Set in the 1990s, when Go was regarded as the best brain sport, "Victory" is a work made using Go legends Cho Hoon-hyun and Lee Chang-ho, recognized by the world, as real models. Cho Hoon-hyun, who led South Korea to a Go powerhouse, lost the Go match after accepting Lee Chang-ho, who was famous as a Go prodigy, as a handmade player, and shed light on the life of Cho Hoon-hyun, a matchmaker who returns to his position of desperation to renew his foundation and tries to win the top place again (hereinafter referred to as Cho Hoon-hyun's interview with Kook-soo).
▶ What it felt like when you were offered a film adaptation of the match of the century that shook the Go world, the story between priests and priests.
"At first, I thought about how to make this Go story. In fact, Go itself is very difficult to draw because you just sit and think in your head. Other sports, such as sports, for example, martial arts, are easy to draw, but Go is an event that needs to be brought up because it is carried out in the head. I was worried about how this could be talked about, and secondly, I was most worried about how the person's name would react when it was also in my name
▶ How do you feel after watching the movie.
"It reminds me of the old days. Oh, I wonder if I was like that at that time. Lee Byung-hun acted so well that the meaning was conveyed well"
▶ Lee Byung-hun is said to have studied not only the achievements and stories of noodles but also fashion and habits in order to play the role of Cho Hoon-hyun noodles well. How was Cho Hoon-hyun, played by Lee Byung-hun?
"Actually, Go is really hard to draw. Go is internal, not external. Still, it represented me a lot. 'Huh? I was like that a long time ago? It was that kind of atmosphere. I feel like. I think it's a great acting to have the atmosphere of that time and to have acted appropriately for it
▶ How did you see the costumes of 'Cho Hoon-hyun' in the movie? If you predict the reactions of your family, friends, and fans who know the actual noodles well?
"I heard you cared a lot about your clothes. Actually, I didn't care about the outfit at the time. Usually, my wife did everything for me, so I would wear it and leave. My clothes change a lot when I watch the movie. Now I think someone who knows after watching the movie will contact me. Whether it's good or what the story is about. But honestly, people who know won't say anything bad. No matter how bad you look at it 'I enjoyed it, it was fun ' I'm curious about the reactions of those who don't know Go and don't know Cho Hoon-hyun. myself"
▶ What is the most similar and different part of Cho Hoon-hyun expressed in the movie?
"I learned something from my teacher. I passed it on to Lee Chang-ho. A teacher doesn't teach, he just leads. Let's go that way. When I watch a movie, I get scolded, but it's a movie, so it's not really. Lee Changho grew up like that and did a good job on his own. I didn't teach him that well"
▶ How do you feel about watching the game between the priests and the priests on the screen?
"The movie reminded me of the old days? I actually drew it almost the same. Pain when you lose a game or pain when you fight again. I was actually curious about how to draw that and how to act, but I think it was very good. Of course, the movie is not as good as the real thing, but most of them are good. So personally, I'm satisfied"
▶ What was your favorite or most impressive scene as the main character of the actual movie?
"It's a little different from the real thing, but I liked the process of teaching Lee Chang-ho, a student, and such scenes."
▶ He is the best Go player and the best fighter of this era that cannot be explained without a description of legend. The first condition for the game is 'Geise', and it is important for a competitor to show confident momentum in any game. Does Cho Hoon-hyun Noodles in 2025 still feel the same way?
"Now that I'm back down from the front line, I think I'll think a little differently. At that time, I only studied for the top, fought for it, and I was confident because I was young. I did it because I had to, but now I don't follow even if I want to. Still, I would like to recommend young people to try hard, such as spirit or study. It's not really a big deal, but I think it would be good to study or gain experience. Someday it will help. I've experienced that something may seem like a nonsense now that I think about it, but in the end, something helps. So I think that if I learn everything and try hard, I think I'll move forward"
▶ Just as Cho Hoon-hyun noodles had a great influence on Lee Chang-ho's life, Lee Chang-ho noodles are likely to have a great influence on Cho Hoon-hyun's life. When you look back, how did it affect you as a human being and as a colleague and junior Go driver?
"First of all, I didn't teach anything, but because I became the number one player in the world in Go, and I grew up, no matter how much I teach about it, I can't help but study without trying. I am more grateful to be such a teacher. Also, I don't think I'm being cursed at by others. When a disciple is criticized, as well as himself, as a teacher, he actually taught it wrong. So, I think you should be satisfied with being a student who doesn't get criticized and being the number one because you're good at it"
▶ "When I was young, I didn't hesitate to play tough games to keep the top, but now I left the game. I only live my life through Go" What is the attitude and enlightenment of life that you learned through Go?
"There is no end to enlightenment. I don't think there's any such thing as 'let's stop there'. If I do it. Now it's continuing to move forward, it's moving forward. So the more you go up, the more difficult it is. If you break through it again, another wall will be blocked. If you break through that, you have to go up. You can come this far. You can realize it I don't think so. People have their own walls and their limitations. That's why you learn endlessly. So I don't know how much longer I'll live in the future, but I'm most curious about how much I realized when I died, and what kind of life I've lived. No matter what kind of day I live, no matter what I live for a year or 10 years, I have a mindset that I will continue to move forward in my own way. Since there's no pause, it's over. I don't think that's it"
▶ Please explain the mindset of the noodles that is the motto of 'I'm not mindful, I'm emptying out my personal greed, and I do my best in my normal life'.
A"Actually, there are a lot of accidents because everything is greedy, I think. You have to win Go, of course, but you have to win. And when you have to make a little profit here, there is a lot of reversal. You just need to play it properly, but if you want to win more here, there is a lot of reversal. That's why I call it composure. So, calmness, indifference, it's almost the same thing. You have to look at the situation exactly without being greedy. It's not only about Go, but also my life, and it's about seeing exactly what my situation is like right now. That's why I'm giving up my greed. The first thing is not just thinking about anything, but not being greedy and looking at my current situation properly. In a shaking situation, not being shaken in a situation outside of it. That's indifference, but it's not easy as long as you're a person. My thoughts keep shaking in my life. So, when you work hard, you should look at this as a level of composure or indifference, not being swayed"
▶ Lastly, if there's anything to say to the audience.
"I've seen it too, but it's fun. There's also a part that rings a bit. I can feel it in my heart. Anyway, I enjoyed watching it."
