Kim Soo-hyun, former director of Real, opened an audition for forced exposure.



The former director of the film Real, starring actor Kim Soo-hyun and produced and directed by his cousin and current agency CEO Irobe, has provided further explanations for the forced exposure audition of the film, which is being re-examined as Sulli's excessive exposure scene.

Director Lee Jung-seop, who was the early director of the movie 'Real' on the 29th, responded to a user's request on his SNS account that "Please first explain the experiences of participating in open auditions for actors circulating on SNS." The user is "The content of the open audition is quite inappropriate and out of common sense. The explanation 'movie practice' is a ridiculous cliché and frankly no one makes a movie this way these days. B-list movies..."

Director Lee Jung-seop responded, "'I'm not qualified for an official explanation because I don't have a 'Director' credit.'" Still, in the article, the production team prevented me from appearing on the scene in the early stages of this audition"For fairness, I was excluded from that selection site." "I was able to meet the final eight actors selected by the production team, and I picked one of them myself, and Han Ji-eun, a rookie at the time, was accepted as an actor and had fun filming with me as the main character," he explained.




In addition, actor Cho Woo-jin, who was a rookie at the time, was also selected by audition, and I first met him at the VIP premiere before the release of 'Insiders' and interviewed and casted his work together " I got to work with the two actors through an open audition. However, this also explained that I do not have the qualification to explain because I do not have a real 'Director' credit."

According to the open audition data of 'Real', high-level exposure performance is mandatory in the screening for two main actors. It is stated that those who are impossible cannot apply for the role of the heroine. The applicants were limited to aspiring new actors and actresses aged 19 to 33.

On the Internet, there are reviews of applicants who claim to have taken the audition screening. Netizens claiming to have applied for the 'Real' auditions were held at the Octagon Club during the 'Real' open audition. Audition instructions are to attend in club attire enjoyed at the club. Since broad daylight, young actresses have lined up in front of Nonhyeon intersection in revealing costumes, and the club has been filled with young women dancing, clinging to the bar and doing their best to cast the film," he said.




In another review, "There is usually one free performance at an audition, but there was nothing like that. The lights went out and the audition started, and some cameras were walking around and taking pictures. I was scared that it would be filmed even though it was an audition, and I decided to go home and left, but the guard official who was guarding in front of the door said 'Why are you leaving already?' Like a guest who came to play. It's a really weird and uncomfortable audition.

In addition, coach Lee Jung-seop wrote on his account that Director Won was not at fault for Sulli's excessive exposure to bedscene "Thank you." It's been really sad for a long time," he wrote.

In addition, on the 14th, when Kim Soo-hyun made an official statement refuting rumors of a minor relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron, he wrote, `You have to apologize to the deceased first, it's a person, nothing has changed, it's evolved viciously.'




In addition, Kim Sae-ron's ex-boyfriend reposted an article criticizing the claim that Kim Sae-ron's death was due to the bereaved family, and left an angry article saying "Same operation, desecration"Trauma CX".

Head coach Lee Jung-seop reposted the position that the late Kim Sae-ron failed to issue and "I feel so bad." It's painful."

Kim Soo-hyun, former director of Real, opened an audition for forced exposure.
He said "So many of my lovely friends have died. When I think of them, I seem to have managed to survive being mean and cowardly. This is too low a world to be sane," he said, expressing his terrible feelings.

On the 28th, Sulli's brother delivered a statement to Kim Soo-hyun's agency and urged a quick answer, drawing renewed attention. Sulli asked Kim Soo-hyun's Lee Sa-rang (currently Irobe) to answer Kim Soo-hyun's position that the bad scene between her younger brother Sulli and Kim Soo-hyun was not originally specified in the script, and why she forced the bed scene and the nudity scene to Sulli's nudity scene at the time of filming, and why she did not come out because she was sick.

Meanwhile, there is evidence that Kim Soo-hyun has been dating Kim Sae-ron since he was a minor, but a few days ago, he changed his words "Kim Sae-ron dated for a year or two when he was an adult" and received a statement from Sulli's bereaved family as he remained silent on further evidence.

I don't have the "Director" credit, so I'm not qualified for an official explanation.

Still, in the article, the production team prevented me from appearing on the scene in the early stages of this audition. For fairness, I was excluded from the selection. I was able to meet the final eight actors selected by the production team, and I picked one of them myself, and Han Ji-eun, a rookie at the time, was accepted as an actor and I had a fun time filming.

Also, actor Cho Woo-jin, who was a rookie at the time, also auditioned and picked him, and I met him for the first time at the VIP premiere before the release and interviewed and casted his work together.

I got to work with two actors through a public audition.

But I don't have the credentials to explain this because I don't have a real "director" credit
