Actor Bae Hyun-sung expressed his respect and gratitude toward Kim Hyeon-ju, with whom he shared a mother-and-son dynamic in the film "The Fall of Paradise."

On the 20th, at a cafe on Samcheong-ro in Seoul Jongno-gu, we met with Bae Hyun-sung, an actor in "The Fall of Paradise" (directed by Yeon Sang-ho), and had a wide-ranging conversation about the work.

"The Fall of Paradise" is a psychological thriller that begins when Ryu So-young (played by Kim Hyeon-ju), a mother who lost her son nine years ago in a camping school bus disappearance incident, is miraculously reunited with her son, Ryu Sun-woo (played by Bae Hyun-sung), whom she had believed to be dead.

In the film, Bae Hyun-sung took on the role of the unfamiliar son, Ryu Sun-woo, who returns after nine years, marking his first lead role on the big screen. In particular, he portrayed complex emotional lines while interacting with Kim Hyeon-ju in a mother-and-son relationship.

On this day, Bae Hyun-sung revealed about his chemistry with Kim Hyeon-ju, saying, "She is an incredibly warm person. I felt that warmth from the moment we first met."

He continued, "Filming started very quickly, so at first we didn't have much time to talk. As filming progressed, we gradually began to converse, and every time my senior performed, she gave me a lot of energy."

In particular, Bae Hyun-sung emphasized that Kim Hyeon-ju's emotional acting was a great source of strength for him. He said, "My senior consistently provided strong energy every single time. She conveyed her gaze and emotions to me so powerfully that it was a huge help when I was acting," adding, "She didn't give me any specific advice, but simply acting together allowed me to learn a great deal."

Working with Kim Hyeon-ju also led to realizations for Bae Hyun-sung as an actor. He stated, "I think I learned a lot about the heart of loving a work or a character. I realized that such feelings can have a significant impact on the co-star you are acting with."

He also marveled at Kim Hyeon-ju's unchanged beauty. He said with a smile, "During filming, I happened to see one of my senior's past videos through an algorithm, and she looked exactly the same as she does now."

Meanwhile, Bae Hyun-sung, who is one day away from the release of "The Fall of Paradise," his first lead film, also candidly shared his thoughts on box office performance.

He said, "I try not to have expectations about the results for each work. Of course, I do hope that many people will watch the movie," but added, "If expectations are high, disappointment can be great too, so I try my best not to expect too much."

Nevertheless, he urged interest in the work by saying, "Still, I would love for many people to come to the theater and watch the film."

Meanwhile, "The Fall of Paradise" is scheduled for release on the 21st.
