The movie 'Virus', which will be released on May 7, tells the story of Taek-sun, who is infected with a 100% mortality rate virus that falls in love for no reason, with Mossol researcher essay, longtime alumni Yeon-woo, and Lee Kyun, the only expert who can make a cure, and director Kang Yi-kwan took the megaphone.
Kang worked with the actors for the first time in the movie 'Virus'. He said "Isn't Mr. Bae Doo-na such a great actor that world-class directors want to work with?" I was surprised that he acted passionately in this movie as well. Senior Kim Yun-seok was truly 'Master of Acting', so it felt like he was naturally absorbed even if he was still. Jang Ki-ha asked himself to rate him, but he can give him 5 out of 5 without hesitation. He was very serious and sincere in filming, and it was impressive to see that he carefully checked the results and prepared thoroughly even after the show was over," he praised.

Bae Doo-na also came back as a lovely character after a long time. Playing Ok Taek-sun, an English translator infected with the virus in the play, he thought it was very quirky while reading the scenario, and on the other hand, there was something I could relate to. I thought there was such a series of processes in which love comes and heals like a virus. I've been doing a lot of criminal and zombie movies, so I had a thirst for bright and brilliant genres"And when I heard that Kim Yun-seok was participating, I replaced my senior with Lee Gyun's character and read it, and it was so fun."
When asked how he felt about working with Kim Yun-seok for the first time, Bae Doo-na said, `It was my first work with a senior I've been looking forward to, and it was so good. I once said that after I finished working on this movie, he said that Yoon-seok is a magical person who makes the other actor act well. If I have a chance later, I want to enjoy that kind of luck again," he replied.

Kim Yun-seok plays Lee Kyun, the only researcher who can make a cure for the virus. When he first received the scenario, he enjoyed reading about how he came to join the work. This scenario is very rare, unique, and difficult to meet. "I've played a doctor for the first time in a long time, and it was interesting to have an emotional state that I couldn't believe was true love or a symptom of (the virus)," he said.
Kim Yun-seok, who filmed the kiss scene with Bae Doo-na, then laughed by explaining, `It's an action scene, not a love scene.' He "At that time, I was wearing a tie, but Mr. Bae Doo-na didn't know that, and I was strangled because he wrapped his hand and pulled it. Bae Doo-na's immersion is so powerful (laughs). I couldn't get out of it while filming, and I felt like I was going to get dizzy. Fortunately, I made the cut and moved on. "I had a lot of fun when I filmed that scene, and I wondered when I would be able to act such a scene at this age."

Jang Ki-ha became an elementary school classmate of Taek-sun, who was infected with the virus, and turned into a car dealer, Yeon-woo. He said "By the time I took a break from Jang Ki-ha and the Faces band, I was contacted by the casting out of the blue and wondered what was going on. As Bae Doo-na said earlier, when I read the scenario after receiving it, 'Love and viruses have a lot in common, why didn't I think of that?' I thought, "I've never been in a movie, and I told him that I won't be able to appear because it's a lot more than I thought. Afterwards, senior Kim Yun-seok contacted me and expressed his gratitude, saying, `People in the movie industry are people who do their jobs properly, and I'll make a board on my own, so let's play and go' and gain strength.'

After filming in 2019, 'Virus' met with the audience for the first time in six years. Kim Yun-seok "I'm happy but scared. The world has changed a lot since we shot this movie. It probably doesn't feel real if it's not for the director and the actors. Who knew that protective clothing or PCR tests would become a daily routine? "The theater is a place full of energy where a large number of unspecified people can gather and laugh and talk. I hope many people watch the movie at the theater"I asked for expectations.
