Director Woo Min-ho of Disney+ "Made in Korea" shared his thoughts on the controversy over Jung Woo-sung's acting in the work.
Director Woo Min-ho conducted an interview on Disney+'s "Made in Korea" at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 19th.
Disney+ "Made in Korea" is a story about "Baek Ki-tae" (played by Hyun Bin), a man who tries to reach the peak of wealth and power using South Korea and the country, where confusion and leap coexisted in the 1970s, and "Jang Geon-young" (played by Jung Woo-sung), a prosecutor who traces him to the edge of the cliff with a scary tenacity, facing huge events throughout the times.
Director Woo Min-ho, such as "The Insiders," "The Bosses of Namsan," "The Drug King," and "Harbin," tried to direct the series for the first time with this work. The full Season 16 episode was released and Season 2 is also currently filming.
"Made in Korea" was well received in the 1970s, drawing stories of big figures against the backdrop of Korea's history. However, Jung Woo-sung's acting ability, who played the role of Jang Geon in the play, was controversial and caused noise.
In response, coach Woo Min-ho said, "I said okay because (Jung Woo-sung's acting) was not like that. He said, "I talked about such an excessive smile in advance," adding, "Jang Gun-young's warrior comes out in the fourth episode. Watching such a story about his father being a Hiroppong addict, I wanted to show that the history of a country's tragedy destroys an individual and a family like this, so I put in excessive laughter. It was expressed as a defense technique. Jang Geon-young's "Draumada" he explained.
Director Woo said, "However, we are looking at the audience's reaction in that regard and looking at it being controversial. If the viewer is, yes. "We are the makers, so it's up to the viewers next," he said. "The evaluation is up to the public. I have no reason to refute and I don't want to refute. So I'm looking at the audience's reaction and thinking about why it's going to come out like that. However, I am wondering if I should bring such 'bad acting' to an actor with more than 30 years of experience," he explained.
