(Following Interview①) Actress Cha Won-bin from the movie 'YADANG: The Snitch' expressed gratitude to senior actor Park Hae-jun.
Cha Won-bin held an interview on the morning of 16th at a café in Palpan-dong, Jongno District, Seoul. She discussed the film 'YADANG: The Snitch' (directed by Hwang Byeong-kuk, provided/distributed by Plus M Entertainment, produced by HYBE Media Corp) and her recent updates with domestic reporters.
'YADANG: The Snitch' is a crime action film featuring broker Lee Kang-soo (Kang Ha-neul) who designs the drug market in South Korea, prosecutor Koo Kwan-hee (Yoo Hae-jin) who aims to rise higher, and detective Oh Sang-jae (Park Hae-jun) who is committed to eradicating drug crime, each with different objectives. Released nationwide today (16th), it has recorded the highest overall reservation rate for five consecutive days, generating anticipation. Among the cast, Cha Won-bin stars as Eom Su-jin.
How was the collaboration with prominent senior actors like Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-jun, and Kang Ha-neul? Cha Won-bin noted, "There was something to learn at every moment. It was exciting to watch the seniors monitor their performances. Even during shooting, where there were multiple takes, I learned a lot by observing how they maintained the same energy with different feelings, and I was amazed by their flexibility. When I watched the completed film, I thought, 'They are indeed amazing.' This made my own shortcomings stand out more, and I wanted to escape further. It feels like I had a very good experience, something not easy to try.'
In particular, regarding the senior actor she collaborated with the most, she revealed, "I worked closely with senior Hae-jun and senior Im Sung-kyun." About Park Hae-jun, she stated, "He has really great energy and makes juniors feel comfortable." She added, "We filmed a crying scene at the police station for a very long time. During that time, senior Hae-jun was very supportive. He asked, 'Are you okay? Do you need water?' and told me to take it easy. Thanks to him, I had fun filming."
Park Hae-jun is gaining attention as Yang Kwan-sik in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.' Cha Won-bin shared, "He is such a good person and a warm-hearted one. When the promotion for 'YADANG: The Snitch' started, I felt like crying when I saw senior's face because of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.' I was worried that if I saw him, I might feel too sad. My friends even said they couldn't come to the premiere, saying, 'If I see Yang Kwan-sik, I'll cry.' But when I actually saw him, he was so wonderful and had a different vibe. I once again felt that he is truly an amazing senior."
Additionally, regarding her confrontation with Ryu Kyung-soo, who played Jo Hoon in the film, she stated, "He is a very interesting person, contrary to his role. He is very humorous. So, that 'gap' was really fun. I vividly remember saying that I was really scared, and he laughed at that. We had a lot of fun during rehearsal," she said with a smile.
Among them, Cha Won-bin added about the senior she collaborated best with, "Anyway, senior Park Hae-jun had many opportunities to meet Su-jin, so we had many chances to match our performances."
