There is an actor that stands out recently that all Netflix fans will know. Actor Song Gang (26), who is active in the’Sweet Home’ released this month, is the protagonist of the movie’If you like it,’ which was released last August. He played the role of Hwang Seon-oh, the son of the rich family, in his previous work, which was based on the webtoon of writer Chun Gye-young, and showed off his’only tears’ aspect. ‘Sweet Home’ is also based on a webtoon by Kim Kanbi and Hwang Young-chan, but due to the nature of monsters, the dark and gloomy atmosphere is dominant. The residents of the old apartment green home, which are the subject of redevelopment, cannot overcome their inherent desires and turn into monsters one by one, and are taking the lead to protect those who have survived to the end.

Song Kang, who met with video on the 22nd, said, “I am so honored and grateful that I am the main character of such a masterpiece,” and said, “I am happy that the reaction around me is good, but I am still stupid.” This work, with a total production cost of 3 billion won per episode and a total of 30 billion won for 10 episodes, is evaluated as opening a new horizon of’K Creature’ on an extraordinary scale in collaboration with Hollywood VFX companies. Overseas reactions are also hot enough to be ranked 1st on the Netflix charts in 10 countries in 4 days of release, and to be ranked as’Today’s Top 10 Contents’ in 50 countries. While taking an eye stamp on viewers from over 190 countries around the world, his Instagram account has been flooded with comments in multinational languages ​​such as English, Spanish, and Arabic, as well as most idols. Thanks to this, he said, “I am feeling a little bit by little” of the rapidly increasing popularity abroad.

‘Sweet Home’ was even more topical as PD Lee Eung-bok directed it. The expectation was high whether this PD, who left three consecutive hits with writer Kim Eun-suk, such as’Descendants of the Sun,”Goblin’, and’Mr. Sunshine’, will show power in genres other than melodies. “At first, it was a lot of pressure, but I trusted it and gave it to me. Before the first shoot, I will trust you, so I told you to believe in me and do whatever you want. During the test shoot, I went without knowing anything, but I put a lot of hair on it. As I found out later, I said,’You have to kill your face as much as possible.’ haha. So I did a lot of dark circle makeup and tried to look dwarfed. By bending your shoulders or walking with your neck out. At some point, I think the synchro rate was quite high because it looked a little like Hyunsoo in the webtoon. It was all made by the production team.”

The pathetic situation that Hyeon-su faces also helped his immersion. He was a brighter child than anyone, but because of the kindness he gave in favor, he became a victim of school violence in an instant, and even his family turned away from the pain of Hyeon-soo as the perpetrator and his father’s company were entangled. “The moment I touched my family, I lost my temper, so I think I let go of me and acted. Normally, I was a child who only wanted to die, so I worked as dry as possible. So that the contrast can be clearly seen when it has changed.” Regarding the children who pulled Hyunsoo out again, he said, “I think I remembered myself from the past while watching the scene where I lost my father.” “I remember the line that said to the children,’Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.’”

He changed his desire from a sense of self-help of “I want to die” to a sense of mission to “protect people,” and, unlike other monsters, he continues to fight with himself. Even if the Green Home residents treat him as a monster and treat him as an errand or a shield, he doesn’t care. “I thought I had to endure the most. Thinking about the faces of the people in the Green Home who have become a new family. I tried to express the degree of being engulfed by desire step by step. Like the movie’Joker’, I tear my mouth off.” When asked what would happen if they face a similar situation in reality, he replied with a smile, saying, “Because of the corona, I couldn’t even go to the gym, and my desire for exercise has grown so much that I think I will become a’muscle monster.'” “Because all monsters have different characteristics, I think they are more attractive. I was really scared because’food tamping monster’ was not a computer graphic (CG) but a special makeup. I’m looking forward to seeing that Hyeonsu will be able to freely control his power like a’spider monster’ when season 2 is played.”

Next year, Netflix is ​​about to release’If You Like It’ Season 2, and tvN’Navilera’ is also filming. “I still have a lot to learn” and “I want to become an actor who expresses emotions and sorrows well without getting stuck in a frame.” Said. “In’Navilera’, I think I can show you a different look than before by playing the role of Chae-Rok Lee who loves ballet. I play a lot of student roles now, but I would like to challenge various genres such as noir with a more mature look.”
