• Interview with Cho In-sung, director of the movie 'Humint' and 役

Actor Cho In-sung (45) is getting ripe. Cho In-sung, who gave many people excitement with his melodrama when he was young, is getting stronger as he looks for a role that suits him and contemplates the future of Korean movies.

Cho In-sung is meeting the audience with the movie "Humint" (director Ryu Seung-wan), which was released on the 11th ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. The movie "Humint" is a story of people with different purposes fighting in Vladivostok, where secrets and truth are buried in a cold sea of ice.

Cho In-sung plays the role of NIS agent Cho and performs a perfect action. Cho In-sung, who is already working with coach Ryu Seung-wan for the third time, boasts a perfect combination with coach Ryu Seung-wan more than ever.

On meeting with coach Ryu Seung-wan again, Cho In-sung said, "We all live in Gangdong-gu. Writer Kang Pul, director Na Hong-jin, and director Ryu Seung-wan use my schedule. Since we meet often and touch each other, it feels like we have become comrades beyond the director and actor. I watch it very often," he said, adding, "I think we play the role of a senior who is thinking about the future of Korean movies together. These people become more together because they see my human side a lot. "I always call him out to drink and the three of us talk a lot, so I feel like I'm doing it together," he said.

Cho In-sung, who also performed perfect action in this work, said of action acting, "Action is always difficult and difficult. But I've never dreamed of becoming an action actor and I don't put much significance on action. The story is interesting, so I choose the work, and if there is an action in it, I do it calmly," he said. Cho In-sung was overly humble in response to complimenting the cool action with his long limbs. He said, "I'm doing all the action Aren't all the other actors doing it?" "I never thought my action performance was cool." I wonder what I did so well. I don't self-evaluate my actions." Since Ryu Seung-wan, the best director in Korea, says he is good, I think "Thank you for the compliment." Even when I see other actors' actions, I'm not good at evaluating 'good job'. However, I think, 'Oh, you must have had a hard time,' he said.

Cho In-sung, who was loved as "Romance King" for his romance in various dramas and movies, is acting more action-oriented than melodrama or romance in recent works. When asked if he had any greed for Melo again, Cho In-sung said, "I've done Melo a lot when I was young. When I'm in my mid-40s and I'm in a melodrama with these actresses who are 12 years younger than me, I feel physically rejected. Even if I do a melodrama, I feel favored with such a character who draws love in a grand way. If there is too much age difference, it is burdensome," he said. Cho In-sung said, "There are a lot of young actors these days. Such friends become stars through the melodrama genre. I can't go back in there. That kind of work should be done by those friends. I think I should do a work like this with sociality and timeliness. My work goal has become to draw various images of people," he explained.

Cho In-sung said, "I drew a stroke of Melo," adding, "I don't think it's a stroke. I didn't cry that much (in "What Happened in Bali". I regret why I did that," he joked, drawing laughter. Cho In-sung said, "If I do a melodrama again, I think there will be a melodrama that suits my age. There is a pure love that young friends can do, but there is also a melodrama that you have to do as an adult. But there are not many such scenarios. I think I can draw such a love of a middle-aged man only when I have a writer Noh Hee-kyung. If you ask me to do such a melodrama, I want to do it," he said.

In this work, if Jo In-sung is in charge of action, Park Jung-min is in charge of melodrama with Shin Se-kyung. In particular, Park Jung-min's melodrama visual captivates the audience to the point where he says, "Isn't he acting handsome?" Cho In-sung emphasized Park Jung-min's coolness to the extent that he would hand over the "visual" position to Park Jung-min at the production briefing of "Humint," and Park Jung-min confessed for the first time in filming that it was difficult to manage by running 10km each before filming.

Cho In-sung said, "(Park Jung-min's handsome face) I also saw it well. It's hard to be cool. Did you think it was easy? It's nothing special. I have to wake up and run for 30 minutes every morning. Park Jung-min should continue to do so in the future. It's hard because it's my first time, so I'm on a hard path now. Welcome to the path of pain. Congratulations.I'm going to get comments like, "Now my face is dry, it's good," he said, drawing laughter.

In addition to "Humint" this year, Cho In-sung is set to release a variety of works, including Na Hong-jin's "Hope" and Lee Chang-dong's "Possible Love." He said, "Actually, rather than saying that I'm coming out as a work, I think I'm here with the three directors." Everyone should be together. It is said that it is a crisis in Korean movies these days, and a crisis can be an opportunity. "Industry is changing, so I'll do my best in my place," he said, expressing his deep feelings about the movie.
