Jung Woo-sung “If you are conscious of being cool, you will lose your cool… “The evaluation of others is important” [Comprehensive interview]

(Xports News Reporter Yoon Hyun-ji) Actor Jung Woo-sung, who is full of ‘taste’, talked about what he thinks of himself as ‘taste’.

On the morning of the 21st, an interview with Jung Woo-sung, who appeared in the movie ‘Spring in Seoul’ (directed by Kim Seong-su), was conducted at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.

‘Spring in Seoul’ is a film depicting the 9 hours of desperate action to prevent a revolt by the new military forces that occurred in the capital city of Seoul on December 12, 1979.

Jung Woo-sung plays the role of Lee Tae-shin, a capital security commander with faith and loyalty.

‘Spring in Seoul’ has been receiving favorable reviews even before its release through media previews and GVs. Jung Woo-sung said, “I didn’t expect it. “I have the hope, but I don’t think I can make any predictions,” he said. “If this was the case before the coronavirus, I would expect success if the response was this high, but since the theater situation is not good these days, my hope is that we can just break even.” “I think they support me because they think that if I succeed, it will have a positive impact on the film industry,” he said.

When Jung Woo-sung was asked about what “Spring in Seoul” left behind, he thought for a moment and said, “Isn’t being an actor a job that deals with people?” In my 20s and 30s, I think I placed great importance on giving meaning to my work. “Now I don’t think giving any meaning is important,” he said.

He said, “I thought more while playing Lee Tae-shin. Meaning is something that is given and cannot be emphasized or conveyed. Doesn’t something become meaningful when the majority agrees with it? I thought that the meaning I had and the thoughts I expressed should be more careful and should not be forced. She expressed her opinion, saying, “It seems like someone else finds and gives meaning.”

He said, “Coolness is also the same as meaning,” and “At some point, the moment I became aware of coolness, it wasn’t cool.” The moment I acted cool and said, ‘This scene will be cool,’ everything went away. All you have to do is be faithful to your emotions, and then the audience will watch and evaluate it. If an actor goes around thinking, “I’m a star,” doesn’t the public say he has star disease? “It’s like that,” he explained.

He continued, “I wasn’t conscious of it when shooting a movie, but I am very conscious of it when shooting commercials. Everyone compliments me when I ask for a nice smile. “The moment I became conscious of that, my mouth would tremble even if I smiled briefly,” he confessed.

This year’s movies ‘Woongnam’, ‘Sweet Sea: 7510’, ‘Cobweb’ He, who has made special appearances in many films, said, “I want to receive a cameo award at the film festival.” He said, “I think he is qualified,”and “I did it because it was a request from the people I worked with,”and, “Why did you do so much?”want. “Now I have a reason to refuse that request,” he joked.

He said, “It’s an appearance where a cameo can be toxic.” I have to be careful because it can deviate from the tone and manner of the movie, take the audience away, and take them to a place that has nothing to do with it. “I tried to do my best in the areas that didn’t deviate from the overall picture,” he explained.

In addition, he is directing ‘Guardian’ and the upcoming drama ‘Tell me I love you’ Jung Woo-sung, who literally went on a ‘working hard.’ He said, “I thought I ran like crazy for a few years. Some have been prepared for a long time, and others, like ‘Spring in Seoul,’, have been prepared by the director because the timing was right. However, he also mentioned rest by saying, “I think I should calmly look back and take a break.”

In addition, he, who debuted in the 1994 film ‘Nine-Tailed Fox’ and has spent nearly 30 years in his acting career, said, “I think the experiences have made me who I am today, and looking back, the excitement about the field is different from 30 years ago or now. I don’t think anything has changed. It’s great luck. Isn’t it true that it suits my aptitude? He also expressed his gratitude by saying, “I am grateful that I am doing this job that suits my aptitude and that I enjoy.”

‘Spring in Seoul’ will be released on the 22nd.
