[스포츠조선 안소윤 기자] Actor Kim Yun-seok expressed his thoughts about working in the movie ‘Noryang: The Sea of Death’.
Kim Yun-seok met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 20th and said, “I prepared the work with the heart of sympathy and sympathy with the two actors who gave excellent performances in the previous series.”
‘Noryang: The Sea of Death’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Noryang’), which was released on this day, is a war action masterpiece depicting Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s final battle to completely annihilate the Japanese army that was retreating from Joseon seven years after the outbreak of the Japanese invasion of Korea. Director Kim Han-min, who was in charge of directing, marked the finale of the Yi Sun-sin trilogy project with ‘Noryang’, following the films ‘Roaring Currents’ and ‘Hansan: Appearance of the Dragon’, which featured Korea’s leading saint, Yi Sun-sin, as the main character.
Kim Yun-seok said, “It’s already been more than two years since filming, and the release date has finally arrived. As the Battle of Noryang actually took place in the winter, I wanted to release it at the right time.” “I don’t think it’s possible to like it. I hope we’ll keep an eye on the future developments and hope that many audiences will show even greater support,” he said.
Previously, director Kim Han-min and the actors gave high praise in an interview with reporters, saying, “Kim Yun-seok was the very image of Admiral Yi Sun-sin.” Kim Yun-seok, who heard this, said, “Fortunately, many people viewed me favorably, so I am thankful and also embarrassed.” He added, “General Yi Sun-sin speaks very little and does not show his emotions outwardly, so I had no choice but to focus more on character research.”
He continued, “Because the two actors performed excellently in ‘Roaring Currents’ and ‘Hansan: Appearance of the Dragon’, I clung to the work with a sense of sympathy for the same illness,” and “Rather, I think I thought it was a lot of hard work with all my heart.” added.
He also talked about the reason why he wanted to do ‘Noryang’ the most among the works of the Yi Sun-shin trilogy project. Kim Yun-seok explained, “This work reveals many things,” and added, “It is a work that inevitably reveals the beginning and end of the character Yi Sun-sin’s seven-year war, as well as the ties and resentments he has built up over the years.”
