Actor Kong Myung shared his thoughts on reuniting with actor Jin Sun-kyu after "Extreme Job," and also commented on the reactions to "Husbands."

On the 22nd, I met with Kong Myung, an actor in the Netflix film "Husbands," at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and had a wide-ranging conversation.

"Husbands" is a comedy-action film depicting the unpredictable rescue mission of a former husband and current husband who unexpectedly join forces to save a wife kidnapped by a criminal organization. Kong Myung plays "Min-seok," the current husband of "Si-nae" (played by Kang Han-na), who is a veterinarian.

On this day, Kong Myung expressed his affection for "Husbands," stating, "It was a work that made me extremely happy during filming. I enjoyed it greatly even during the preview screening at the theater, and after its release, I watched it with my family at home and had a lot of fun."

He continued, "Once it was released, we had no choice but to see the reviews. Many people watched it, so I looked into the reactions quite a bit. Since it's a comedy film, some viewers enjoyed it, while others felt it wasn't to their taste. I thought to myself, 'This part wasn't very funny,' or 'This scene was just as enjoyable for them as it was for me.'"

Regarding the reason for his appearance in "Husbands," Kong Myung revealed that actor Jin Sun-kyu had a significant influence. He said, "Actually, I was supposed to work with director Park Kyu-tae on the film '6.25,' but the timing didn't work out, so we couldn't collaborate. In that sense, I really wanted to do 'Husbands,' and knowing that (Jin) Sun-kyu was involved gave me even more motivation."

Kong Myung, who took on his first role as a husband in "Husbands," said, "I asked Sun-kyu, who is actually married, many questions about how he would have reacted in real life and how he should respond. Besides the director, we also did a lot of leading readings just the two of us. Since we don't live far apart, I think we met up often to do readings and practice while having meals."

He added, "It was the first time since 'Extreme Job' that I filmed a work with Sun-kyu, and I felt many new things. During 'Extreme Job,' I lacked experience and had no room to spare, so there were things I couldn't fully observe. This time, it was a set where I once again realized that he is a senior actor with so much to learn from, both as an actor and in terms of acting."

He continued, "His attitude of always preparing for filming from early morning and his habit of approaching others first on set to align lines and propose ideas were very impressive. Watching him share opinions and ask questions to make scenes even better made me think, 'I should become a senior like that someday.'"

He also added, "The blood type scene, which I particularly liked, was also Sun-kyu's idea. On set, he constantly exchanged opinions with the director and was deeply involved in thinking about how to create better scenes. I was able to learn and feel a lot from those aspects."
