Actor Jang Hye-jin recalled the time when she first read the scenario of the movie Master of the World.

Jang Hye-jin said at a press and distribution preview of the movie 『The Master of the World』 held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 15th,"When I saw the movie scenario, I felt that I was lucky to have formed a relationship with the director from a long time ago.'

Released on the 22nd, 『The Master of the World』 is a story between an insider and an attention seeker, an unknown 18-year-old high school girl owner begins to receive mysterious notes after rejecting a signature campaign involving all students alone. Director Yoon Ga-eun of 『Us』 and 『Our House" grabbed a megaphone.




Jang Hye-jin, who played Taeseon, the owner's mother, had a relationship with the director "We" and were in contact with each other frequently. The director is my most contacted acquaintance and colleague. We tell each other everything" he said.

Then, about how he joined the film "In fact, I knew director Yoon was writing a new script, but I didn't ask what kind of movie it was. But the director suddenly sent me the script and said 'You don't have to do it if you like it, but Taesun in my heart is older sister ' (laughs). I also told the director that it would be disappointing if there was an actor who received this scenario before me. I read the script, and it was so much fun. As I read the scenario, I became curious about what kind of kid the owner was. I also felt that I was fortunate to have formed a relationship with the director for a long time," he said.

Regarding the part that focused on acting, he also said, `I wanted to look like Tae-sun as much as possible, and I wanted to put down a lot of my usual self and naturally pretend it wasn't acting.'




Director Yoon responded, "'I was proposing politely, but I didn't know that I was pressured by my senior.'" From the time I wrote the script, my senior had already been cast in my head. If I say this, I think it would be burdensome, and 'You can refuse because you are a world-class actor, but now that I see it, I think I did well to put pressure on you unintentionally.'
