Lee Byung-hun Shares Acting Tips for Newcomers on Set of 'No Other Choice'

Lee Byung-hun offers acting advice to newcomers.

On the 24th, at a café in Sogyeok-dong, Seoul, actor Lee Byung-hun discussed his role in the film 'No Other Choice'.

'No Other Choice' tells the story of Man-soo, played by Lee Byung-hun, a satisfied company employee who suddenly gets fired. To protect his wife, two children, and their hard-earned home, he embarks on a personal battle for reemployment. Lee Byung-hun portrays Yoo Man-soo, a job seeker who starts a reemployment war after being abruptly dismissed from a paper company he dedicated 25 years to.

In this film, Lee Byung-hun acts alongside Son Ye-jin as a married couple. Son Ye-jin, in an interview about 'No Other Choice', praised Lee Byung-hun's relaxed and flexible demeanor on set.

Lee Byung-hun stated, "Newcomers or those with little acting experience often come to the set overly prepared. Their preparation is impeccable, to the point where they can deliver everything flawlessly. However, this can make them rigid. When changes or additional directions are given on set, they struggle to adapt and their preparation crumbles. I advise them to remain flexible. Memorize the lines but focus on the scene's meaning and intention. During rehearsals, try to stay relaxed. Maintaining a level of flexibility allows you to adapt to the director's instructions without being overwhelmed."
