Jo In-sung and Park Jung-min Share Their Bond at 'Human Intelligence' Press Conference
On the 4th, a press screening for the movie 'Human Intelligence' (directed by Ryu Seung-wan) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Ryu Seung-wan, along with actors Jo In-sung, Park Jung-min, Park Hae-joon, and Shin Se-kyung, attended the event.
'Human Intelligence' is a story set in Vladivostok, where secrets and truths are submerged in the icy sea, and individuals with different objectives clash. The title 'Human Intelligence' refers to intelligence activities conducted through people.
Jo In-sung plays the role of Cho, an agent of the National Intelligence Service of South Korea. Park Jung-min portrays Park Geon, a team leader in North Korea's Ministry of State Security.
Jo In-sung reminisced, "Around this time last year, we were in Latvia. We relied heavily on each other during the cold winter days of filming." He added, "By February last year, when we were shooting the final sequence, I was eagerly anticipating the day we could present it to the audience. Now that day is approaching, and I feel nervous."
Jo In-sung and Park Jung-min showcased a brotherly chemistry, with a six-year age difference between them. Regarding his bromance with Park Jung-min, Jo In-sung said, "We worked together on 'The King'. I've been watching and supporting him for a long time. We have an internal closeness, so we could act without hesitation or awkwardness," expressing his satisfaction.
Park Jung-min, speaking about his on-screen chemistry with Jo In-sung, said, "He's a senior I trust. The atmosphere naturally emerged on set, allowing me to perform comfortably." He humorously added, "This is actually our third project together, and I've always been on the receiving end of hits, but now we face off head-to-head. I think it's the right thing." He also praised Jo In-sung, saying, "In-sung has long limbs and is pleasing to look at. I tried to follow his lead." When Jo In-sung jokingly asked, "Are you confessing?" Park Jung-min replied, "Yes," eliciting laughter.
'Human Intelligence' is set to be released on the 11th.
