• 'Hellbound' Actress Kim Shin Rok Shares About Working With Yoo Ah In

    Actress Kim Shin Rok shared her experience working with Yoo Ah-in.

    In an online video interview on Netflix's 'Hellbound' conducted with Wikitree on the morning of December 6th, Kim Shin Rok revealed that Yoo Ah In was a person with power.

    On this day, Kim Shin Rok said, "I was not able to meet with actor Yoo Ah In on the film set too often. I met him exactly twice: once was at the cafe when I met the founder of New Truth for the first time and the second time was when I was signing the contract about the live broadcast."

    She continued, "He has a powerful presence and on top of that he played the role of the leader of a pseudo-religion so he had this power to draw people in. He had enough power that all I had to do was react well."

    The actress also shared her experiences with working with actress Kim Hyun Joo. Kim Shin Rok explained, "When I was acting with her, I felt she was very sincere about acting."

    She continued to add, "One of my favorite scenes is when the people from the New Truth and the lawyer's office came to my house to discuss the contract for the live broadcast. There, Jung Jin Soo (played by Yoo Ah In) asks me why the kids don't have a father and if he was a married man. That's when I replied that the kids have different fathers but lawyer Min Hye Jin (played by Kim Hyun Joo) defended me and said I don't need to respond. That's the scene when I really felt Kim Hyun Joo's presence as an actress."

    She is working with director Yeon Sang-ho for the second time after 'Method'. When asked if there was any advice he received from director Yeon Sang Ho, She said, "There is no prior direction, and when I am acting, I come and say a word or two. There was power.”

    On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

    During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

    The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

    “I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

    He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

    “In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

    Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
