The lead actors of the movie 'Boss' revealed their reasons for participating.
On the morning of the 1st, the production report for the film 'Boss' (directed by Ra Hee-chan) was held at Megabox Seongsu in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Director Ra Hee-chan along with actors Jo Woo-jin, Jung Kyung-ho, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyu-hyung attended and shared their thoughts.
'Boss' is a comic action film that depicts the desperate competition among members of an organization who fiercely 'grant' the position of the boss to one another for their own dreams, in light of the upcoming selection of the next boss, crucial for the future of the organization.
On this day, when asked about his reason for choosing the project, Lee Kyu-hyung stated, "When I first read the script, I found it to flow really well from beginning to end. When I saw my role, I realized it was a part I had to take seriously; it was attractive. As an undercover agent who has infiltrated this organization for 10 years and is experiencing an identity crisis and conflict, watching their journey as an observer was so interesting, and the action is bold. It was described engagingly in the script, and I felt it would be amazing when visualized on screen."
Following this, Park Ji-hwan noted, "When I first read the script, I had certain expectations and anticipations. It was completely the opposite of what I expected. It felt like listening to a favorite cassette tape again. Retro and classic vibes. It stirred up nostalgia as I read it. Although the character relationships were conflicted, they were charming, and while it seemed to be a rough story, it was beautiful. So, I liked it. And when I heard that these members were involved, I couldn't turn it down. It was a mission."
Jung Kyung-ho expressed, "To be able to work with these actors, I actually said I would do it without even reading the script. That was really great. I really wanted to do it. Kyu-hyung is my friend. It was such a satisfying period, a happy time."
Meanwhile, Jo Woo-jin stated, "As an actor, I thought I would have the opportunity to try something new. It ignited my spirit of challenge. It was a role and a work in a genre I had never done, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to show a different side of myself."
He also shared, "As a person, the film I shot before 'Boss' was 'Harbin'. It was such a heavy, dark, and deep work that I even needed considerable healing to think about my own health. I considered this project to be a blessed opportunity to encounter 'Boss' in that situation."
He added, "At that time, the director seemed to think I didn't look well. He suggested that we could heal and overcome through 'Our Movie' and create something fun, which opened my heart. I participated with a resolve to engage properly with good actors, many staff members, and excellent seniors."
On the other hand, 'Boss' is set to be released in theaters this Chuseok.
