Lee Je-hoon delivered his thoughts on playing Choi In-beom, an employee of a global investment company who seeks only results, in an interview with the human film 『Soju War" (produced by The Lamp) on the morning of the 2nd.
Lee Je-hoon "In the process of continuing to live as an actor, I always try to live with great interest in how the world works. The beings that make up the world are humans and are always interested in a series of processes in which many humans form relationships and live. So I try to look into the news and newspapers and what are people interested in these days?' I'm thinking about it. I always think about how to live, and in that sense, I think I sympathized a lot with 'Soju War' and Choi In-beom. I think I was more interested and empathetic because I am running management now. I was glad that it was a movie that was very consistent with my current concerns and values. And when I met the JTBC drama 'The Art of Negotiation', which recently ended, I felt more sympathetic.
As it is a work dealing with alcohol, the amount of alcohol was not missed. Lee Je-hoon "On the contrary, when filming the work, I didn't enjoy company dinners. There was also a part where I took care of myself because I was concentrating on my work. However, in the process of promoting it, the top soju in the movie was produced and introduced, and there were more opportunities to drink it. I use such an opportunity to break my heart. I recently appeared on Chef Ahn Sung-jae's channel, and I think he drank surprisingly on the spot. I had to move to the next schedule while drinking, but that was a little hard. "I usually drink a can of beer and half a bottle of soju. When I entered university in the past, I remember curiously opening a bottle of soju and drinking it in front of countless people. I flirted with it, but my memory disappeared in less than an hour. My head ached like a crack the next day. The next day, I was afraid of what I didn't remember, and after that, I made my determination not to be dignified with alcohol."
Regarding the process of digesting English lines full of difficult economic terms, it was also regrettable that freedom disappeared on its own and there were restrictions on ad-libs. I tried to make the given lines as perfect as possible, but it was more difficult because it was not a daily line but a difficult economic term. It was an unforgettable line that even came out in my dreams."
'Soju War' is a story about the 1997 IMF financial crisis, in which a soju company is a life-time financial director, and an employee of a global investment company who pursues only profits confronts the fate of the Korean people's soju. Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Je-hoon, Son Hyun-joo, and Choi Young-joon appeared. It was released on the 30th of last month.
