Actor Gu Gye-hun revealed the aspects he focused on in 'COLONY'.

On the 20th, a press screening for the film 'COLONY' (directed by Yeon Sang-ho) was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Director Yeon Sang-ho, Jeon Ji-hyun, Gu Gye-hun, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hye-bin, and Kim Sin-rok attended the event and shared various stories.

'COLONY' is a film about isolated survivors trapped inside a building sealed off by an unidentified infection outbreak, fighting against infected individuals who evolve in unpredictable ways.

Gu Gye-hun, who portrays the three-dimensional villain Seo Young-cheol, who hides his intentions behind an unreadable expression, said, "This character was also my first experience with such interaction and network." He added, "I tried to use my facial muscles roughly, and when communication became sluggish, I expressed it through brief blinks."

He stated, "During the confrontation with Se-jeong and the final duel, I used more hand gestures, foot movements, and muscle tension in uncontrollable situations. The face action was carried out strictly under the director's guidance." Director Yeon Sang-ho added, "We referred to it among ourselves as 'magnesium deficiency action.'"

Regarding the aspects he focused on, Gu Gye-hun said, "To immerse myself in the infected and Seo Young-cheol, I consider them to be our children. I performed in a way that connected behaviorally with our children, and the feeling of creating it together was incredibly supportive and a special experience. I have even drawn inspiration from our children's acting, and creating a role together was a supportive, happy, and special experience." He then imitated a zombie, saying, "Are you all doing well?" eliciting laughter from the audience.
