Veteran actor Jang Hyun-sung and the "representative of realistic acting" Jang Young-nam appear on MBN's Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night, dominating the atmosphere with a wide-ranging talk as diverse as their acting worlds.
On the 28th episode of MBN's Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night, airing on the 28th, South Korea's representative "acting artisan" Jang Hyun-sung and Jang Young-nam, who are currently appearing in "Bulranseo geumgo," appear together and share a heartwarming episode with Shin Goo that captures attention.
Jang Hyun-sung said that although it is a work by his close friend director Jang Jin, above all "because Shin Goo is in it, I thought I had to do this work with him," expressing his respect for Shin Goo. Jang Young-nam confessed that "Shin Goo sunbaenim is my tear button," saying she has reflected and cried many times watching Shin Goo's shining passion on stage. What episode made Jang Young-nam cry, and what performing with Shin Goo means to the two draws close attention.
Jang Hyun-sung also recalled his relationship with Jang Hang-jun, a fellow student in the theater department at Seoul Institute of the Arts and a close friend in the entertainment industry, testifying that they "spent shabby(?) times together," which provoked laughter. Moreover, Jang Hyun-sung said that when Jang Hang-jun suddenly called saying, "You'll know if you come out," and he went to the place, he found a human mannequin "dummy" and realized, "He's trying to kill me," sharing the behind-the-scenes story of his "one-minute cut death" appearance in the hit film The King's Warden, which surpassed 14 million viewers, causing laughter. Jang Hyun-sung then drew interest by revealing the differences between his longtime fellow students and close friends from the Seoul Institute of the Arts theater department, Jang Jin and Jang Hang-jun, whom he has watched by his side for a long time.
Known for taking many dying roles and nicknamed the "death-specialist actor," Jang Hyun-sung and Jang Young-nam also spill laughable episodes related to death acting that heated up the set. Having played many death scenes and thus often made molds for "dummies," Jang Hyun-sung said that the first time he made a mold he "unintentionally let out a string of swears," which drew laughter. The reason the usually mild-mannered Jang Hyun-sung snapped raises curiosity.
Additionally, Jang Young-nam said the most important thing in playing a dead person is the eyeballs, sharing the unexpected anecdote that "the eyeballs kept moving, so we couldn't shoot." Furthermore, Jang Young-nam said, "I took half a sleeping pill out of anxiety during the reshoot and filmed," and released the happening that "I was told I talked in my sleep during it," turning the set into a sea of laughter.
