Actor Kim Hak Chul presented an extraordinary picture reminiscent of Joker in the April issue of the magazine Maxim.
Kim Hak Chul, who started his career as a theater Actor, appeared as General Park Sul-hee of 'Taejo Wanggun' at the end of his long obscurity, and captivated the public with his unique comic and pleasant acting. Since then, he has been loved by many rich supporting Actors such as General Black Sudol of 'Daejo Young' and Dr. Cho Byung-ok of 'Yain Age'. Earlier this year, he opened a personal YouTube channel called Kim Hak Chul TV' and suddenly announced his YouTuber debut, attracting attention by exceeding 10,000 subscribers in a week.
Maxim Kang Ji-jung, editor of the magazine, said, "Even though I am a middle-aged Actor, I was impressed by the insight that I have turned to a one-person YouTuber." Maxim was inspired by Kim Hak Chul's move and filmed a dramatic picture of Joker's makeup, which depicts the joys and limitations of comedy in the media, and the struggle of resistance.
Kim Hak Chul showed off an explosive emotional performance that contradicted a ridiculous clown makeup; photographer Lee Jin-ho, who was in charge of filming the photo, said: "It's intense. I like it the most among the pictures I have worked on in recent years. "
In an interview after the filming, I was able to get a glimpse of Kim Hak Chul's humorous but serious philosophy. When asked about the turn to a one-man YouTuber, he said, "There was no other occasion. YouTube is the most developed media now, so I just jumped on it. " "The reason why my channel succeeded is because it deals with the desire of being honest and raw without editing unlike the existing broadcasting program."
Kim Hak Chul decided to appear in the magazine Maxim because "Maxim photography is another audition for me. I wanted to show the younger generation that Actor, who received the Blue Dragon Film Award, is struggling to get public attention without resting. "
