[The Fact｜Reporter Park Ji-yoon] Age is a number. The stage for 12-year-old
Lee Joo-won, who still likes to play with friends, is not a playground but a
screen. Although he is creating a character based on his imagination in each
work, he prides himself on acting skills that are not inferior to adult actors.
That's why I'm looking forward to seeing what activities he will participate in
in the future and will grow up and gain a lot of experience.
The movie "Owl" (directed by Ahn Tae-jin), which was
released on the 23rd of last month, is a horror film depicting the struggle of
a blind acupuncturist who can only see at night, reveal the truth after
witnessing the death of the prince. This is the directorial debut of Ahn
Tae-jin, an assistant director of the movie 'The King and the Clown.'
Yoo Hae-jin plays King In-jo, who goes insane after the death of
the prince. Ryu Jun-yeol plays the blind acupuncturist Kyung-soo, who discovers
the secret of the incident and tells the truth. Here, actors Kim Seong-chul,
Ahn Eun-jin, Choi Moo-sung, Jo Seong-ha, and Park Myung-hun participated to
increase the level of immersion in the play.
In particular, The Owl has topped the box office for 21
consecutive days after its release, reaching the longest record among films
released in 2022. In addition, the cumulative number of viewers exceeded 3
million in the first released, which shows the undiminished appeal of the box
office.

While 'Owl' captivated audiences with its actors' passionate
acting and suspenseful plot, child actor Lee Joo Won's performance cannot be
ignored. Lee Joo-won, who plays Seok-cheol, the eldest son of Crown Prince
Sohyeon (played by Kim Seong-cheol) and Kang-bin (played by Jo Yoon-seo), added
life to the play as a naive child and took away the tears of viewers when
begging Kyung Soo to save his mother.
Lee Joo-won, who met <The Fact> on the 14th, first expressed
gratitude for the public's interest and passionate love, saying, "I check
the audience number as soon as I wake up in the morning."
After seeing the work three times, he thoroughly enjoyed the film
as a spectator in the first and evaluated his performance as an actor in the
second. Third, Lee Joo-won, who created memories while watching it with
friends, added, "I'm good at controlling my emotions. I know the ending,
so I wanted to spoil it for my friends, but I held back."
When it comes to his acting, he's assertive and sharp. But after
that, remembering the time he watched the movie with his friends, he smiled
brightly, revealing the innocence of an elementary school student and
attracting attention.
Lee Joo-won auditioned and participated in 'Owl.' In order to
understand the background of the original son who grew up without seeing his parents,
he analyzed the emotions when writing by hand and grasped the situation of the
times when reading history books. He explained, "I tried to make up for
the unfortunate points during my acting practice with the director after being
selected."
Lee Joo-won said that his ideal type is actress Yoo Hae-jin, and

Lee Joo-won showed a unique presence every time he appeared. Among
them, the scene where Won-son hugged Kyung-soo and cried for help to save his
mother was deeply engraved in the minds of many viewers.
"It was a really important scene. Actor Park Myung-hoon and
actor Ryu Jun-yeol acted sincerely so that I could focus on acting."
The 'Owl' setting, where he works with trusted actors such as Yu
Hae-jin, Ryu Jun-yeol, and Kim Seong-chul, is a good nurturing and learning
place for Lee Joo-won. In particular, the reversed appearance of Yoo Hae-jin,
who left the impression of "a funny and humorous actor" when watching
on TV, came to Lee Joo-won as a point to imitate.
"Actor Haejin Yoo was constantly reading the script and
practicing on set so I couldn't talk to him. This time, actor Haejin Yoo became
my ideal type. He didn't let go script until before filming I thought I should
follow his example. I called actor Ryu Jun-yeol "hyung," but I was
surprised because his legs are so long. The movie was in the summer, and it was
so hot, but he lent me a fan and was considerate. I thought that actor Kim
Seong-cheol was a quiet person, but I was surprised by his intelligence.
he."
Lee Joo-won, born in 2011, is 12 years old this year. Close to
television from a young age, he began to dream of becoming an actor when he
happened to see his co-stars. Lee Joo-won said, "I don't remember the job
exactly, but it was wonderful and wonderful. I asked my mother, 'Can you do it
too?,' and she said, 'Think about it. one more day.' It starts from
there," he said.

In this way, Lee Joo-won built a solid film and received attention
as a next-generation child actor. Despite his young age, he has shown unlimited
genre-digesting through various works, so he's even more excited about what
kind of actor he will develop into in the future. Lee Joo-won, who has never
dreamed of another job since starting acting, expressed her extraordinary
determination, saying, "I want to become an actor who can speak with his
eyes."
"In historical dramas, I try to look at the situation of the
times, and in modern dramas, I try to compare the situation. It's a bit
difficult when I meet a character in a situation that I haven't seen myself in.
'Impossible' is the most memorable for me. There are so many things I haven't
experienced. I have tried. I fell into the river in the middle of winter and
the snow was up to my thighs. Also, in 'Sisyphus,' I was a psychopath with a
strange spirit world, but the first time, I received praise for my acting.
Also, this time, I received a lot of compliments and support for his
performance in 'The Owl.' A lot. This is the first movie that audiences have
seen."
"I think a person's emotions are revealed in the eyes. They
are the only part that can't be molded. The eyes don't change. I want to be an
actor who can sympathize and grieve with eyes that don't change.
