[The Fact ㅣ Reporter Kim Saet-byeol ] The actors' acting was nothing to be ashamed of. What matters, however, is whether Gentleman convinces the audience early on and leads them all the way to the end.
The press conference and press conference for Wave's first original film 'Gentleman' (directed by Kim Kyung-won) was held at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st. Director Kim Kyung-won and actors Ju Ji-hoon, Park Seong-woon, and Choi Seong-eun were at the scene.
'Gentleman' is a criminal entertainment drama in which Ji Hyeon-soo (Joo Ji-hoon), the head of a secret agency with a 100% success rate, pretends to be a prosecutor to find customers go missing and chase bad guys regardless of whether they are illegal or legal.
The work begins with a script containing the uniqueness of director Kim - who is responsible for writing the script and directing. He said, "It's not a work with a specific reference. I get confused when people around me ask what kind of work it is."
"After thinking about the visuals to some degree, the work on the script started. The word 'Gentleman' felt fake and outdated to me. It reminded me of a vest shop or A bar in an alley. And a man who seems to have many stories going between them. It is a story that begins with the image of “.
Regarding the reason for the title 'Gentlemen', instead of giving a clear answer, he gave a somewhat unclear answer: "You guys will know how it feels to watch the movie". Director Kim said, "I want to use a word that has a complex and ironic feeling. 'Gentleman' is what it is to me. It's a comprehensive consideration of how it feels to watch and step out of the film." . , but you will feel it when you watch the movie.”
Director Kim also revealed that he worked with an emphasis on the audience's position after the main character. “Because there are parts of our work that are not genre-definable, we wanted to show them through devices and lines so they could be convinced,” he said.

In the play, Joo Ji-hoon plays Ji Hyun-soo, who pretends to be a prosecutor to escape false accusations while solving an assigned case. Park Seong-woong announced the birth of another villain, Kwon Do-hoon, a former aristocratic prosecutor and conglomerate at a law firm. Seongeun Choi begins to play the role of Kim Hwa-jin, a malicious prosecutor who once bitten will never let go and is Ji Hyun-soo's helper.
Ju Ji-hoon said, "When the director first gave me the script, he wrote down all the music's titles in situations where key scenes or rhythms were needed. I played the corresponding music. with each scene and read the script." can clearly feel what eyes the director will draw and what atmosphere. Although the production cost is not high, I have a feeling that with such atmosphere and feeling, a work that is interesting enough will come out."
On the other hand, Park Seong-woong had no intention of participating in this work from the very beginning. It was Ju Ji-hoon who convinced Park Seong-woong. Park Seong-woong confessed, "I turned it down after seeing the script for the first time. I wasn't confident because there were many similar villains in the meantime." He continued, "Actor Joo Ji-hoon said that he saw me when he read the script and convinced me. I decided to join him and re-read the script. I didn't know that. such a good movie will come out. Today, I also got lost in watching it from the audience's point of view."
However, as mentioned earlier, it was Park Sung Woong who had to play a similar villain. Is there any part he focuses on in this piece? Park Seong-woong said, "I wanted to look like an impenetrable wall. That's why I wanted the excitement to be doubled by Kwon Do-hoon's demise at the end." He also added, "I paid attention to the clothes and decorations of the pension. I think the pension decorated like a forest shows 30% of Kwon Do-hoon."
Choi Sung-eun, a new monster, also joins the cast. I'm also curious about the three actors' breathing. Seongeun Choi said, "During the first filming, I was very nervous and nervous. On the other hand, when I watched Ju Ji-hoon's acting, I felt that he seemed comfortable. More than anything, I felt that Ju Ji-hoon had eyes to see the whole thing," and said that he was able to learn a lot.
About Park Seong-woong, he said, "It's really uncomfortable because it's a confrontational relationship in the context of the work.

On the other hand, Park Seong-woong revealed that there weren't many scenes with other actors. He said, "Most of the scenes were shot alone. I met Seongeun Choi twice, and Jihoon Ju only once." nothing."
He continued, "I only acted once in the retirement scene with Ju Ji-hoon, but I thought, 'Why would he act so rough?'" and made everyone laugh. He added, “After watching the drama today, I feel that Ji-hoon planned everything.”
Another attraction of 'Gentleman' is the puppy Wing that appears in the beginning. In response, director Kim and the actors shared their breaths with Wing. In particular, the appearance of those who gave Wing the very honorable title also created a warm feeling.
First, director Kim said, "I don't know how to express my gratitude to Wing because he did a great job on set. Everyone on set applauded and cheered when the performance was up. Wing's performance is over."
Joo Ji-hoon said, "Wing Ong is older than us in terms of age. Even on set, he always uses honorifics and gives snacks with both hands. Wing Ong is really a natural dog. Whether he knew the camera or not, Hyeon-su's feelings were at the right point where I'm grateful that he acted like a ghost when I had to let he watched instead."
'Gentlemen' will hit theaters on the 28th and will be released via Wave after that.
