"President, difficult Character, difficulty"... the troubles of Jung Woo-sung, who changed his role.
Steel Rain 2, which is scheduled to open on the 29th, is being kidnapped by President of the Republic of Korea (Jung Woo-sung), North Korea's top leader, Chairman of the State Council (Yoo Yeon-seok), and United States of America (Angus McFadden) who met to conclude the North Korea Peace Agreement. Draws an unexpected Summit that takes place. This <Steel Rain 2> is about the Korean Peninsula inter-Korean relations like the movie <Steel Rain> released in 2017, but it is not a sequel to the contents. "It's a complementary sequel," explained director Woo-seok Yang.
"After the collapse of the Cold War system in 1991, (international) patterns changed, but still for more than 30 years, Korean Peninsula is in Danger. In 2017, the war Danger was inevitably approaching, so I wanted to see what Korea could do if it could decide (on its own). So, I solved the story cinematically through two Cheolwoo (Jung Woo-sung, Kwak Do-won).
Actors starring Jung Woo-sung and Kwak Do-won, who starred in the first episode of "Steel Rain", appeared as they were, but their roles were completely different. Jung Woo-sung, who played the role of North Korea's most elite agent, Uhm Chul-woo, has been divided into President Han Kyung-jae, who dreams of signing a peace treaty. Jung Woo-sung said, "Suddenly, I thought, 'Why do you keep throwing homework at me?' I had a lot of trouble to decide to do it. "Jung Woo-sung said he was Acting with reference to the previous presidents who led the Summit.
"It was a Character that was really hard to prepare - I was having trouble getting to know how to approach it. I looked at the history of the presidents who led the North and South Summits and referred to what sentiments they looked at in Korean Peninsula. I think I thought a lot about my personal philosophy or my mission as a politician. What kind of perspective did the presidents who were looking at the future of Korean Peninsula, compassion for our nation and history, lead the Summit? I tried to find out the sentiments of President Han Gyeong-jae in that part of the story. "
Kwak Do-won, who was the senior presidential secretary for foreign affairs and security in the first episode, transforms into Park Jin-woo, the director of the North Korean hardline escort, who opposes the abandonment of nuclear weapons and the establishment of a peace regime. In the movie, he leads a coup and kidnaps three leaders with nuclear submarines, making the situation extreme. Kwak Do-won said, "I was expecting that the bishop would do <Steel Rain 2>, so I would be president or class."
He then said: "I thought (Park Jin-woo) should not be a villain and I took an Act. I thought that I represented one of the two conflicting positions that North Korea shows on the world stage. I had a lot of troubles (before I took over the role), but the scenario was so fun. I was looking forward to the full change in the role with the first. I was curious because I was the first North Korea military role. "
"As Actors change their camp and act, I wanted to show you the irony that even if the South and North positions change, the current system is unlikely to change," said Woo-seok Yang, director of the major Actors. "Instead, the Actors who came out of United States of America, China and Japan in the first episode are Acting. Even if the South and the North change, the external fActors have not changed, so two more than one may come more sadly. "
Yoo Yeon-seok, who has been Acting as North Korea's chairman of the State Council, has joined the new Steel Rain 2. Yoo Yeon-seok confessed that he tried to draw 'anguish as a young man who came to the top leadership position at a young age' within the cinematic imagination.
The joint inter-Korean liaison office was blown up in June, and North Korea's offensive against South Korea continues every day. The South-North relationship, which has been in a sharp downturn, may be a bad external condition for the movie Steel Rain 2. Director Woo-seok Yang emphasized that he nevertheless included the film "Gaya" as a peace regime.
"I think that after the Cold War collapsed, inter-Korean relations had changed little; the answer was clear and it was reconciliation mode, tension mode, and a spiral of the pattern. However, if there is a big change in the last two to three years, there is exactly Korean Peninsula between the US and China. The pattern of the roadblock should be broken now. Maybe Gaya will be built by peace.
As many will understand, the tension and division of the Korean Peninsula is beneficial to all but the Korean Peninsula party. It is hard to blame it for being morally bad. It is actually returning to the national interest. But tension and conflict are pain for us living in Korean Peninsula. For us to prosper, the peace regime will be a very good enough condition. But we cannot go (to peace) on our own, trying to melt those contents into the work as much as we can."
On the other hand, Actors and Woo-seok Yang showed concern about opening the movie in a situation where the number of audiences looking for the theater was very reduced due to the spread of 'Corona 19'. Director Woo-seok Yang said, "We are doing a much more thorough prevention in the theater than you think. I would like to say that you are coming to me, but if you want to see the results of our efforts as best as possible, please wear a mask and come to the theater. " Jung Woo-sung also told the audience about the audience.
"Maybe the 'corona 19' is affecting our entire lives - there's an uneasy mind about opening a movie at this time. I am worried and old-fashioned that you should enjoy the movie safely when you come to the theater. I do not know what will happen, but I met the fate of the movie on the 29th. I would like you to wear a mask and enjoy the movie safely for those who visit the theater. "
