• Netflix's "Husbands" Jin Seon-gyu roundtable interview.

Actor Jin Seon-gyu shared his impressions of working again with Gong Myung following "Extreme Job" and expressed his thoughts on ceding the second-place spot in box office history.

On the 22nd, we met with Jin Seon-gyu, an actor in Netflix's film "Husbands," at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss various topics.

In "Husbands," Jin Seon-gyu showcases a unique charm as "Chung-sik," the ex-husband of "Sinae" (played by Kang Han-na), who is a narcotics unit detective.

Reuniting with Gong Myung after the 2019 film "Extreme Job," Jin Seon-gyu stated, "We've met every year for seven years, and we're very close actors. Rather than feeling different from when we did 'Extreme Job,' I felt we've grown closer and deeper. It was wonderful to work together again."

He continued, "The 'Extreme Job' team is so close that we didn't worry much about acting chemistry. Usually, it takes time to share ideas and synchronize, but with Gong Myung, that process was almost nonexistent. Whenever an idea came up, we shared it immediately and naturally made it our own. Thanks to that, the set was truly comfortable."

Regarding the "Extreme Job" team, with whom he has maintained a strong friendship over the years, Jin expressed his affection, saying, "I hope we can reunite soon for a second story." He added, "In 'Amazon Hwalmyeongsoo,' I met Seung-ryong as a brother, and in 'Aema,' I met Ha-neui. Clearly, if the 'Extreme Job' actors are involved, I'd be very eager to join. Now, I just need to meet Dong-hwi. Next, I'd like to try working together on a genre film."

"Extreme Job," which drew 16.26 million viewers, yielded its second-place spot in box office history to "The King's Man," released in February with 16.9 million viewers.

In response, Jin Seon-gyu laughed, saying, "Actually, no one really talks about that part separately." He added, "Instead, among ourselves, we say, 'But we're still number one in comedy films.'"

He further remarked, "It's great that good historical films have taken the top two spots. Honestly, there's a slight scratch, but it's fine." He then added, "We're still third in the all-time box office rankings. If we drop to fourth later, I think that will be a bit disappointing."
