(Following interview ①) Actor Ryu Seung-beom said he felt a bond with the actors in Good News that transcended language barriers.
Recently, an interview with Ryu Seung-beom, the lead actor of the Netflix film Good News (director Byun Seong-hyeon), was held at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
Good News is a film that depicts a suspicious operation by a group of people who gathered to do whatever it took in 1970 to force a hijacked plane to land. It was inspired by the Japanese Airlines Flight 351 hijacking, known as the so-called "Yodogō incident," and in the film Ryu Seung-beom plays Park Sang-hyun, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
When asked how it felt to work with the actors who appeared in the film, including Sul KyungGu, Ryu Seung-beom replied, "Honestly, I don't think I'm in a position to comment on senior Sul KyungGu's acting rhythm, so I just enjoyed it. I was grateful and it was meaningful just to be able to work with him. Just seeing him on set and working together made me very happy."
He recalled his acting chemistry with the Japanese actors, saying, "Not only with senior actors but also when working with Japanese actors I was very concerned. I worried whether it would be strange or unfamiliar, but when we bumped into each other on set I felt that even if language didn't work, there was an invisible sense of solidarity among actors, something that connected us. It was a surprising experience for me."
He continued, "I worried that it would be awkward with the actors on set, but rather than that it wasn't even right to call it comfortable — I just felt, 'we are the same kind of actors.' I felt the commonality of people doing the same work. I don't know how they felt, but that made me feel at ease. Thinking we were the same kind of actors eased my mind and relieved a lot of tension. You could say we relied on each other. Because we were colleagues. Unconsciously relying on each other, I was able to let go of tension and act." (Continued in interview ③.)<
