"Hi-Five" actress Ra Miran cautiously conveyed her chemistry with Yoo Ah-in.
An interview with Ra Miran, the lead actress of the film "Hi-Five," was held at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.
The movie "Hi-Five," directed by Kang Hyoung-chul and distributed by NEW, produced by Annapurna Films, is set to be released domestically on May 30 (Friday) and tells the story of five individuals who accidentally gain different superpowers through organ transplantation and their encounters with those who seek their abilities.
Ra Miran plays the role of 'Seonnyeo,' a fresh manager who tries various things to find her superpower, and mentioned the kissing scene with Yoo Ah-in, who plays 'Gi-dong,' and Ahn Jae-hong, who plays 'Ji-seong.'
Ra Miran joked, "Actually, it's artificial respiration. It's not a kissing scene. Jae-hong, always keep it clear. It's about giving oxygen. It's not something to enjoy. It should be seen as not a kiss but as breathing."
She added, "We had fun on set. The scene was filmed when we were not present, so we asked to see it. So, we were like 'Wow!'" She laughed and stated, "With lighting and music laid over it, the director seems to have a certain code. It feels like every scene contains the director's humor, without any breaks."
"Hi-Five" completed all shooting in 2021, but the release was delayed due to post-production work and the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, the controversy surrounding lead actor Yoo Ah-in's drug incident emerged, finally bringing the film to light after four years this year.
When asked about her chemistry with Yoo Ah-in, Ra Miran said, "During filming, we really worked as one. Until this situation arose, he was doing very well on set. We had a lot of fun filming together."
She also noted, "Since I am in charge of the 'hip' aspect in the film, I'm disappointed that we cannot promote together. I must receive what I should, and I'm sure he feels bad as well. Nonetheless, I am grateful that it can be released."
Furthermore, she stated, "The director mentioned it, but for those who might be uncomfortable with the 'Yoo Ah-in risk,' it might be unavoidable. However, the film passes quickly enough that you can enjoy it without thinking about that. I should be careful with my words. Just look at me as the hip 'Gi-dong.'"
