'Streaming' Kang Ha-neul plays a streamer in the movie while expressing his beliefs about the cyber wrecking problem.
On the morning of 26th, the production report for the movie 'Streaming' was held at Lotte Cinema Gunja Station. Attending the event were lead actor Kang Ha-neul, director Jo Jang-ho, and others.
'Streaming' (written and directed by Jo Jang-ho, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Berry Good Studio Co., Ltd., co-produced by TH Story) features a streamer named Woo-sang (played by Kang Ha-neul), who has the highest number of subscribers on a crime channel, discovering clues to an unresolved serial murder case and broadcasting the process of tracking down the culprit in real-time.
In movies like '30 Days', 'Midnight Runners', 'DongJu', and the drama 'When the Camellia Blooms', as well as Netflix's 'Squid Game' season 2, the widely liked actor Kang Ha-neul showcases a side never seen before with 'Streaming'. Expectations are high for his transformation, including intense tattoos and a crazed appearance.
Regarding the growing social issue of cyber wrecking, Kang Ha-neul said, "It's not that my thoughts changed after filming the movie, but rather I wanted to express a person who engages in extremely negative actions but thinks they are justified, borrowing the director's expression. So, rather than simply portraying this person as a villain or a bad person, I wanted to present the character in that way. I personally want to give it a justifiable meaning, saying 'It's okay' or 'It's about giving people the right to know', but it is correct to say that it's negative."
He continued, "I think it's unfortunate for the industry I'm in. There are positive effects from many people talking about it, but there are also negative consequences that come with it, which is unfortunate. While good news can have a positive meaning, it's unfortunate that negative stories spread among many people."
Meanwhile, 'Streaming' is set to be released on March 21.
