Take off your first love face and become an action woman...Greta Lee, the first heroine in the Tron series (comprehensive)



Korean-American actor Greta Lee shed her image of her first love through the movie `Tron: Ares' and returned as an intense action woman.

The press conference for the movie 'Tron: Ares' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 15th. Actor Greta Lee attended the scene.

Released on Oct. 8, 'Tron: Ares' is an overwhelming visual action blockbuster about an uncontrollable crisis that begins with the emergence of the highly intelligent AI weapon Ares from the virtual world to the real world, and is directed by Joachim Roening, who directed 'Maleficent 2' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Dead Don't Have Words'.




Greta Lee commented on her first visit to Korea "I can't believe I'm here. It means so much to me. I've been acting for a long time, but I never imagined coming to Korea with a Hollywood movie like 'Tron: Ares'. Isn't he the first Korean protagonist in the `Tron' series. "He asked me what I thought about starting a press tour in Korea, and I told him that I should come without any worries."

Greta Lee plays Yves Kim, CEO of IT company Encom and one of the world's most accomplished programmers. He "I had to use my body a lot in this work. The stunt action was difficult, and I became humbled while preparing. 'Fast Lives' was static, and if you did an emotional performance that looked inside the character, 'Tron: Areth' was special because you could use your body."

He then complained about the preparation process for the action scene, "'My running skills have improved, and I can participate in the Olympics.'" If you don't run properly in every running scene, you could die. Olympians also train a lot, but don't they do more than 20 full-time runs?"




'Tron: Areth' captures an original cyberpunk worldview and a spectacular scale that crosses virtual and real life. Greta Lee tried to focus on the character's humanity, the human being itself, on the acting-focused part"The movie should be for everyone. Yves Kim is analytical and intelligent but a normal person compared to my true self. I wanted to portray the process of a normal person in an extraordinary situation and exerting superhuman power," he said.

He then shared his feelings after completing his first work with director Joachim Lening. Greta Lee "When I think about my work with the director, I have nothing but good things to talk about. In order to produce a film of this scale properly, specific requirements are needed as a director, and he met all of those points. When you look at the completeness of the production of 'Tron: Ares', you can see that it is the highest level compared to anything else."

I'm very excited because I think these are just the beginning, both as an actor and as an individual. I can't wait to see how much greater the world will find" he expressed his delight.
