Actor Lee Sung-min revealed behind-the-scenes stories related to memorable scenes in the dramas 'The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family' and 'Golden Time'.
On the afternoon of the 8th, Lee Sung-min appeared as a guest on SBS radio's live broadcast Two O'Clock Escape Cultwo Show (abbreviated Cultwo Show). He met DJs Kim Tae-gyun and Hwang Chi-yeul and talked about his recent activities.
There was also a moment looking back on Lee Sung-min's greatest performances. Scenes from dramas in which Lee Sung-min gave passionate performances, such as the drama 'The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family' and 'Golden Time,' appeared.
In particular, regarding the scene in 'The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family' that drew attention for Chairman Jin Yang-cheol's (played by Lee Sung-min) delirium symptoms, Lee Sung-min said, "That scene had a long rehearsal. It took a long time to plan how I would move. We didn't have many takes."
Above all, he said, "At that time my mother-in-law's health was not good, so I was more understanding of that, and acting wasn't that difficult," which moved listeners.
He added, "We filmed that for almost a year. When you keep acting, the role is a bit difficult for the first few weeks. Because it's the first time you meet a scene to play a certain character, you get very nervous and wonder, 'Is this right?' But that scene was filmed almost 10 months later, so the role fit me perfectly and I had a lot of information, so it wasn't difficult to act."
Lee Sung-min, reflecting on his passionate performance in 'Golden Time,' said, "It's been a while," and then laughed, "I don't watch my past work much, but seeing it after a long time, I looked young." He said that for the actual trauma surgeon role in 'Golden Time' he lost 7 kg and even dragged the shoes he would wear in the drama around for weeks to capture a sense of daily life. Lee Sung-min humbly added, "That was the first time I had a big role, so I feel like I tried everything others do," which added to the laughter.
Meanwhile, Lee Sung-min is meeting audiences with the currently released films No Other Choice (director Park Chan-wook) and Boss (director Ra Hee-chan).
