Yoo Jun-sang “I immediately accepted the 39-year-old role… Thank you for the reaction that I want to call you brother.”

OCN’s’Wonderful Rumors’, which ended on the 24th, was a series of surprises in many ways. OCN recorded the highest viewership rating (9.3%) in history in 8 episodes, and it was updated to 11% in 16 episodes, confirming the production of season 2. Although Jang Yi’s original webtoon was popular, with a cumulative number of views of 140 million, it is not that high compared to the original webtoon of Netflix’Sweet Home’ (500 million times) or tvN’Goddess Advent’ (4 billion times). This is because they have a rather complicated worldview, such as’Counters’, a demon hunter,’Yong’, which is the boundary between this and the next, and’Yungin’ who protects this place. There are rumors and Dohana, Cho Byeong-gyu and Kim Se-jeong, are twenty-five ages, but Yeom Hye-ran, who plays Chu Mae-ok, is in her 40s, Yoo Jun-sang as Gamo-tak, and Ahn Seok-hwan, who plays Choi Jang-mul, is in her 60s. It is composed of unique heroes.

Actor Yoo Joon-sang (52), who met in writing after the end of the show, said, “I can do it unconditionally” to PD Yoo Yoo’s words, “I’m a 39-year-old cast, can you do that?” The second question, “Can you make a’king’ character?” was immediately followed by’making a body’. “I do my usual care, but I don’t always have abs and back muscles like Gamotak. However, as I entered this work, I worked out steadily for about 4 months to show the perfect figure. Rather than just building muscles, I wanted to improve my flexibility through various exercises such as Pilates, Boxing, and Tennis.” Stimulated by his figure of making a body with a body fat percentage of 3%, Cho Byeong-gyu also finished preparatory exercises for hard action, such as losing 10 kg.

In particular, more training was required to digest Gamotak, who is in charge of superpower. “Once I was in my late 30s, I couldn’t say that I was sick even though I was sick at the scene. haha. Since I can’t get hurt, I started with Parkour training and did a lot of high-level training. When I act in action, I can inevitably get hurt and hurt a lot, but this time my resilience is amazingly fast, so it quickly got better.” He picked the scene of a duel with Taeshin Cho (Lee Do-yeop), chairman of the 14th Taeshin Group as a memorable scene. “It seems that lines such as’You have to be soft,”It’s my creed to kill so that you don’t die’,’Let’s go a little longer,’ etc. It wasn’t in the script, but it was in the webtoon, so I wanted to write it. So I consulted with the director and made the scene.”

In recent years, he has mainly played family plays such as JTBC’s’Elegant Friends’ (2020) and KBS2’s’What’s wrong’ (2019) with middle-aged men. Blown. “I thought I could show you a new and fresh story that I haven’t seen before. There are character traits already drawn in the webtoon, so I tried to find the personality of the drama while saving it. In Season 2, I want to capture more demons by calling the ground and using my mind like a rumor.” He added, “It was fun and thankful,” he said, saying, “I’m older than my mom and dad, but I want to call them brother and brother.”

Although she is learning her job, she was invited to the panorama section of the Busan International Film Festival with her third film’Spring Song’ as a film director in October last year. Last month, she was invited to the new album’Travel Project 4. In Africa’ of the two-member band J&Joy 20 with Junhwa Lee. The schedule of’Bukkae’, such as the release, is also tight. The opening of the musical’The Days’ is also ahead on the 2nd of next month. “When things overlap, I try to solve them like untying a knot one by one. If I did my best by focusing on the things I had to do right now, everything was well finished in the end. And after doing so many things, I think I’ve come up with a habit of preparing in advance. For example, if you are filming a movie in 3 years, you have created a song or story that will be used in that movie. The schedules seem overlapping, but they’ve been thinking and preparing for a very long time, so we don’t deal with them in a hurry.”

He explained, “If making a movie is to unfold the story in my head, the singer’s activity is a work to express the emotions accumulated in me.” His films, such as’Things I Learn from You’ (2016),’It’s Not Over’ (2018), and’Spring Song’, are all about music travel. It contains the journey to the South Sea, the United States, and Japan, respectively. He chose South America as the place he would like to work on next. “I originally planned to go to South America for my fourth movie, but because of Corona, I promised a few years later. Fortunately, people in South America watched a lot of’wonderful rumors’ through Netflix. Wouldn’t it be nice to welcome you when you go to shoot in South America? I think it will be so much fun at that time. I’m still making songs on the piano in my spare time, and I’d like to release a music album someday.”
