The stars of “Final Interview” boasted of the strong rapport they built during filming.

A production report for the film “Final Interview” (directed by Kim Jung-hoon) was held on the 29th at Lotte Cinema Gangnam Station in Gwangjin District, Seoul. Director Kim Jung-hoon and actors Jo I-hyeon, Kim Jae-won, Shin Seung-ho, Kang Yu-seok, and Bae Kang-hee attended the event.

“Final Interview” tells the story of six candidates who gather for a final interview and discover mysterious envelopes containing each other’s exposés, leading them to suspect one another and fall into confusion.

With six actors driving the drama, their chemistry on the actual filming set was also crucial.

Jo I-hyeon said, “I am quite shy, but everyone approached me first and talked to me a lot,” adding, “It felt like I had become the youngest member of the group on set.”

She continued, “Actor Jae-won is younger than me, yet he took such good care of me that I mistook him for an older brother. The other senior actresses and actors also looked after me a great deal,” expressing her gratitude.

Kim Jae-won revealed that he relied particularly heavily on Shin Seung-ho and Gwak Dong-yeon. He said, “When I had acting-related questions or doubts, I often asked Seung-ho hyung (older brother).” He added, “If I asked whether a certain emotion felt right, he didn’t just say ‘it’s fine.’ Instead, he shared his thoughts and then told me to ‘do whatever you want,’ leaving the door open.”

He further noted, “Having someone to lean on was itself a great source of strength. Thanks to that, I was able to act with peace of mind.”

Regarding Gwak Dong-yeon, he said, “I learned a lot about his preparation,” adding, “Watching him deliver over 200% of what he had prepared when immersing himself in the role, and even expressing the trembling under his eyes, I thought it was truly impressive.”

In response, Shin Seung-ho said, “I knew what kind of mindset Jae-won had when he asked me questions. So I wanted to be helpful.” He added, “While I cannot judge a colleague’s acting, I at least wanted to help them act with confidence.”
