At the press and distribution premiere of the movie 'People and Meat' held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 23rd, Jang Yong said, `I hesitated to join because my character was written 'Dry Usyk' in the scenario.'
Released on October 7, 『People and Meat』 is a story of a pleasant life in which three elderly people who happen to be united go out to eat meat for free and have a delicious life adventure, and director Yang Jong-hyun took the megaphone.
The role of Woo-sik, an emotional grandmother, played Jang Yong, Korea's representative national father, and played a quirky yet pleasant character. He read the script for the first time and simply thought 'It's funny' No-nonsense is not trying to justify criminal acts, but how much older people wanted to eat meat. Maybe the writer wanted to feed these old people meat (laughs). Everyone has no money, but they want to eat meat, and it was good to see each other getting closer while studying how to get out of this situation safely. So I decided to appear. However, it's not in the movie, but I hesitated a little (laughs) because my character in the scenario says 'Dry Usyk with the cart." I don't think I'm skinny. I told director Yang 'I was wrong', and he said there was a way. He said, "I joined Woo-sik because he wanted to make him look like a puffy flesh, not just fat by making his sick complexion darker."
