Director Cho Young-joon said in the movie 'Killer Report' held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 12th, `I want the audience to judge which characters are good and evil after watching the movie.'
Released on Sept. 5, 「Killer Report" is a story about psychiatrist Younghoon asking veteran reporter Sun-joo, who is thirsty for a scoop, for an interview in which he confesses to serial murder, and director Cho Young-joon of"Chabbi" and"Song of the Sun" took the megaphone.
'Killer Report' is a unique subject of a one-on-one close-up interview with a serial killer, depicting a tense psychological game between a reporter and a killer. Director Cho said, `From the beginning, I started writing the scenario with the character of a reporter and a serial killer. When I went to the zoo before, I saw a child watching a tiger"I thought a different atmosphere would be created if the bars blocking the gap moved to the back. I wanted to talk about the tension that two people create in one space," he said.
He also said why he cast Cho Yo-jung and Jung Sung-il. Director Cho "I didn't want to portray the two actors as flat characters while casting them. I thought it would be nice to have both human aspects, just a difference in metaphors, with one good figure and the other evil figure"In that sense, Baek Seon-ju fits exactly with Cho Yeo-jeong and Lee Young-hoon. As you can see from the movie, the decision on which of the two characters is good and evil will be made by the audience themselves, raising expectations.
