Lee Hye-young, who played the legendary killer sculpture that all killers admire and fear in the action film 'Fagua' (directed by Min Kyu-dong, produced by Soo Films). On the afternoon of the 28th, he met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and shared everything from the appearance process of 'Pagwa' to his collaboration with Kim Sung-chul as a mysterious killer bullfight chasing a sculpture.
'Department ' is a breathtaking bloody confrontation between a legendary killer who has been working for 40 years in the Sacred Quarantine, which deals with cockroach-like humans, and a mysterious killer who goes after him. It is a film version of the novel of the same name by writer Koo Byung-mo, who received favorable reviews as the most powerful female narrative in Korean novels.
In particular, 'Fagwa' drew a lot of attention this year as Lee Hye-young, a 63-year-old 'middle-aged actor', transformed into a killer with intense charisma. Focusing on an unprecedented character in his 60s, he played a hundred roles as the main character of 'Pagwa', which deals with a fascinating narrative that left fresh action and lingering effects.
The sculpture played by Lee Hye-young in the play is a legendary killer who has quarantined cockroach-like humans for more than 40 years and is revered as a legend among killers to the extent that he is called 'Godmother'. However, as time goes by, he is gradually treated like a dead man, and a mysterious killer bullfight (Kim Sung-chul) suddenly appears here, preparing for the last quarantine of his life. Lee Hye-young overcame her physical limitations, fully digested the action comprehensive gift set from swordsmanship, gunships, wires, and bare-bodied actions, and performed an irreplaceable performance with pieces in 'Dhagwa'.

In Chungmuro, the evaluation of Lee Hye-young, who led a difficult narrative of a woman in her 60s, is also different. In response, Lee Hye-young "First of all, I am grateful to the original author Koo Byung-mo for making this story. And I am also grateful to director Mingyu-dong, who is interested in these characters. However, as an actor, I don't think she's a woman. It's just one human being" he expressed his conviction.
He "I think the character is more important than anything else. It is usually called a female narrative, but I have never seriously considered the framework of 'Women's narrative'. Of course, when I first became an actor, actresses only played the relative role of men. It was mainly melodramatic, and actresses who were not suitable for melodrama are pushed out. It goes with a comical image or is depicted as a strong woman. It is right that I was also pushed out of the main camp in that sense. However, now there are more roles to play even if they are a little independent and not a relative woman. It's not just Korea. But I wonder if I should be happy about it. Doesn't it hurt your pride?"I was one of the actors who didn't have a partner. If you think about the taste of people who like me or the reason why I survived, I survived because I was a strong woman and an independent woman image. So I don't consider myself an actress. I am a human being. If it is already named a woman, it is a preconceived notion from then on. So I don't think this work is great because it's also a 'female narrative'."

He was hurt a lot in action. The first shooting was the action of falling into a pit in Itaewon, but while filming it, my ribs went out. The Itaewon shoot had to be finished in 2 nights and 3 days, so I put up with it and another rib went out. As I did this, my body broke down and I felt anxious and alone if the movie didn't come out properly. I kept getting injured while filming this work. I got an ankle injury just by filming a jogging scene. I had to go to the hospital no matter what the scene was"He confessed his grievances.
Then "It was hot, but I wore long underwear and kicked a protective band. Wearing a bandaged body, long johns, and putting protection on top of it again hindered everything I was immersed in acting. It was physically very difficult, and it was not easy to act at the boundary between emotion and skill. Still, I learned a lot from director Min. So far, I've done my own acting. On the one hand, it could be an old-fashioned act. The opponent waited until the emotion came up. When I think about it when I'm doing a drama, every director seems to have watched me a lot. Suddenly, when I said I would change it, the directors listened to everything I said. But Director Min didn't listen. Haven't you read the content?' 'About 100 staff members are all waiting for you' and got scolded. I met director Min and experienced a completely different world."
