(Following interview 1) Actor Lee Seok shared stories about his experiences with fellow actors.
Recently, an interview with actor Lee Seok was held at the OSEN office located in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Actor Lee Seok has recently appeared in the Netflix original series 'Squid Game' Seasons 2 and 3, delivering impressive performances as the so-called 'Jump Rope Blocker' and, in 'Trigger,' playing the role of a sex offender, leaving a strong impression.
In 'Squid Game 3,' he also collaborated with Lee Jung-jae, recalling, "That was around the time the movie 'The Sun Does Not Exist' was being re-released. I started talking to him by saying I wanted to congratulate him first."
He continued, "During filming, I acted like a crazy person, and my senior Jung-jae thought it was really good. He encouraged me, saying it was very fun and good. Because of that, I gained confidence on set."
Lee Seok said, "No matter how much I prepared before filming, if I don't excite my co-actor on set, I tend to feel intimidated. However, he encouraged me a lot, and because of that, I was able to perform action scenes. Initially, I was cautious, but he acted boldly, and I responded to that, which led to some good scenes."
He also mentioned Kim Nam-gil, with whom he worked in 'Trigger.' Lee Seok said, "Nam-gil is a senior from my school. Although he didn't graduate, he talked about school first on set, saying, 'I also attended here for a while.' He was very friendly and shared a lot of stories."
He added, "I had a lot of questions for Nam-gil. When the camera is facing straight ahead, and I need to look in that direction, it can be challenging since the angle is right in front of me. I asked about that, and Nam-gil responded, 'If you keep doing it, you'll get it.'"
In particular, Lee Seok mentioned his first acting teacher, Kim Hee-won. Lee Seok stated, "While it's important to evoke resistance or disgust as a villain, I believe it's equally important to convey likability in any role. My first acting teacher, Brother Hee-won, said during a tea-drinking session recently, 'Even as a villain, creating a sense of likability is very important,' adding, 'But I don't know how to do that,' which brought laughter."
