Director Ryu Seung-wan explained why he gave a melodrama line to Park Jung-min, not Cho In-sung, in the movie "Humint."

Director Ryu Seung-wan held an interview with the movie "Humint" (director Ryu Seung-wan) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 20th and delivered various stories about the work.

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.

In "Humint," Cho In-sung plays the role of NIS director Cho and leads the action. Director Ryu Seung-wan entrusted the melodrama line in the movie to Park Jung-min, who plays Park Geon, a North Korean security officer. Asked why he left the melodrama to Park Jung-min, not Cho In-sung, director Ryu Seung-wan said, "It is already too plausible that Cho In-sung is given a melodrama narrative as people say. However, as I've been doing three movies with Jo In-sung in recent years, I think the growth of this actor and I are drawing the same trajectory, he said. "Seeing this actor developing more and more solidly, I thought that Jo In-sung became an inner work of subtraction." After receiving the script, the actor himself knew about this character and recognized that he was not a pillar, but a root-like being who endured the entire movie. "I thought that if I played my role, other actors could play better," he explained.

Director Ryu Seung-wan then said, "Even actor Park Jung-min did not expect his reaction to the melodrama to be so intense. I didn't expect it either," he added.

Director Ryu Seung-wan, who is usually a "action master," arouses the audience's admiration with his melodrama lines in various works.

When asked if the "Melo Master" was hidden, director Ryu said, "I sometimes feel that way. But I don't think it's because you showed "this much." I've done quite a few movies so far while making movies and I've never had a single kiss scene. While talking with Jo In Seong, "How do you film the kiss scene?"I even asked like this," he said.

Meanwhile, 'Humint' was released on the 11th.
