'Chorongi' Go Gyu-pil described his chemistry with seniors Yoon Kye-sang and Jin Sun-kyu from The Outlaws.
On the 17th, at the Pullman Ambassador Seoul East in Gwangjin District, Seoul, a production press conference was held for the Coupang Play X Genie TV original series 'Heroes Next Door'. The event was attended by Yoon Kye-sang, Jin Sun-kyu, Kim Ji-hyun, Go Gyu-pil, Lee Jeong-ha and director Jo Ung.
Coupang Play·Genie TV original series "Heroes Next Door" (script by Ban Gi-ri and Kim Sang-yun, directed by Jo Ung) is a cheerful and thrilling story about a reserve special forces unit who band together not to protect the nation nor out of concern for world peace, but solely for their families and their neighborhood.
Go Gyu-pil plays the role of Lee Yong-hee, the head of the "Special Forces Martial Arts Yongmu Dojang," and about the character he said, "When I was young and attended taekwondo, I remembered the funny masters and wanted to film the scenes with the kids like friends for fun. But dealing with the kids was harder than I expected," he said jokingly.
He added, "I liked the people participating so much that I was very happy when I first approached the drama. I had good memories from past projects and wanted to do one more, and meeting them and filming was fun," and said, "Because the chemistry is so good, everyone had so many ideas. Shooting for an hour, the meetings became so long that it took a long time to start. So once it got to a certain point, I became the leader and organized it by saying, 'Let's stop and shoot,'" conveying a warm atmosphere on set.
He also spoke about his chemistry with seniors from The Outlaws series, Yoon Kye-sang and Jin Sun-kyu. Go Gyu-pil recalled, "The hyungs made The Outlaws so well, and I appeared in part 3 and received a lot of love. In fact, leaving The Outlaws aside, Sun-kyu hyung first worked in a piece called Counter, and I was surprised at the time. He acts so well and supported my acting so well that I thought, 'There are such good people in the world,' and I really wanted to work with him again, so I was very happy and pleased to have the opportunity to join him."
He also said, "Kye-sang hyung had a drama called Love Gone Mad nearly 20 years ago. I was in my 20s then and felt I was too lacking to be of much help. Still, I always hoped that if I had another chance I could be helpful to him and become an actor whose chemistry matches well," which evoked warmth.
