Fifteen years into his debut, Actor and singer Lee Seung-gi, 32, is still thirsty.
Recently, Lee Seung-gi met with reporters to conduct a round interview in commemoration of SBS gilt Drama VagaBond' (playplayplay by Jang Young-chul Jingyong-sun director Yoo In-sik). The VagaBond', which Ended on the 23rd, is an intelligence Action melody that digs into a huge national corruption hidden in a concealed truth by a man involved in a civil airliner crash.
It was the most anticipated work of SBS in 2019, with 25 billion won spent on production. As if to meet expectations, VagaBond' boasts a large blockbuster Down scale, delighting viewers' eyes, and forming a enthusiast with a chewy story that reverses the reversal. The last episode, which Ended with an open Ending as if it were in mind for Season 2, Ended with its highest audience rating of 9.3% in the first part, 11.7% in the second part, and 13.1% in the third part (based on Nielsen Korea's national furniture).
Lee Seung-gi played Cha Dal-gun from a stuntman in this Drama, which was trusted by viewers by the stars who showed off their unique presence such as Bae Ji, Moon Jung Hee, Shin Sung Rok, Lee Kyung Kyung and Moon Sung Geun. After losing his brother in an airplane crash, he digs into the truth and goes to the blade of revenge. He is the main character who stands in front of the Drama.
Lee Seung-gi, who started filming VagaBond' shortly after the military in 2017, said, "Before that, there was no work to say that it was actually an Action. Unfortunately, I went to the army as a special warrior and exercised a lot. I was confident at that time, so I could do VagaBond' under faith. I also wish I could use the training I had learned. In fact, there was a special martial arts in VagaBond. Anyway, Cha Dal-gun gave moderate strength to the Action part because of the civilian status Yi Gi "
As Lee Seung-gi explains, Chadalgeon is just a civilian from stuntman, not NIS agents or mercenaries. However, in the Drama, Cha Dal-gun always boasted of his ability to overcome the harsh mercenaries of international organizations.
Lee Seung-gi said, "The main character of Drama is more brilliant than the ability of reality." "This series" or "Mission Impossible" is also not. Dalgan is a stuntman from the Special Forces. He’ll be better at his body than any other agent. I was lucky to know how I never got shot. "
The biggest strength of VagaBond' was the speedy Action scene. Lee Seung-gi, who prayed for safety while shooting, said, "The Action scene was very diverse. I think I’ve taken things from a Drama, bare body, carchasing, and bombing. I’ve never really done Action. "I was really stiff, so I have the advantage of being more agile," he said. "I was really stiff. It seems to be quite fast because it is not flexible. That is the advantage. "
It is VagaBond', which received expectations and concerns in one body before the production, and the modifier "the first work chosen by Lee Seung-gi" added to the topic. In response, Lee Seung-gi said: "Without the cost of production, this work was very important to me: the first Top Model piece to be presented to the public in another Image after being discharged. The biggest thing I got from this work is that it seems to have broadened the spectrum of 'Action' beyond the meloDrama and romantic comedy Image I originally had. In fact, the cost of production is not enough to do something more just because I feel burdened. I tried to express the character of Cha Dal-gun because of the big work and important work Yi Gi in my position. "
"The results are satisfActory. I think we've achieved half of what we initially aimed for. Not in Yongdusami style, but consistently showing the Action sequence. Our goal was to show us the quality of the masterpiece Down Feelingss, the quality of Korea Drama. There seems to be no disagreement in that part. I don't hear about "Where's all the money spent." (Laughing) We're also unconsciously saying, "It's like a US Drama" while having a drink. VagaBond' can also be seen all over the world on Netflix, and I think if someone comes across, they will be interested in Korea Drama. I'm very pleased to have made such an occasion."
When I asked Lee Seung-gi how to practice acting, he said, "Sometimes I look in the mirror and try to remember my expression, trying to make my face match my Feelings. Even if it is not Drama, if you want to be impressed by everyday life, you run to the bathroom as it is. Even when you talk, you are aware of what Feelingss you are talking to your opponent. You can not shoot videos. I am trying to shoot a video, but all the Feelingss are broken. "
However, Lee Seung-gi said, "It is always a part of the entertainment Image that hardens." I really like and love entertainment. The occasion for the leap is the entertainment "one night and two days." It is also awkward to say that he wants to perform more and that he will "no more entertainment and only act." I wish there were entertainers of Feelingss like entertainers who take all three things from the perspective of diversity. Nowadays, all societies are curlavers and crosses. It is not the age of going to One Way only; it seems to be a guideline for juniors. "
What do you think of the title of "Umchina Image" as the entertainment industry leader? Lee Seung-gi, who has not allowed a single controversy since his debut, said, "I think I'm lucky once. I am not as good and right as the public thinks, but I think you want to believe that. I am afraid of it, so I am careful. I do not think that I have come back a little better because of that. "In fact, there are many people who are more self-management than me. I don't let go completely. I always have a certain degree of anxiety. I saw some people living like that in All The Butlers'. Compared to those people, I am just living. "
Slumps have also steadily come to Lee Seung-gi, who says, "It's not out there, but it keeps coming at any right time. Once after debuting, once before 'one night and two days', once before going to the army. "It is always coming, holding on, and overcoming time. There seems to be no way to overcome the slump. It is not something that is wrong. If you wait and hold it, it will pass like an upgrade. "
"The past is the past. The glory of good times is not in my heart. I just remember. I always want to achieve Top Model. I always start with zero-setting. I'm surprised I'm not tired. I think this is a job. I don’t want to quit doing a project in my career, and I think I have something to show for my age and year. Your passion changes differently for your age.”
In particular, Lee Seung-gi said, "Lee Seung-gi, who was popular online, has seen the post of Lee Seung-gi is a victim of natural disasters'. I haven’t seen a typhoon in Korea in years, but I just cut off my ticket to Jeju Island, and it was canceled because of heavy rain. I’d like to tell you that the weather is lucky. I’m not avoiding war. I think you will be greatly hurt by relying on it. "
Lee Seung-gi, who has yet to decide on his next film, will concentrate on resting for the time being at the same time as the VagaBond' End, adding: "I'll rest well, I'll also go on a trip. I've run so much in 2019, and at the End of December, there's a reserve," he said, giving a laugh to the End.
"I think I need to rest a lot, I need to put it Down, I used to want to be Top Model, I wanted to prove my skills and be recognized. I've been running for 15 years and I get Feelingss that there are a lot of output but lack of input. I think I should go without greed. "
Meanwhile, Lee Seung-gi and the reporters interviewed about a week before End. Lee Seung-gi of the time told viewers waiting for the last episode, "There will be an impact of the event, I hope the ratings will not drop, and it will be as good as now. I hope you can watch the audience without leaving. The 15th and 16th reversals are really huge.
