No one can be trusted, and nothing can be predicted. In an extreme situation where even a moment's carelessness is not allowed, a new and vivid fear surrounds the whole body.

On the 24th, a press distribution preview of the movie "Salmokji" (director Lee Sang-min) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Lee Sang-min, actors Kim Hye-yoon, Lee Jong-won, Kim Joon-han, Kim Young-sung, Oh Dong-min, Yoon Jae-chan, and Jang Da-ah attended the meeting.

"Salmokji" is a horror film that takes place when an unidentified figure is taken in the road view and the filming team headed to the reservoir for re-filming faces something black and deep in the water.

Director Lee Sang-min said he conceived a "salmokji" while watching the road view where the filming record was cut off at the entrance. Starting with the doubt, "Why was it filmed only there?" he completed the extreme fear with the setting that it is a reservoir that anyone can go to, but can never escape once they step up.

Director Lee Sang-min said, "I originally liked horror movies, and I've been filming horror movies before. While preparing in that way, I thought I could find the material 'Salmokji' and show you the original paintings of the fear and water ghost in the space," he said.

"From the beginning of the movie, I wanted to give (the audience) the experience of being possessed by water ghosts," he said. Experiential fear was my goal, and I worked on filming to save that point, he said. "I wanted to show a lot of new images, especially focusing on things that only water ghosts can do."

Kim Hye-yoon is in charge of PD Su-in, who leads the filming team to a murderous place with bizarre rumors. Kim Hye-yoon, who returned to the screen after four years and transformed into a "horror queen," leads the play by showing a new face with a sharp and dry image.

He said, "I personally like horror movies, so I was excited while filming, and most of all, the scenario was fun. I thought I wanted to act characteristically. I think it will remain a good career for me," he said.

Kim Hye-yoon said she was aiming for a "horror queen" and did not participate in a "salmokji," adding, "It's just an honor to be able to participate in a horror movie," adding, "She is a character who holds the strings of reason more tightly than other characters." I tried to show a lot of fear with a little expression and eyes," he said.

Lee Jong-won will take on his first commercial movie lead and first horror role as Yoon Ki-tae, an on-road media producer who joins the Salmokji belatedly and ex-boyfriend of "Su-in."

Regarding his emphasis on acting, he said, "It's different when you're surprised at a person, when you're surprised at something unidentified. I don't really have to look at something unidentified, so I prepared a reaction with that in mind," he explained.

Lee Jong-won, who even digested the underwater shooting himself, said, "I was confident because I learned it on the underwater set for about three months, and it wasn't easy because I thought I could do it with this much in the water, but I worked hard."

Director Lee Sang-min said, "The underwater shooting had safety issues, so we prepared thoroughly and filmed it. The actors who filmed in the water practiced a lot, he said. "I also like the crowd god of bizarre things in art setting, so I made a model body, set it up, made an iron rod, and put it in the water."

There is also a character who repeats incomprehensible actions and adds eerie tension to the play. It is a friendship ceremony played by Kim Jun-han. He is a senior and on-road media team leader whom Su-in believed and followed. Kim Jun-han said, "It was a role that had to lead the audience with a sense of mystery, and we kept talking with the director about how far we would show and how far we would lead him under the veil. That was the key, but I think the director gave proper direction and edited it well," he said.

Surprised by the actors' performances, he said, "If the world view of the horror genre is not believed, it may be difficult to immerse yourself. However, it seems that the actors fell into the world and eventually had an experience that was believed. I think everyone worked hard," he said.

Kim Young-sung and Oh Dong-min are veteran filming teams with a 200% synchro rate. Oh Dong-min said, "I believed the director because he is so specialized in horror genres. He did not believe in the existence of ghosts and worked with the mind of focusing on the appearance of being surprised when he discovered them. He expressed his determination, saying, "He caught the details at that time and took it with the intention of doing well."

Kim Young-sung then said, "I think the communication between the actors on the spot was very good. I think the reaction came out naturally, and when I saw a strange scene, I had no choice but to show that expression naturally," he said, expressing confidence, "I think a deliciously scary movie came out."

Some actors made their screen debut with "Salmokji." Actors Yoon Jae-chan and Jang Da-ah played as MZ couple. Yoon Jae-chan, who played as the youngest producer of the social shooting team, said, "It wasn't difficult to react because I was usually scared. If I was in that place, I could concentrate and immerse myself because there were many parts that could naturally create fear. I was able to do well without any major problems because I filmed with great people," he said.

Jang Da-ah completed Se-jeong, a person who is well aware of the bizarre rumors surrounding Salmokji, with an honest and bouncy charm. Jang Da-ah said, "First of all, I read the scenario with gratitude to the director who suggested it because it has a different appearance from the character I've expressed before."

"The scenario was also very interesting, so I thought I should appear without worrying about it. "I think it was a big experience in my acting life because I played a situation that I have never experienced in general situations, so I think it was an opportunity to play a dramatic change of emotion in front of the camera," he said.

Meanwhile, Salmokji will be released on April 8.
