Actor Won Ji-an expressed his gratitude to Hyun Bin, who worked with him in "Made in Korea."

On the 19th, he met and interviewed actor Won Ji-an of the Disney+ series Made in Korea (director Woo Min-ho) at a cafe in Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

"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.

Won Ji-an showed his strong presence by playing the role of Yuji Ikeda, an influential figure of Japan's Yakuza as a competent lobbyist. A person who approaches 'Baek Ki-tae' to promote business in Korea with the ambition of becoming a successor despite the checks of the elders.

Won Ji-an said about his chemistry with Hyun Bin, "I really received a lot of help. As I read the scenario, I felt that the white Gi-tae I imagined was alive and moving in front of me, and at the center of the character Yuji Ikeda, I created the character well by breathing with the character and receiving energy," he said.

He said, "I wanted the feeling of a blade and a blade bumping into each other, and I remember filming it thinking that it would be nice to give you that much energy." In particular, when it comes to Yuji Ikeda's feelings toward Baek Ki-tae, he said, "I thought it was about 95% of business and 5% of favorability." "I interpreted it as an emotion that comes and goes without knowing," he explained.

In particular, Won Ji-an, who felt a lot of responsibility and pressure for his work, felt a lot when he saw Hyun Bin. He said, "I felt that I could act well only when the scene was comfortable. I learned it while watching Hyun Bin, but I definitely felt the energy from my relaxation this time because I worked with the director and my previous work, "Harbin," he said.

He said, "It's my first time, so he was considerate of me so that I could do it comfortably, but I thought there would be a lot of changes in acting if the actor was comfortable in the field, but I actually 'tap' my knee when I saw Hyun Bin," and added, "I thought I should have a broad perspective and relax while having a desire to do well."

Won Ji-an also expressed her gratitude to Jo Yeo-jeong. He said, "I only met you when I was shooting in Japan with you, but I relied on you a lot. He also tried a lot to take care of me, be considerate, and be comfortable on the spot. He helped me get out of the pressure to do something on the spot. I remembered that the conversation I had with my senior was so warm."

"It's my first time at an overseas location, and I have little experience in how to communicate between seniors and directors with a lot of experience, so it's true that I was nervous in that regard," he said, adding, "It helped me a lot in that regard."
