Actor Zo In-sung revealed behind-the-scenes stories related to the action in the film "Humint."
On the 13th, the YouTube channel B tv Lee Dong-jin's Paiaquia uploaded a video titled "Actors chosen by Ryoo Seung-wan, Na Hong-jin and Lee Chang-dong, Zo In-sung 'Humint' interview." The released video, made to coincide with the release of the film "Humint" (director Ryoo Seung-wan, presented/distributed by NEW, produced by Oyu-naegang), shows lead actor Zo In-sung talking with critic Lee Dong-jin about the work.
In "Humint," Zo In-sung plays NIS black agent Director Jo, vividly delivering intense action. The performance has been widely praised. Zo In-sung himself confessed, to widespread surprise, "Actually, I have zero desire to be good at action. Of course, if it's all a kind of performance it's necessary, but I don't know that it's something to practice more or that it's particularly sensory."
He added, "You have to practice. This is a matter of honing. Whether by chance or inevitability, in the earlier-filmed 'Hope' there are still images showing me holding a gun, so I took many takes starting from the 'Moving' part. There was familiarity with that, and the way I held it was different each time, and various things were part of the experience. Some things became familiar through experience, but I practiced a lot."
Zo In-sung said of the late-stage climax scene in "Humint," "I wondered when the filming would ever end, whether this would end, whether that day would come," laughing, and added, "But it did come. I filmed with the feeling that no matter how cold it gets, spring comes," drawing laughter.
He said, "There was nothing technically difficult. Rather, the emotions were a bit difficult," and added, "Fortunately the director contacted me during postproduction. He said the action was really good. He said the look in my eyes was really good. So I think he likes me. One reason I do action is that I wondered whether that expression and sensitivity, that emotion, matched your result."
Zo In-sung also said about the climax action, "The original script wasn't that. Director Ryu has on-set sensibility. When you shoot, things don't always go according to the script, and location conditions in particular can change things, so there are quite a few scenes that change. There's 'Mogadishu' and there's 'Smuggling.' In 'Smuggling' I was supposed to die, but I survived. I agonized over how to end this at the end, and I think this scene came out of that."
"Humint" is a film that depicts people with different aims clashing in Vladivostok, where secrets and truths are submerged in a cold sea of ice. It opened on the 11th and is meeting audiences.
