Director Byun Sung-hyun said at a Netflix movie 'Good News' production briefing held at Dongdaemun Square in JW Marriott, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 14th, `I hate to see Kyung-gu come out wearing a suit after 'I'm angry: The world of bad guys'"
'Good News', which will be released on the 17th, is a movie about the suspicious operation of people who gathered in one place to land a hijacked plane in the 1970s, and director Byun Sung-hyun of 'Bulhan: The World of Bad Guys' (hereinafter 'Bulhan', 'Kingmaker', and 'Gil Bok-soon' took the megaphone.
Director Byun said, "'Good News' is a screenplay based on the airplane hijacking that took place in the 1970s. But it didn't completely follow the true story. I tried to melt the story I wanted to tell and the story that can be used by the current generation into the work"I recreated and directed several characters, and I worked with the actors" he explained.
'Good News' received a lot of attention even before it was released. The special presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival and the official invitation of the 30th Busan International Film Festival Gala Presentation met with audiences from all over the world. Director Byun said, `There were many English-speaking audiences in Toronto, so I wondered if they could understand (what I intended), but I was glad that they responded from the beginning.'
Seol Kyung-gu worked with him for the fourth time with 'Good News' following 'Bulhan', 'Kingmaker', and 'Gil Bok-soon'. Director Byun said, "'As I worked with the same actor and four works in a row, I had no choice but to build up my worries and think a lot. I talked to my senior Oral about 'Is it right for us to do this?' I also thought about it, but I think I got a hint while writing the Amog character. I don't want to see him (laughs) even though he's been wearing the same suit since 'I can't stop crying'. I'm not that kind of person at all, but I wanted to bring it up. I studied the characters by looking up the previous works of Oral senior"I was convinced just by the way the senior walked."
