Jun Hyun-moo, known as a 'brainy guy,' faced Hollywood actor Rami Malek.
On the 15th, the team behind the movie 'Amateur' released an interview video titled 'CIA hacker room confidential conversation leak!' featuring the special meeting between Rami Malek and Jun Hyun-moo. In particular, Jun Hyun-moo gained popularity by parodying Freddie Mercury, played by Rami Malek, during the 2018 box office success of the movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'
In the released interview video, Jun Hyun-moo caught attention as he greeted Rami Malek in a hacker room-themed space. Rami Malek, playing a CIA codebreaker who handles confidential information, humorously noted, "It worries me that you're revealing your identity and location so casually."
Before the official interview began, Jun Hyun-moo praised Rami Malek's character Charlie Heller, saying, "He enters the world of spies armed with knowledge and hits a huge system without pulling the trigger. That was truly the best part." Rami Malek replied, "I've never seen such a character before," revealing that he was attracted to 'Amateur' for its new type of character not seen in traditional spy thrillers. In particular, when Jun Hyun-moo mentioned, "'Amateur' will be loved by Korean audiences," Rami Malek expressed his sincere feelings by saying, "Korean films have a significant influence in America. There is a sophistication and intricacy unique to Korean cinema cultivated over a long time. Therefore, being recognized by Korean audiences is also very meaningful to me."
Rami Malek and Jun Hyun-moo discussed various stories, including the reasons for their transformation through this project and the unique tasks only a CIA codebreaker could perform. They also mentioned being cast as characters renowned for their genius, from the drama 'Mr. Robot' to the film 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and now 'Amateur.' Rami Malek said, "Guillermo del Toro once told me that I suit intellectual roles. It seems I have an image where my mind is constantly working, and what you see isn't all there is." Additionally, regarding the character Charlie Heller, Rami Malek shared, "Charlie shows that anyone can do anything. Everyone has power, heroic traits, and strengths. Anyone can become a genius and a hero, and just enduring a day without incident is already remarkable. Charlie seems to be a character that conveys that message."
The moment Rami Malek felt the greatest thrill while playing Charlie Heller was when he said, "I believe the greatest catharsis moment brought by the memories shared between Charlie and Sarah is when Charlie is able to piece his fragmented life back together and soar high into the sky." Finally, Rami Malek expressed his heartfelt greeting to Korean audiences, saying, "I sincerely thank the Korean fans for their unwavering love and support," urging them to watch 'Amateur,' which premiered in Korea before anywhere else in the world.
The spy thriller film 'Amateur,' which has attracted attention due to the special meeting between Rami Malek and Jun Hyun-moo, is currently being screened to great acclaim in theaters nationwide.
