(continued from interview ①) 'Salmokji' Kim Hyeyoon recounted an episode from the set.
On the 2nd, at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, an interview was held with Kim Hyeyoon, a lead actor in the film 'Salmokji' (director Lee Sang-min, distributor/financier SHOWBOX, production The Lamp).
'Salmokji' is a horror film in which an unidentified shape appears on Road View, and while the crew goes to a reservoir to reshoot, they encounter something in the black, deep water. It is director Lee Sang-min's first commercial feature debut, who drew attention with short films such as 'Dollimchong' and 'Hamjina-bi'.
For this, Kim Hyeyoon, who stood out in the drama 'SKY Castle' and has been recognized in many works, played the lead role of Suin.
When asked about the mood on set that day, Kim Hyeyoon said, "There always seemed to be a lot of laughter on set. Especially when we were taking the poster photos, it was hard to hold back laughter. We are peers, after all. Because everyone was close, it was hard to hold back laughter," conveying how warm the set was.
She also spoke about the chemistry with Lee Jong-won, who plays Gi-tae, Suin's ex-boyfriend in the film. Kim Hyeyoon said, "Even the first time we met, he made me feel comfortable as if we already knew each other. It allowed us to shoot comfortably. I thought a bit about how to bring out ex chemistry. At that time the director suggested making the speech a bit curt and clipped. We discussed a lot while shooting. Oppa took great care of me," she said.
So who was the most easily scared actor? Kim Hyeyoon laughed and said, "There are too many. Everyone was a bit like that," adding, "I think Da-a and I were the least scared."
Asked about a memorable episode, she laughed, "There were two restrooms at the filming location. One required about a five-minute drive down. That one had lights and was bright. The other had no light inside the restroom and none on the way there. It was a scary place, and I was the only one who used that restroom. I guess everyone was a bit scared."
In particular, Kim Hyeyoon recounted a chilling episode that occurred during the pre-shooting ritual. She said, "Because the material deals with ghosts and is a scary story, we performed a ritual. The shaman picked only a few among many actors and told them to take out the five-direction flags. At the time I had no particular thought, but one person said, 'But the people you're picking are all ghosts, right?' Those people are the ones who die in the film and play the ghosts. The shaman picked only them. It was an amazing experience," she said, drawing attention.
