Actor Jung Ji-so (26) delivered a pleasant and lovely energy.

Jung Ji-so, who played singer-songwriter Lee Mi-sol, who gave up her dreams and love due to rare syndrome, in the music romance film 『Song of the Sun』 (directed by Cho Young-joon and produced by KMovie Studio). He met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 10th and expressed his affection for the work from the moment he appeared in Song of the Sun.

'Song of the Sun' is a story about a woman and a man who can only date in the middle of the night falling in love with each other through music and challenging to achieve their dreams together. "Song of the Sun", a remake of the Japanese movie of the same name directed by Norichiro Koizumi, which was released in 2007 and caused a sensation in Japanese youth romance, was adapted to fit Korean sentiment, focusing on the protagonist in his 20s who is living a fierce youth, unlike the original story about a fresh romance between a teenage girl and a boy. Between the agony that any young person would have experienced at least once and the cold reality, musician Lee Chan-hyuk participated as a music director to convey warm comfort and healing with the support given by the main characters.




In particular, director Bong Joon-ho's 『Parasite』, which is considered the best masterpiece in Korean film history, and Jung Ji-so, who revealed his presence through the Netflix original series 『The Glory" which received explosive responses from viewers, attracted attention by challenging authentic romance movies. Jung Ji-so led the film as a character with a rare disease XP syndrome that is unable to see sunlight in 'Song of the Sun'. In addition to Missol's delicate emotions, she sang the OST in the movie herself to shine the character.

On this day, Jung Ji-so "First of all, I like this genre so much. I liked music since I was young. Personally, I have a job as an actor, but I made music a hobby. Don't you think it's more fun when you do hobbies? You can't just be happy when you're working. But it's just fun to add a hobby to this kind of work. "It was so interesting and thankful that I studied my hobbies for free while doing my job." "I've tried musicals, a genre where I can work with music, but it hasn't been successful." As much as I like music, I want to do musicals. Don't other actors sing at fan meetings? I want to make a lot of my songs and have a fan meeting like a concert. Rather than specifying as an actor, I want to be an artist who can do whatever I want to do. I think there are some things that have solidified their image because they have only done too strong genres. I think they think they will only be able to play these roles, whether it's being put on evil spirits or being bullied. But I can act bright, too. I want you to know that I also have this side because of the song of the sun. I'm confident in Melo and acting in comedy," he said of the wind.

Jeong Ji-so, who says he puts a lot of effort into his work, said dieting is the most difficult among them, making the audience laugh. The station tries not to care about dieting in normal times. I like to eat so much that I usually eat it when I rest. I especially like whiskey. If you eat whiskey, don't you want to eat snacks, and if you eat snacks, don't you want to hangover the next day? If you do that, you'll gain weight. Once the work is decided, he works out hard a month before filming and eats only one meal a day, chicken breast. I live like that for about a month, but I'm not happy."




Then "Even now, I don't have to go on a diet, but I'm on a diet because of the stage greeting "Song of the Sun". 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' (Lee Se-hee's Trapped Tree) It was my first stage greeting, and of course, I thought it was a comfortable event where no pictures were taken. But all the fellow actors dressed up pretty. I was the only one who went with a very swollen face, but the fans wrote me a letter and told me. She told her TPOs such as "'Jiso, you have to dress up like that' 'You have to dress up like that' 'You have to dress up like that' ' So from the next day, I've been doing makeup and dieting little by little during the stage greeting"I shuddered.

Jeong Ji-so, who also expressed his strong trust in Cha Hak-yeon, who worked with Melo, continued to chat on the spot. Although he is old enough to be called a friend, it was comfortable to be with Cha Hak-yeon. At first, I was too older and tried to be polite, but Cha Hak-yeon approached me first and made me feel more comfortable. I didn't feel any distance while filming"It was my first major work, but at first, I was more excited than I was burdened. But as the shooting approached, it was getting more and more burdensome. I understood a lot if Hak-yeon knew that he felt a little bit of pressure next to me. Hak-yeon was the leader of a group and he knew how I felt more because he was active. I can't call it advice, but I gave him advice little by little" he expressed his gratitude.

In addition, Jung Ji-so said that it was not easy to act as an authentic melodrama for the first time "I was ashamed to say the melodrama line with my own mouth. But the character Missol is so cute and lovely on the one hand. The melodrama line felt natural to the cute and lovely child. However, when I saw the script for the first time, I saw the cheesy line and wondered if I could do it.




He said "I haven't been in a relationship much, but I was unfamiliar with Misol who was excited and awkward in front of a man, and since I couldn't do such a thing naturally, I calculated one by one and acted."But I'm not a single person. I'm a human being too, so I wouldn't have been in a relationship? If you have someone you like, you rather don't show it. And if you have someone you like, I'll go closer first and 'Hey, do you want to go out with me?' It was like a confession. On the contrary, I tend to go straight. I recently confessed, but it ended in failure. I'm a soloist now,' he replied honestly.

He also mentioned Jeong Ji-so's life work 'Parasite'. It seems that the station is more grateful than the burden of "Parasite". I was 20 when 'Parasite' was released. As the years go by, I feel more real that I have participated in a great work. I was just so grateful to have participated in the Parasite. And I also think that I can do various works now because of 'Parasite'. I'm so grateful that it was a work that gave me a lot of study. "I recently went to the family premiere of Director Bong Joon-ho's "Mickey17" and I saw Song Kang-ho of "Parasite" for the first time in a long time. But it was too late and they couldn't recognize me even when they looked at me, maybe because they only remembered me when I was young. In the meantime, time went by too much and I thought I couldn't recognize it. Of course, I thought even Bong Joon-ho wouldn't recognize me, but I greeted him like a flash, and he recognized me at once. Now that I think about it, it was a very thankful day when I was able to see Director Bong Joon Ho every day," he added.

Jung Ji-so, Cha Hak-yeon, Jung Woong-in, Jin Kyung, and Kwon Kwon-sol appeared in 'Song of the Sun', and director Cho Young-joon of 'Chaebi' took the megaphone. It will be released on the 11th.
