Director Byun Sung-hyun talked about the reaction of actor Seol Kyung-gu who watched the movie Good News.

Director Byun Sung-hyun met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 21st and said "The senior watched this movie and said "It's the most fun among yours."

The Netflix movie "Good News" 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, with director Byun Sung-hyun of "Bulhan: The World of the Bad guys" and "Kingmaker" and "Gil Bok-soon" taking the megaphone.




Director Byun said, "(Among my filmography), I received the most calls from people involved, directors, and actors after the movie was released. Thank you for evaluating it as the best movie among my films. "Of course, I can see some regrets when I edit it, but there were no regrets this time. What was unfortunate was that I would have made the same choice if I went back to that time. I feel like I've demonstrated 100% of my ability this time,' he said.

Regarding the difference from the previous film, "Gil Bok-soon" was the first movie to try, and viewers' likes and dislikes were clearly divided""I wanted to show my best organs in "Good News""

Seol Kyung-gu and Seol worked together for the fourth time with 'Good News' following 'Bulhan', 'Kingmaker', and 'Gil Bok-soon'. Director Byun said, `I like Oral as an actor and I'm a huge fan. But we talked a lot about whether it would be right to do it together again this time. You must have felt pressured because I had to bring out a new side of my senior, and he had to show a new side of me in my movie. Nevertheless, he said, "I thought I could find an answer to this, so I came to do it together."




Then, about his work with Seol Kyung-gu "I was very satisfied again this time. During the test shoot, I asked my senior to walk in makeup. In the scenario, it was written that it was a bent nasolabial step, but when I saw him walking, I thought 'Oh, the senior understood the character'"He confessed.

Regarding Seol Kyung-gu's reaction to seeing the 'Good News', he said that "It's the funniest of yours". Seniors are always short on comments. You said 'Is it a commercial movie?'It's good for 'Kingmaker'? But I don't think it's going to work out. When he said 'Gil Bok-soon', he said 'Byeon Sung-hyun is a B-class director' He complimented me in a curt way this time, and I was so happy. I think I got a positive answer from my senior for the first time."
