Actor Hyun Bin revealed the meaning of "challenge" in "Made in Korea."
At a cafe in Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 27th, I met with actor Hyun Bin of the Disney+ original series "Made in Korea" and talked about various things.
"Made in Korea" is set in Korea, where chaos and leaps coexisted in the 1970s, and depicts the story of "Baek Ki-tae" (Hyun Bin), a man who tries to reach the peak of wealth and power using the country as a profit model, and "Jang Gun-young" (Jung Woo-sung), a prosecutor who traces him to the edge of the cliff with a scary tenacity, facing huge events throughout the times.
Hyun Bin led the play by breaking down into Baek Ki-tae, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency and a person who even puts the desires of others into calculation for his ambition, and building up rough and fatal results as the episode continued.
For Hyun Bin, Made in Korea is a production that brings new "firsts" as an actor. Hyun Bin, who challenged his first OTT work with "Made in Korea," said, "It was a bit different because you have to sign up to see it," and added, "Other than that, it was similar at the scene. I felt like the movie scene was getting longer, and I didn't feel anything different about the system," he said.
Baek Ki-tae is a person who stands in a clear position of evil but has a complex connection to be explained only by a simple structure of good and evil. Hyun Bin asked back, "Is 'Baek Ki-tae' a villain?" when a question related to 'the villain' was asked.
"The director seems to be trying a lot to bring out new things, not only during 'Harbin' but also during 'Made in Korea'. I also like that point as an actor, and I personally don't think it's a villain, he said. "I think it's an attractive character because it's not just a villain. Of course, I'm doing the wrong thing, but I think it's a bad guy because I understand something, sympathize with it, and feel uncomfortable somewhere, but it leaves room for attractive viewing," he said.
In particular, Hyun Bin, who said he increased 14kg for the character, said, "I think I increased 13kg to 14kg based on Harbin." I was satisfied with the feeling of being full on the screen. "I think what I thought was right," he said. "After looking at the scenario, I thought it would be nice if the situation of the times, the power of the institution to which Baek Gi-tae belongs, and the pressure of Baek Gi-tae itself."
He said, "In the shooting of the Yodo-ho incident in episode 1, the director wanted it to feel like James Bond. So while increasing the amount, I thought it would be nice to have a suit like Baek Ki-tae's uniform attached to my body. I'm satisfied with myself," he said with a smile.
