He met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 25th. 'There is nothing we can do about itexplained the appearance of '
Lee Seong-min said of his thoughts on the first day, "Now the festival is over." I think it's time to get a report card from the audience."
He can't help itAfter seeing the movie, I realized that I lacked imagination. I couldn't help itWhen I saw ', I thought it was this kind of work. When looking at the scenario, I thought it was a general narrative structure. I imagined that a person who lost his job would be seen as a story of killing his competitor, but it wasn't. It felt completely differently. The usual story is that if the audience is immersed in the protagonist and concentrates, this work cannot be pointed out, but it is a work that makes them uncomfortable and makes them distracted with laughter. Then, it is a movie that makes you look at what happened in it with a cool head and look at it with a sober mind. I think it's a work that makes me think even though I laugh and giggle. It seems that a unique development style of film has been made."
'There's nothing I can do about itHe was also adamant about how he came to appear on '. Lee Seong-min "First of all, the reason I chose this work was director Park Chan-wook. It was a director I wanted to work on someday. After receiving the scenario 'Oh my gosh, finally!'Then 'What should I do?' That's what I thought. At first, I received a scenario through the company, but the name of 'Director Park Chan-wook' was written on the first page. After receiving this work, I was worried about whether I could keep up with director Park Chan-wook's imagination. There must be a character that director Park Chan-wook envisions, but I was worried if I could be as creative as he imagined. At first, I thought I was Mansu, but after watching the movie, I'm glad I didn't do it. How am I going to endure that pressure?" he said with a smile.
Then, regarding his first breath with director Park Chan-wook "I actually didn't feel that he was much different from other directors. However, what I felt about director Park Chan-wook's speciality while filming was that the direction was razor-like. And I also wondered how I could avoid that razor blade well. Director Park Chan-wook was really delicate and sharp. Sometimes director Park Chan-wook's directing penetrates the things I was missing. I appreciate it when I tell you that. Usually, when I received such directions, I was glad and thankful to learn. It's to let you know who you miss, so wouldn't it be appreciated. In front of director Park Chan-wook, he reveals his weaknesses and becomes scared and passive. I was worried about what if this person was disappointed with my acting", he confessed.
'There's nothing I can do about it' is a story about an office worker whose life was satisfactory enough to feel that 'I've accomplished ' after he was fired, preparing for his own war against reemployment to protect his wife and two children, to protect his hard-won home. Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won appeared, and director Park Chan-wook of 'Old Boy'"'"Kind Geumja-si'"'"'"Lady"Decision to Break Up" took the megaphone.
