Actors Seol Kyeong-gu, Jeon Do-yeon, Jo In-sung, and Jo Yeo-jung expressed their deep affection for 'Possible Love' alongside director Lee Chang-dong.

On the 6th (local time), a press conference was held for Netflix's film 'Possible Love,' which has been selected for the competition section of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Director Lee Chang-dong, along with Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyeong-gu, Jo In-sung, and Jo Yeo-jung, attended the event to discuss the film.

Seol Kyeong-gu shared his feelings about reuniting with director Lee Chang-dong for the first time in 23 years since 'Oasis.' He said, "It was incredibly moving to work on 'Possible Love' 23 years after 'Oasis.' I don't think much has changed in terms of our working methods."

He continued, "While we can't fully return to the mindset we had during 'Peppermint Candy,' back then, due to tension and pressure, I wanted to run away. But as time passed, I began to miss that moment. Without realizing it, I found myself intentionally saying, 'Let's go back to our roots,' and discovered my own desire to return to that initial state."

He also remarked, "I would call this film another example of 'Lee Chang-dong Magic.' The director doesn't make things difficult for me or demand too much, yet I naturally become more focused and deeply reflective. The set was heavy, yet it felt so enjoyable that I wondered if this was even possible. It seems thanks to the other actors. The atmosphere on set was so joyful that it didn't quite match the director's usual style." he laughed.

Jeon Do-yeon shared her impressions of working with director Lee Chang-dong again after 'Secret Sunshine.' She said, "I already experienced the director through 'Secret Sunshine.' I clearly understood how to approach the set with an empty mind and open heart, how much to embrace the character on set, and what actions to take."

She added, "When we worked on 'Secret Sunshine,' the director told me that I needed to show even a bit of growth. I only realized that growth after the film was completed. That's when I learned what kind of acting I should do in the future. Even while working on this new film, I thought perhaps I could achieve some small growth."

Notably, Jeon Do-yeon highlighted "incredible camaraderie" as one of the key takeaways from this project, emphasizing the strong bond and synergy among the cast members.

Jo Yeo-jung also expressed overwhelming emotions about working with director Lee Chang-dong. She said, "I never imagined I would get the chance to act in a film directed by Lee Chang-dong as an actor. It was so joyful that words cannot express it." She added, "The opportunity to meet my fellow actors feels like a great gift."

She continued, "All four of us worked together like siblings or family members, pushing and pulling each other, resulting in excellent teamwork. Personally, I've always been in front of the camera, but this time, I had the new experience of portraying someone who wanted to be behind the camera as a documentary director, capturing and creating something."

She further shared, "While acting on set, I genuinely felt happy to be an actor. Usually, my style involves enduring hardship and pain while performing, but this time, I felt proud and extremely happy to be an actor. It was an unforgettable experience."

Jo In-sung said, "It was wonderful to work with the director, two legendary actors from our country, and Jo Yeo-jung, whom I had always wanted to act alongside." He added, "This film left such a deep impression that I feel I will miss this set. It's truly a movie worth remembering."
