Joo Hyun-young said at the press and distribution premiere of the movie 'Strange Train' held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 24th, `I consulted the actual horror YouTube channel operator to play the horror YouTuber.'
Released on July 2, 'Stranger Train' is a mystery horror film in which Da-kyung, a horror YouTuber thirsty for views, encounters a terrible incident while digging into the secrets of Gwanglim Station, where mysterious disappearances occur one after another, and director Tak Se-woong, who directed 'Guimot', took the megaphone.
Joo Hyun-young is attracting expectations from prospective audiences by announcing her screen debut through 'Stranger Train'. He said "The first movie didn't have to be a horror genre, but thankfully the opportunity came. "I've loved horror movies since I was a child, but watching various contents has given me a lot of inspiration and my imagination," he said. "I shouldn't do that, but my parents threw my books and comic books out of the veranda of my house on a rainy day, saying, "Fear is not good for emotions.""
Previously, Joo Hyun-young was much loved by viewers as an MZ employee through the series 'SNL Korea'. Playing Da-kyung, a horror YouTuber in the play, he said, `I didn't think Da-kyung was a representative character of the MZ generation. I actually enjoy watching horror YouTube channels, and they're not from the MZ generation either (lol). Apart from this, I thought I needed to know each and every process of how horror YouTubers cover, so I contacted them immediately and asked for advice. It's a little slow, but I wanted to show my new side to the audience quickly."
