Kang Mal-geum met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 27th and said, `The director gave me a big shock with dollars or yen after every script reading.'
"Lobby", which will be released on April 2, tells the story of Chang-wook (Jungwoo Ha), the CEO of a startup company who only knew about research, who starts his first lobbying golf to win a national project worth 4 trillion won (approx. Jungwoo Ha took the megaphone as a director following 'Rollercoaster' and 'Heo Samgwan'. Kang Mal-geum plays the role of a minister who is not interested in practical affairs but has great ambition.
Regarding the Jungwoo Ha he met as a director, Kang Mal-geum said, `Even if I really don't try to praise him, I can't help but not. I personally liked it while doing this work. I met a person named the director and felt 'love' and 'energy' as an actor. Also, I think he will be a big pillar for me in my future career as an actor. I had my first meeting the summer before last year, and I didn't see you when I edited it, but recently promoted it and it deepened again. "It's great how you can direct three works as an actor. I think the word `artist' suits the director.
He then expressed his respect for the actor Jungwoo Ha, not the director. Jungwoo Ha filmed for one day in a shade house with the director. He plays such a strong role and is stronger than anyone else. I was in a position to include this person, but I was worried. I'm the best and Changwook is Eul, and I wonder how I can handle such a big actor. But after filming it, there was nothing to worry about. The director was also completely immersed in the role and lowered himself. I was also scared because he was a good actor, but he never gave me the feeling that he was being evaluated. Even if the actor was not in good condition or was not ready, he/she monitored it with an affectionate eye."
In particular, 'Robbie' has conducted script reading several times than other works. Kang Mal-geum "Normally, other works only have one full reading, but 'Robbie' has conducted the entire script reading 10 times." I participated from the 5th session to the end, and it was very difficult. But it was such a beneficial time. Since there are many actors, I thought it would be nice if the action point would be faster depending on the situation, but the director recommended YouTube channels 'Shortbox' and 'Adult' and said he would like me to act at this speed. I really wanted that part, too"If actors go back and forth to read the script again, doesn't it cost money?" The director gave me a big shock, sometimes in dollars and sometimes in yen. He did a pleasant little event every time."
