Kang Ha-neul met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 21st and said, `The temperament is very different from that of Woosung.'
The Netflix film '84 square meters', which was released on the 18th, is an unpredictable thriller in which a young man Woo-sung, who succeeded in buying his house with an 84 square meter apartment, suffers from unknown inter-floor noise, and director Kim Tae-joon of the movie 'I only dropped my smartphone' took the megaphone.
Kang Ha-neul said "My cousin said he had a similar experience after watching the movie, and his heart hurt so much (laughs). Since the subject matter is realistic, I think such a reaction came out. Usually, when my family watches my movie, they tell me that they enjoyed it, but this time, they told me that they were too stressed out."
Kang Ha-neul played Woo-sung, a 30-something office worker who invested in debt that attracted the soul. In response, he said, "Woosung's character is understandable, but he did not sympathize. It's so different from my temperament. I'm not the type to focus on everything. I've always known the word 'young-klejok', but with this acting, I've learned a more accurate meaning. "What I wanted to express the most is the fierceness of a person who can go all in, but isn't there the misery that comes when that fierceness goes out. I wanted to draw it. The character explanation was also written like that in the actual script.
In the meantime, "I'm not the type to do (coins, stock investments, etc.). My friends say I'm a fool, but I don't use a credit card and use a debit card, so how can I care about that. Outside of acting, there are many hobbies. The reason why I don't come out of the house is because I do everything I can inside the house. I like to play games and watch documentaries, I like to read books, I like to clean up," he added.
He also revealed that he gained weight to increase the synchronicity with the character. Kang Ha-neul "In the movie, Woosung always eats instant food, and doesn't it look messy with snack crumbs on the floor?" I didn't think it would suit me if my body was slim or I looked after it""I wanted to wear clothes that are common so that it is not strange when I encounter them while collecting clothes in front of my house." I purposely put on no makeup to look like a person living around him."
