Lee Jin-wook, "I had a hard time acting with Song Kang, so I told him to exercise less."

Actor Lee Jin-wook expressed his feelings about working with Song Kang in action.

On the 30th, a production presentation for Season 2 of the Netflix original series 'Sweet Home' was held at S-Factory in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. Directors Song Kang, Lee Jin-wook, Lee Si-young, Go Min-si, Jinyoung, Yoo Oh-seong, Kim Moo-yeol, and Lee Eung-bok attended the event.

'Sweet Home 2' is a world where desire becomes a monster, Hyun-soo and the Green Home survivors who leave Green Home and fight each other to survive in a new home, as well as the appearance of another being and unknown mysterious phenomena. A work depicting new desires, events, and struggles.

Lee Jin-wook plays Pyeon Sang-wook, a special infected person who loses his humanity, whose everything changes when Jeong Jeong-myeong, who thinks monsters are superior to humans, enters his body, and he completely transforms into a different character with the same face.

Lee Jin-wook said, “I am Pyeon Sang-wook, but I am not Pyeon Sang-wook. In the beginning of the play, I received help from actor Kim Seong-cheol, who played the role of Jeong Jeong-myeong. He asked me to read the script in the beginning, so I listened to the recording and referred to it. However, I did not want to follow the recording. "I don't think that a person's memory relies solely on the brain. I thought that there would be a Pyeon Sang-wook that the body remembers, so I thought of acting out a subtle change," he said.

He then asked, "I acted while thinking about what it would be like if half of my face was Chung Eui-myeong and half of my face was Pyeon Sang-wook. It may be a little obvious, but please think of it that way and see it."

Lee Jin-wook said that after the action scene with Song Kang, he told him to exercise less. He laughed and said, "Song Kang likes exercise. It was difficult to put together the action. So I told him to exercise less. It was a joke. Because it's right for me to raise him."

‘Sweet Home 2’ will be released on December 1.
