Kim Eui-sung met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 28th and said, `I felt it since I monitored it on the spot, but after seeing the results, I didn't know the character would be so messed up.'
Released on April 2nd, 'Lobby' tells the story of Changwook (Jungwoo Ha), the CEO of a startup who only knew about research, starting his first lobbying golf to win a national project worth 4 trillion won. Jungwoo Ha took the megaphone as a director following 'Rollercoaster' and 'Heo Samgwan'.
In the play, Choi, a veteran civil servant, is a person who embraces black heart with false fan sentiment toward professional golfer Jin Pro (Kang Hae-rim). In response, Kim Eui-sung strongly sympathized with the media premiere, saying "The most unfavorable character ever."
Kim Eui-sung 'From monitoring in the field, 'What is this?' "I wanted to..." "No matter how many people point their fingers at the character, I wanted to love her (laughs). Otherwise, who will love you. Chief Choi has a flaw, but in the rest of the part, he is a positive person and would have wanted to look good to his or her favorite person. But even considering that, the result was too serious (laughs). I decided to be careful in my daily life as well. I shouldn't try to look cool to others. I should just live a simple, humble, harmless life," he said.
Then "I understand Chief Choi's feelings, but I can't forgive him. I probably became a fan after watching 10 terra of JinPro, and I felt sorry that someone who was too close to me and close to me was in a slump. In fact, when female golfers hit a ball at a golf course, they said that the men would correct their poses like that. He added, "I would have thought it was good faith, but he showed how terrible it was when that good faith was objectified through the film."
He played the role of 'The Dog + The Man' in the play, said "When I read the script, I was worried about whether I could play this role well, but everyone laughed at the insignificant thing. I worked hard because I thought I could do the Jungwoo Ha as it is. I'm not good at golf, but I practiced a lot because everyone around me played. In the movie, Chief Choi had a long oral history, but he didn't have a good posture because it was a bad old man's setting. I just played golf like this all the timeI was just trying to give you the feeling of '."
