Actor Jung Ga-ram Expresses Admiration for Veteran Bae Sung-woo
In a recent interview held at a café in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Jung Ga-ram appeared in a casual outfit, wearing a hoodie and jeans, to discuss his new film 'The Ultimate Investigation.'
'The Ultimate Investigation' is a crime thriller that follows detective Jae-hyuk (played by Bae Sung-woo), who is transferred to a remote area. He teams up with rookie detective Joong-ho (played by Jung Ga-ram) to catch the real culprit behind a murder case involving two suspects. Although the film was completed in 2019, its release was delayed due to Bae Sung-woo's DUI controversy, finally premiering after approximately seven years.
During the interview, Jung Ga-ram spoke about working with Bae Sung-woo, who is 21 years his senior, saying, "He is very trendy. It didn't feel like there was a big age gap. He was reassuring on set. In a way, I could be his son's age if he had a child early."
He added, "I briefly met him during 'Beasts Clawing at Straws' (2020). He was so impressive and respectable even then. I was excited and happy to work with him. He has a great personality and is incredibly detailed."
