At a production briefing for the Netflix film 'Warts' held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 25th, Lim said 'Warts' to me is a work that is destined for me.'
'Warts', which will be released on the 26th, is a spin-off of the film 'Wil Bok-soon' (director Byun Sung-hyun) released on Netflix in 2023. It is an action film about the battle between the A-list killer mantis, who came back after a long vacation to the murder contract industry, his trainee colleague and rival Jay, and retired legend killer Dokgo for the No. 1 position, and director Lee Tae-sung took the megaphone.
Im Ji-wan, who played Hanul, an A-class killer of natural talent, said, "Isn't the presence of warts in the text of "" Gil Bok-soon". At that time, director Byun Sung-hyun contacted me asking if he could appear as a voice as a mantis, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. Since then, I have been given the name Warts. In a way, I wonder if the work 'Warts' was meant to have had no choice but to participate from birth. Since then, I've been waiting for the filming of 'Warts' to be destined," he said. Then he read the scenario and said, 'Oh, this is my fate.' I accepted that I was destined to suffer from action"I shuddered
When it comes to acting, it may seem professionally a villain or a dark role, but on the contrary, he is a stable character with warmth. I think I have to hide that warmth because of my professional nature, so I deliberately say it more tingly and curtly", he explained.
