Actors Park Min-young, Wi Ha-joon and Kim Jung-hyun met on the romance thriller "Seiren."
On the afternoon of the 23rd, an online production presentation for tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Seiren" (directed by Kim Chul-kyu, scripted by Lee Young) was held. Director Kim Chul-kyu, actors Park Min-young, Wi Ha-joon and Kim Jung-hyun attended.
"Seiren" is a drama about a man who digs into the death of a charming insurance fraud suspect and her surrounding death. Han Seol-ah's character, played by Park Min-young in the play, is the chief auction house of Royal Auction, the largest art auction house in Korea. Han Seol-ah has an eerie past that all the men who loved her died, so she is driven into an insurance fraud suspect.
Cha Woo-seok's character, played by Wi Ha-joon, is an insurance investigator belonging to the Special Investigation Team on Insurance Fraud. The biggest goal is to catch shameless people who want to turn people's lives into money, and it is a special ace who jumps in at any cost where there is insurance fraud. Kim Jung-hyun plays Baek Joon-beom, CEO of a mysterious start-up where everything except name and job is hidden. Han Seol-ah, an emerging wealthy man who has emerged as a VIP after successfully launching an interior platform application, won a bid for expensive art at a royal auction where she works.
Director Kim Chul-kyu said of "Seiren," "It's a drama that's intense and clear in color. Tense events continue from the opening to the closing of the first episode, and the desperate melodrama of the characters is depicted in the event. I think it's the essence of romance thrillers," he said. "The characteristic of this work is that the director has to show his or her color, and it's a work I really wanted to try once after looking at the script. I think I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to direct," he said.
When asked why the three actors were cast, director Kim said, "Characters can be defined as femme fatale, strong straight man, and mystique. Aren't these three exactly like that. There was nothing to worry about," he replied.
Director Kim said, "The main space of the drama is a place with a lot of expensive art, so I tried to make it as fancy as possible. Art work had a copyright issue, so I actually commissioned several artists to produce or rent it. I think there will probably be the most art in the drama of all time," he said.
Park Min-young said, "People around me say I'm the daughter of TVN," because she decided to appear on 'Seiren.' It's not necessarily because it's tvN, but the script doesn't get out of my head. I was worried if I could express this woman's psychology well, so I turned it down at first, but later I thought it was a big challenge for me, so I wanted to trust the director and actors. "I think the traces of my efforts and the results of many people's efforts came out well," he said.
When asked about the efforts he made to express Han Seol-ah's character, he said, "This friend doesn't eat," adding, "There are many tragedies around me, so when I go home without eating, all I have is alcohol." He is professional outside, but when he is alone, he is terribly lonely and suffering from emptiness. I thought it would be so weird to gain weight." When MC Park Kyung-rim asked, "Did you only have water and alcohol at home?" Park Min-young said, "That's what happened. While filming this work, I drank 3 liters of water a day. After filming, I stopped the water completely," he said.
Wi Ha-joon said, "This is the third TVN work." I'm honored and grateful to have such a wonderful relationship," he said. The reason for appearing in 'Seiren' was that I fell in love with it enough to read the script from my seat. "There was tension, density, and behind it was warmth, humanity, and various charms to be healed," he said.
When asked about the relationship between the three main characters in the play, Park Min-young said, "The three of us are attracted like magnets, starting with a feeling that is close to hatred, not liking. I don't like it, but I want to keep seeing it," he said. Wi Ha-joon said, "I walk a tightrope on the boundary of doubt, love, obsession, and madness," and Kim Jung-hyun said, "It's like a chain." If you try to cut this off with force, it breaks off completely, but if you solve it slowly, you can solve it well," he said.
How did the three actors work together for the first time. Park Min-young said, "It was so good. The atmosphere on the set was really good. Everyone was friendly and made me concentrate so well when the shot went in in a warm atmosphere. The actors also changed from their respective positions to roles in three seconds. I was also surprised by the two of you. I even heard tinnitus when I was concentrating. If I concentrate, I can hear tinnitus," he said.
Wi Ha-joon said, "I thought the visual combination would be so good, but looking at the angle, it was much better than I expected," adding, "Actually, when I look into Min-young's eyes and Chung Hyeon's eyes, I'm drawn into it. I received a lot of help so that I could concentrate naturally even on days when I couldn't concentrate well. Our chemistry was so good person-to-person as well," he said.
Park Min-young said that Cha Woo-seok and Baek Jun-beom's charms are 'Te' (outer Teto + Egen) and 'Tete' (outer Teto + Teto) respectively. He said, "Woo Seok had the ability of Teto, but he had the inside of Egen, and he was a quasi-criminal, outer Teto, inner Teto. Women are attracted to kindness and subtlety, and don't they fall in love with the eyes of pure love looking straight at them. He explained, "I even have Teto's ability." Kim Jung-hyun is Han Seol-ah's fatal charm in the play, saying, "It's an unshakable elegance. "I'm shaken psychologically, but I don't let this go externally," he said.
When MC Park Kyung-rim said, "There was a lot of reaction from the staff who praised actor Kim Jung-hyun's performance at the scene," Kim Jung-hyun said, "Thank you for the compliment." I hope it will be well communicated to the viewers," he said with a smile.
I also asked about the highlight of 'Seiren'. Park Min-young said, "It's fatal and beautiful," adding, "God's air changes when Kim Jung-hyun appears," and Wi Ha-joon said, "If you think about where the end of the characters' emotions is and what the truth is, you will be able to focus more."
When asked to introduce their characters like an idol group, Park Min-young said, "I'm Park Min-young, who is in charge of femme fatale of 'Seiren,' Wi Ha-joon said, "I'm playing Cha Woo-seok, a direct Teto Egen-nam," and Kim Jung-hyun introduced himself, "I'm in charge of a little mystery."
"Seiren" premieres March 2 at 8:50 p.m.
