Cha Eun-woo "Kim Nam-gil said we should do 'Island' together"
On the 21st, I met Cha Eun-woo, who appeared in TV's original series 'Island', at a cafe in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Cha Eun-woo played the role of John, the youngest exorcist in the Vatican.
Cha Eun-woo said, "The reason I decided to appear in 'Island' was because I had a strong desire to work with seniors. I saw how seniors such as (Kim) Nam-gil and (Lee) Da-hee approach the work and characters, how they create them on set, and the staff. "I wanted to see and learn how to communicate and breathe with others. As I felt and watched them directly and indirectly, I was influenced positively by my seniors without even realizing it, and I think my skills inside and outside of acting were accumulated," he said. He also said, "The seniors communicated with various staff members and created a friendly atmosphere on set. It was nice to be able to watch and learn from them."
Cha Eun-woo admired Kim Nam-gil, saying, "He is very playful. But when he goes into rehearsal, he immerses himself in the character, and when he starts filming, he becomes even more immersed. It was fascinating and surprising." He also expressed his respect by saying, “Before I joined, Namgil hyung contacted me separately. He even said, ‘Eunwoo, let’s trust you and give it a try.’ He is a good senior.” He then shared the behind-the-scenes story of working together to create a better work, saying, "He said, 'Let's do it by referring to the animation,' and we thought about action scenes together. Our accommodation was nearby, so we talked about the scenes we shot that day."
'Ireland' is a drama depicting the journey of characters who are destined to fight against evil that seeks to destroy the world, and is based on the comic/webtoon of the same name. All six parts of Part 1 were released last January, and Part 2 will be released one by one from the 24th of this month.
