Wi Ha-jun boasted about the chemistry with Park Minyoung and Kim Junghyun, with whom he worked closely.
On the 23rd, a production presentation for the drama "Siren" was held via online live broadcast. The event was hosted by Park Kyung-rim and attended by director Kim Cheol-gyu, Park Minyoung, Wi Ha-jun and Kim Junghyun.
Wi Ha-jun plays the role of Cha Woo-seok. Like Park Minyoung, he has a deep connection with tvN, having worked on five projects with the network. On this, Wi Ha-jun said with a grin that the reason he chose the project was, "I keep being connected to tvN in a way that's almost uncanny. I'm honored. If I have any feelings, it's a hope that I can work with tvN for a long time on better projects and with a wider variety of characters."
He continued, "First, I read the script and was completely drawn in. I'm not the type to read a script all at once, but with "Siren" I sat down and read through. The more I read, the more curious I was about what happens next; it was tense and dense. As you follow the story, I thought it's a work that offers not only tension and fear but also warmth, humanity and healing. I thought it had a wide range of charms, and I already really liked the director's sensibility, so there was no reason not to do it."
He also spoke about working with Park Minyoung and Kim Junghyun. Wi Ha-jun said, "Just hearing the casting news, I thought the visual combination would be great. Seeing the angles, it was even better than I expected. The acting chemistry — when you look into their eyes, you're drawn in. Even on days when I have trouble focusing, being with them in that moment naturally helps me concentrate, so they helped me a lot. On a personal level, our directions in life and values are similar, so I worked with very good partners," he said, creating a warm atmosphere.
Wi Ha-jun described the relationships between the characters: "The three people have a magnetic relationship, with suspicion and love. It feels like the boundary of obsession. Emotions could be love or suspicion. There's also madness. For the sake of that boundary, they walk a precarious tightrope," he said, and regarding the charm of "Han Seol-a" he said, "First, isn't she pretty? At the same time she's elegant. Not only in outward appearance, but as you get to know the character Han Seol-a, she can have a cool, icy-woman side, but she's also very tender, warm and charismatic. I think that's very attractive. I hope viewers fall for Han Seol-a's charm," as he urged the audience to watch.
