ve shown myself while acting.”

Lastly, as he said, "Out of all the personalities I have, I think I have the roughest and most tomboy-like side," EL, who took on a new challenge by taking on the role of a detective for the first time in his acting career, struggled to complete a charismatic character, including the speaking style and action scenes of a homicide detective. We worked hard to create realistic characters. EL, who revealed that he completed the character by focusing on Oh Young-joo's personality of meticulously and persistently digging into the case rather than his external appearance, plans to grab the audience's attention with his heavy presence.
'Following' is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 15th.
