Newcomer Cho Dae-hee (31) decorated the page of youth with a movie about queer '3670'.
Released on the 3rd, "3670" is a movie about an LGBTQ man from North Korea who experiences a cross between relationships and emotions through his South Korean friend Young-jun of the same age, and director Park Joon-ho took the megaphone.
'3670', which drew expectations with the joining of rising newcomers in Chungmuro, surpassed 10,000 cumulative viewers in just nine days after its release. Cho Dae-hee, who recently met Sports Chosun, said "When I came across it only in numbers, I didn't feel it, but I started to feel it little by little as I had a lot of GVs (conversations with audiences). I am thrilled that the audience showed a lot of interest and love for the work. Also, after the movie was released, there were a lot of fans. I keep going around the GV, and thank you so much for filling the auditorium."

Cho Dae-hee played Hyun-taek, the center of the LGBTQ community gathering, in the play. As for how he came to join the work, he called "The director watched a YouTube video of me acting and contacted me "I want to have a meeting". I was offered the role of Hyun-taek from the beginning, and as soon as I saw the script, I wanted to do it so much that I wanted to pull it off well."
As the genre is queer, when asked if there was any difficulty in preparing the work, he answered "There was no". Cho Dae-hee said "There was no pressure on the genre because there was no excessive touch in the work. In fact, Hyun-taek is a person who feels alienated even though he is the center of community meetings. It was interesting in the process of expressing such a character. Rather than being worried, I had fun filming" expressed satisfaction.

The title of the movie also makes me curious. '3670' means '7:00 at exit 6 of Jongro 3-ga Station. Cho Dae-hee said, "Before filming, I met the director and the two of them and went to a lot of bars and cafes (in the community)," and added, "I don't think it was just unfamiliar because the director also told me the meaning of the work." Then, regarding the part that focused on acting, "The director told me in advance what he thought was important. Hyun-taek was cold to Chul-jun in the early goal scene, but he had to send warm comfort and support. I looked cold on the outside, but I was soft on the inside, but I was grateful that the director saw me and casted me. I heard that the director wrote the scenario for five years, and this work seems to have been finished with writing."
I talked about the part where I put effort into not only acting but also visually. Cho Dae-hee said, "Hyun-taek is a hot insider character in the community, so he had to be attractive visually"I paid more attention to my skin care than usual, and I wore about half of my clothes."."
Hong Seok-cheon also attended the GV '3670' and cheered enthusiastically. Hong Seok-cheon, who saw the work, said "It's a story that can be like a typical queer movie if you do it wrong, but it was so good that the directors and actors approached it differently from the existing queer films with detailed directing and acting. K-Quar is the field that does not exist in Korea yet. K-quire will become more popular in the future. I am confident that the audience who filled the theater today will love '3670' and the actors as they feel"It was well received. Cho Dae-hee responded, "'I'm honored that Hong Seok-cheon watched the movie with interest.'" "If I have a chance, I hope I can appear in 'Hong Seok-cheon's Jewel Box' later." smiled.

Meanwhile, Cho Dae-hee played the role of a Jungwoo Ha child in the movie `Robbie' released in April this year. After filming, he signed an exclusive contract with Jungwoo Ha's agency, Workhouse Company, and was accompanied for a long time. He "Actually, it was a time when I wondered if I could continue acting. Any aspiring actor must have experienced it at least once. Realistically, I was wondering if I could be an actor and I wanted to audition for a child role of a Jungwoo Ha actor.' was contacted. So I asked him again, 'Is he a Jungwoo Ha actor I know?' and he said yes. I felt so good after answering the phone that I prepared for the audition lightly. I was going to quit acting anyway, so I spent about a month without thinking about it after auditioning, and I got a pass call. On the outside, I said thank you as if I were calm, but I hung up the phone and cried right on the spot. I've failed a lot of auditions so far, but I can't believe it. It was a moment when I felt that I was that happy and that I was more desperate for acting than I thoughtI felt reassured at the scene of "Lobby". Since my senior was in charge of directing, I gained a lot of confidence to think that he loved me."

Finally, Cho Dae-hee thanked the audience who watched '3670'. He "I think we all feel differently alienated. I hope you can face those points comfortably through our movie. It doesn't stop there, and I hope you get healed, and I hope it will be an opportunity to love yourself a little more. I'm proud to be able to play Hyun-taek and I'm deeply moved. I just played one character, and I'm glad you said you got comfort from watching the movie. Those reactions are so precious and I think I can work harder in the future."
