Joo Hyun-young met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 27th and said, "It was my first time seeing a big screen, so I saw a lack of it."I was worried that the image of entertainment would interfere with immersion. "
Joo Hyun-young will make her screen debut in the movie `Stranger Train' (director Tak Se-woong). Joo Hyun-young, who made her name and face widely known as the main character of 'SNL Korea', has been gaining experience in acting through recent dramas such as 'Weird Lawyer Woo Young-woo', 'Surviving as a Celebrity Manager', and 'Yeolnyeo Park's Contract Marriage'.
This time, he has become a leading movie actor in earnest through 'Stranger Train', raising expectations. 'Stranger Train' is a mystery horror film in which Da-kyung (Joo Hyun-young), a thirsty horror YouTuber, encounters a terrible incident while digging into the secrets of Gwanglim Station, where mysterious disappearances occur one after another.
Joo Hyun-young said "It was the first time acting was seen on such a big screen. The drama and the acting method were different. I was more worried than excited. But it wasn't bad. I wanted to perform raw on the big screen, but I don't think so. "I showed my lack of ability." He expressed his feelings about his debut as a leading actor on the screen.
Attention is also drawn to the fact that he chose a horror movie as his first major movie on screen. Joo Hyun-young said, `At first, I only asked myself a simple question, 'How scary would it be when I went through an extreme situation, how would it be seen on the screen?' but when I took it, I kept filming the same scene. After repeating it a few times, it wasn't scary, he laughed and said, `I thought that the actors' performances in horror movies were acting that required a high degree of concentration.'
In the meantime, about horror movies "I've loved horror movies since I was a child. There was also something that made me have a lot of imagination while watching. The beginning of the movie I liked and looked for was the old horror movies. If I were to become an actor, I wanted to film a horror movie someday, but I wanted to catch it quickly because the opportunity came quickly", expressing satisfaction.
However, in terms of filming the first horror movie "I've just started and it's my first time watching a horror movie, so I thought it would be insufficient." Also, I kept thinking about what I lacked in the thought of being the main character. It seemed to be conscious of whether he was trying to imitate the existing horror movie actors. Still, you helped me a lot, so naturally the worries and worries disappeared."
As it gets hotter, other horror movies are also about to be released. Joo Hyun-young said "We are omnibuses, so I think you can see it with a much lighter mind. Isn't it the time to enjoy contents in various ways. The charm of omnibus movies is to continue to eat certain snacks in different flavors, so there seems to be a variety of charms", and pointed out the charm of 'Stranger Train".

Then "The channel is a content that receives the stories of viewers and tells the true story. There is a signature expression that Da-kyung says in the script, and I asked what you would do if you were Jolie. I'm going to use this gesture, but based on the horror YouTuber, is it making me cringe?', 'Do you think it's going to work out?' I asked him about his back. Other than that, I also asked about profit structure. The world was new, he recalled.
In the meantime, "I actually set the signature comment more excessively, but Jolie said that I think I can make it lighter these days. So it was just enough to feel cute. When the movie comes out, they said it would be good to promote it on our channel. "
As for the love line with Choi Bomin in the play "Bomin is too handsome, but she is too gentle." I didn't feel that it was Bo Min's first movie. He's younger than me, but he's mature. He showed great concentration in the field. He constantly talked to the director. If there was anything I didn't understand, I kept asking the director and he was passionate. At the same time, I came to work hard with passion.'
As it received great love for its pleasant image through 'SNL Korea', it seems that the acting of the horror movie was also burdensome. Joo Hyun-young said "The first concern was whether a bright and entertainment image would interfere with immersion, and it was a long-lasting concern. But that worry won't help me. Even if it takes time, I thought I should show you what kind of character I am," he confessed honestly.
At the same time, "But the public is looking forward to it, and it doesn't seem like they're trying to rule it out too much and not show it. Of course, it's a horror movie, but I think I wanted to show you the comic part light and fun. I think it was possible, not too heavy a movie."
The movie 'Stranger Train' will be released on July 9 (Wednesday).
