Actress Ryu Hye-young revealed that she started slow running in preparation for filming 'Killing Time.'

The press screening for the film 'Killing Time' (directed by Jang Jun-yeop) was held at CGV Yongsan iPark Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 13th. Director Jang Jun-yeop and actors Ryu Hye-young and Nam Yun-su attended the event.

'Killing Time' is a time-attack thriller about an internet broadcasting crew named 'Killing Time,' who lost everything in a single accident, and their struggle to survive against a mysterious presence that attacks them at an abandoned hospital they visit in an attempt to make a comeback.

Speaking on her first foray into the horror genre, Ryu Hye-young stated, "As an audience member who is not good at watching horror movies, I think I actually treated it like an action film and focused on physical training."

She added, "I believe that in horror films, while the actors' performances are important, the genre is completed by the combined effort of numerous surrounding elements. On set, we filmed with maximum immersion and concentration," explaining, "I tried to express the desperation felt when Yeon-woo, carrying her guilt and hesitation, faces extreme situations."

She also revealed her desire for action roles. She stated, "I had longed for action acting for a while. I prepared for this role with a sense of honor at being able to take on the character of Yeon-woo."

She continued, "As I prepared, I realized that my stamina was insufficient to handle 'Yeon-woo.' So, I started slow running as an opportunity brought by 'Killing Time.' After running every day for about two months, I truly felt that I could perform the action scenes without strain. I have been consistently running from then until now."
