The 'Killer Report' was a unique cinematic concept of interviewing a serial killer. Director Cho said "When I first talked to people around me after planning the scenario, everyone said they were crazy. I've heard a lot about who will invest in it and what kind of actor will appear. But I thought I could do it," he said.

Regarding the intention of directing the work "Isn't there such a saying since a long time ago. I really only beat one guy. Rather, I thought that if I locked up the actors and extracted what I could do as much as possible, I could conceive a form of a story that I had not seen before"Of course, the lack of movement of space and the absence of various characters may also serve as a weakness, but on the contrary, it seems that I was able to concentrate and concentrate on only one thing. Rather than leaning on the visual stimuli shown in existing thrillers or suspense films, I thought the play would become richer as it was filled with the dilemma of the two characters", he explained.

Cho Yo-jung and Jung Sung-il predicted intense breathing through the 「Killer Report」. Cho Yo-jung played reporter Baek Sun-joo, who is engaged in a one-on-one interview with a serial killer because she is desperate for a scoop. When he first saw the scenario, he thought 'It's possible for two hours in this format. I wanted to avoid it because I thought it would be difficult to act because it was a format I had never seen before, but I still wanted to challenge myself. I went on an adventure, and I felt that I was lucky to go on an adventure," he said.

He appeared as a reporter in the play, saying, `Each actor has different styles, but I personally imagine a lot. I wanted to make use of the characteristics of the profession I saw, heard and felt in my life"I tried to imagine and act by focusing on the situation that the shipowner was in."

Jung Sung-il, who played Lee Young-hoon, a serial killer and psychiatrist, fell in love with the scenario when he first saw it. If the actors act well and the director directs well, the audience will be able to fall in love with it. There was no reason why I didn't do it" he said.

He then shared his feelings about playing a serial killer for the first time. Jung Sung-il "Actually, I don't understand the serial killer. However, the professionalism of the profession 'Doctor' was not considered important. Of course, it can be said that he studied psychology, but when I discussed it with the director, I felt that the character Younghoon should be clearly expressed. I also thought about how to attract a reporter named Baek Seon-ju."

Jung Sung-il was much loved by viewers around the world for his original Netflix series The Glory. He has been active since then, saying, "'The Glory' has not gone well because of me. I was lucky to participate in a good work. In the meantime, I have chosen works that can show various aspects such as 'Jeon, Lan' and 'Trigger', but I don't think the choice is wrong or wrong. Of course, not all works will go well, but I hope that 'Killer Report' will go well and become a new masterpiece. I did my best not to regret it, so regardless of the result, it is a work that leaves no regrets at all."

Some of the lines have been edited."I actually wanted to kill (director Cho Young-joon)," he said, painting the scene with laughter.

Then "I wondered if this person was giving us this amount of metabolism in his bare mind." I had no choice but to memorize all the lines in a barrel. That gives me the power to go all the way. I had no choice but to memorize everything because I was filming what happened in a day. But I was thankful that Taehan came out from time to time to breathe," he said with a smile.
