Netflix's original series 'Gwangjang' (played by organic Kim Joon-hyun, directed by Choi Sung-eun) is a noir action drama in which Ki-jun (So Ji-seop), who cut his Achilles tendon and left the world of Gwangjang, returns after 11 years after the death of his younger brother Ki-seok (Lee Joon-hyuk), who was the organization's No. 2 man, to dig up the background for revenge. 'Gwangjang' is popular in 44 countries around the world, ranking second in the global TOP 10 series (non-English).
So Ji-seop met with Sports Chosun on the 12th and said, `It's my first time watching a Netflix series, so I don't know (the reaction) yet. I don't get any actual responses, so I think they'll tell me if I keep watching"There are things that are felt by the eyes, but the global cannot confirm it. However, it feels like people are looking at it well. And all the acquaintances around me said that my arms were bent inward and that it was fun, he said.
'Gwangjang' is the first work of the authentic noir genre in 13 years by So Ji-seop. I wore action clothes for the first time in a long time since the movie 'office worker'. So Ji-seop "I like noir and I like the action of bumping my body. The noir script is actually very precious. In terms of works, one or two works a year are not available or not. I was so grateful when this scenario came in to me. I didn't know the original before, but I watched the webtoon after watching the scenario first. I wondered if I would be okay. I was worried because there were more actions than I thought. I thought about whether I could make it feel similar to the original."
Subsequently, So Ji-seop "My joints got a little (bad) because I was a little older." Fortunately, I went to my head safely without getting hurt while filming, but my body was going half a beat late." So Ji-seop also said, `I usually exercise, so I didn't have much physical problems. Depending on the design of the action, it was different whether it could be done or not. Basically, I'm doing gym and boxing together."
When asked why Nam Ki-jun went to So Ji-seop, So Ji-seop "Didn't he come to me because of the image I've built up so far?" There is no standard character than I thought, but I think that similar part was given to me. It seems that the existing image and the actual image overlap similarly. I think it's similar to the phrase " (that's why he gave it to me.' My hairstyle is different, but I don't want to take it out (here). I don't think I was the number one. Thank you for calling me the 0th most cast member. I have that image, and it's so nice to see me like that."
He also went on a diet to completely melt into the male standard. So Ji-seop "I was on a diet because of the work, but I was on a diet because there was a big difference between the standard and me. I also wanted to give some 'Shake' in the process of proceeding. When filming, I control my food and lose weight?Q. Before the start, it was 95kg, but at the end, it was in the 70kg range. I think I lost about 3kg while filming."
He performed most of the action himself. Among all these high-level actions, 7-80% are actions made by So Ji-seop himself. So Ji-seop "If you think about the number of people, I think I fought with about 100 people. It was hard, but it wasn't easy when I was acting with a real fighter. It felt like a weapon to touch my body, so I had a hard time with my energy. "I like all the actions I did, but the first thing I do after the action is to pray "thank you" 'I'm grateful that it ended without anyone getting hurt. What I did myself is about 7-80%, but these days I can't do everything just because I really want to do it. It seems to be distributed clearly. It's important to come out well on the screen."

Recently, as 'I'm sorry, I love you' was mentioned again on tvN 'PyongPyongPyong Earth Entertainment Room 3', it is also trending among the younger generation. In response, So Ji-seop "It used to be burdensome. If you say that, it was a little burdensome to talk about 'Miss' and ask me to say a famous line, but now that I think about it again, I'm grateful for that. These days, they do everything they ask. I'm so grateful, and I'm so happy that it was an opportunity for young people to watch old dramas again."
Subsequently, So Ji-seop looks at "I also sometimes see "Missa". When you need new acting energy, or when you're in trouble, you have that kind of energy back thenI'm watching because I want to feel what I want to do" and "I feel like I just did my best to act without thinking, and now I have a lot to pay attention to and a lot to be seen" he said.
So Ji-seop "I'm thinking a lot about it. I'm not an actor. As a result, it now seems to look similar no matter what. What can I do, is it right to find a new face? Even though it's new, you see it similarly, so I think I'm worried about whether I should do what I'm good at in the future. I don't think there's an answer."
So Ji-seop also told fans waiting for her next album, "I will think about it if the album comes out well only if "Gwangjang" goes well." The music video is embarrassing even if we film it, but "I sing in the space where I meet my fans, and if I had the opportunity to do that, I would play a new song. It's not just because I want to sing. Of course, that's what I want to do (singing), but it raised expectations for my 10th album.
