Yim Siwan gave further clarification regarding the film "The Mantis: Original Sin."
On the 25th at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Seoul, a production briefing for the Netflix film "The Mantis: Original Sin" was held. Actors Yim Siwan, Park Gyu-young, Jo Woo-jin, and director Lee Tae-seong attended the event.
"The Mantis: Original Sin" is an action film about an A-list killer known as "The Mantis" who returns after a long break to an assassination-for-hire world where all the rules have collapsed, his trainee, classmate and rival "Jae-yi," and retired legendary killer "Dok-go" competing for the top position.
Coincidentally, a work with the same name, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "The Mantis: A Killer's Outing," is currently airing on SBS. In relation to this, Yim Siwan said, "A lot of people around me said they watched the drama The Mantis and asked why I'm not appearing. I want to apologize first, and I do not appear. I appear in the movie, but regrettably senior actress Ko Hyun-jung will not appear in this," emphasizing the point and drawing laughter.
He went on, "I watched the drama 'The Mantis' and found a big difference. Senior actress Ko Hyun-jung's 'The Mantis' is vicious. It has evil. But Han-woo-yi in the film 'The Mantis' is humane. He is kind. On the side of good, I think this mantis is stronger. They are clearly different kinds of killings," he said, drawing more laughter.
He also offered an explanation for his flashy dress code that day. He said, "To explain, during the clothes fitting beforehand I thought, 'This outfit is similar to this Mantis,' so I decided to wear it. It wasn't about trying to stand out alone or to look more prominent at this preview or to seek fame and fortune. If there's a dress code next time, I'll follow it properly," he said.
Jo Woo-jin said, "I was surprised when I saw his clothes today. Our Siwan really is, an idol. It made me think, 'That used to be him.'" Park Gyu-young added, "I tried to show a neat charisma today too, but I think I should have added one more edge." To this, Yim Siwan added, "Next time I'll come after reaching a smooth agreement about the wardrobe."
