When a high school girl chewed on’Sweet Home’… 13kg less than the’witch’

A high school girl practicing ballet on a sunny rooftop and a high school boy watching it. At the moment when love would begin in any youth melody, a high school girl screams. “Ah, really!” He pulls the gum sticking to his toe shoes and dabbles.
In the Netflix new 10-part monster horror’Sweet Home,’ based on the webtoon of the same name, actor Koong-si (26) is intense from its first appearance. ‘Goblin’ (tvN)’Descendants of the Sun’ (KBS) star Lee Eung-bok took a megaphone, and this drama was simultaneously released in 190 countries on the 18th of last month and ranked first in the daily popularity rankings in 11 countries including Korea, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong. It collected topics such as rising to third place. He played the metaphor of a high school student living alone with his brother Eun-hyuk (Lee Do-hyun), who is not mixed with a drop of blood in the shabby apartment’Green Home,’ in a peculiar view of the world that humans are turning into monsters of different shapes due to their own desires. As an adopted child, he has suffered from everything he dreamed of after his parents died in an accident and an ankle injury, but he is always in trouble.

“Don’t die here” to Hyunsoo (Songgang), a reclusive loner who went up on the roof in desperation after losing her whole family for a while, and to Jisoo (Park Gyu-young), a neighbor who lost a loved one by a monster, “I will survive with you to the end.” Don’t try to be unhappy.”
Would you start a mouth battle with the dying world and’Kang’? His lines are like saliva that pierces a vague heart. This is because he himself was afraid. This is the secret to becoming a’scene stealer’ without any action scenes that defeat monsters nicely. After the release of’Sweet Home’, it was the only drama cast in the top 3 ranking in the search rankings for Naver Movies on the portal site.

“I personally thought that the metaphor’s character would have a lot of likes and dislikes, but I was surprised that it had more favorable comments than I thought. The only thing in the play was that he spoke a lot of cider, and there were a lot of lines representing the audience from the perspective of the audience. It was very regrettable that the only weapon of the metaphor was the taser, but the dialogue came out as much as I tried.”
This is what he said through a video interview on the 30th of last month. “I am realizing the popularity by looking at the number of Instagram followers, and I am still stupid. I am trying to enjoy it enough.”
“The first filming was on the rooftop ballet shoes, but on a really hot summer day, I was amazed because I wasn’t feeling well, and then I took a supplementary shot because I was regretful and director Lee Eung-bok was regretful.” I also consulted a lot. ‘I wish I could play as a metaphor in the field as much as possible. Don’t worry, I asked you to show me something inside of you.’

When I watched the audition, I read the lines with the possibility of other characters such as Yun Ji-soo and Park Yu-ri in the play in addition to metaphors. PD Lee Eung-bok scored as a metaphor. In this drama where everyone is desperate, Metaphor is the protagonist with the most prominent appearance of growth. He is clumsy, but throwing himself 100% no matter what he does is a character that agonizing poems have taken over since the days of assistant roles. In Park Hoon-jung’s Korean superhero movie “The Witch” (2018), after the 5th audition, the protagonist Ja-yoon (Kim Da-mi)’s chatty friend Myeong-hee, played the role of a high school girl with a roll in her bangs, and digested Chungcheong-do style abusive language. That’s it. In the Netflix youth drama’If You Like It’ (2018), where I met actor Song Kang for the first time, he took over the villain of’Candy’. He harassed his cousin Jo (Kim So-hyun), loved by Sun-oh (Songgang), who he liked, but his desperate appearance on the Internet broadcast caused sympathy for his idol dream. The drama’Secret Boutique’ (2019), which played an amateur Go knight who failed to make a professional selection, won the first female rookie award (SBS Drama Awards).

In this work, not only Hyunsoo, who leads the play in a state of anti-human and anti-monster, but also with her brother Eun-hyuk, who gradually feels compassion after striking each other, a reaction is called’Sharky Chemie’. It is a buzzword that means a forbidden relationship that cannot be achieved. “I saw the nickname’Sister and sister’, but when I was acting in the field, I did not intend at all. Although the director’s unique melodrama is siblings, it seems to have made them look sad.”
He has been a fan of the original webtoon. “When I first saw the scenario, it was a lot of adaptation in the webtoon, and the overall feeling changed, and I was worried about how it would be conveyed to the public as a character that was not present was added. However, it was fun to think that a variety of worldviews emerged from the desire and psychology of humans, not simply a monster drama as the latter part of the scenario came out.”

The short and thick ballet scene is the result of practicing hard 7 months before filming. “When I was’If I liked it,’ I thought that dancing was insufficient, so I went on a diet to raise the ballet shoes to the maximum level. At the time of’Witch,’ I deliberately gained 57~58kg, but this’Sweet Home’ lost almost 12~13kg, losing 45kg.”
It was regrettable that there were few monsters and battle scenes compared to the lines. “If Season 2 comes out, I want to fight a lot of monsters wearing clothes suitable for action, not school uniforms,” he said. If you enter the’sweet home’ worldview and turn into a monster, what kind of desire will be reflected the most? When you asked, unexpectedly, “I’m very interested in the key” and laughed, “I think I will become a key monster that appears in front of people.” .

He said, “I dreamed of becoming an actor since I was in elementary school, but I thought I could have to live in Seoul.” “My parents wanted a diplomat, a teacher, a nurse, a woman, and because I was a local (Daejeon) person, I thought that it was a different world from me, so I started my social life quickly (at the age of 20),” he said. Am I happy now, or if I don’t act, I will regret it.” His debut film, ‘72 Seconds Drama’ (2016), was his debut film, which he met after falling auditions countless times while attending an acting academy. The YouTube account on which this short was posted has now become a pilgrimage course for his fans. In addition to Season 2 of’If You Like It’, which will be aired this year, there are plenty of next films, such as’Youth of May’ (KBS2), a drama reunited with Lee Do-hyun and a lover, and’Jirisan’ (tvN), a drama that reunites with PD Lee Eung-bok.

He who became a hot topic with’Little Kim Min-hee and Jo Yoon-hee’ said, “I want to be imprinted as an actor’s worries rather than someone’s resemblance.” “I like actor Jang Man-ok, so I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies such as’High-Definition’ and’Hwa-Yang Yeonhwa’. I studied and watched a lot of acting as Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence. I like the characters, movies, and dramas where women are the subject, so I watch a lot and study how to make me look more attractive as an actor.”
