Actor Shin Hyun-bin expressed his feelings about meeting with viewers around the world with "Gye Si-rok."
The Netflix film "Gye Si-rok," released on the 21st, tells the story of a pastor (Ryu Jun-yeol), who believes that it is a revelation of God to condemn the criminal of the disappearance case, and a detective in charge of the disappearance case (Shin Hyun-bin), who suffers from the welcome of his dead brother, chasing their respective beliefs.
Yeon Sang-ho's new work is as an executive producer of world-renowned master Alfonso Cuarón. Shin Hyun-bin played the role of detective Lee Yeon-hee, who suffered terrible damage to Kwon Yang-rae (played by Shin Min-jae) and suffered the welcome of his younger brother, who eventually died, in "Gye Si-rok."
In just three days since its release, "Gyeshilok" has recorded 5.7 million viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work), ranking first in the global top 10 movies (non-English).
When asked how he felt about winning first place, Shin Hyun-bin said, "It's so amazing. I can't believe this is happening. I heard it was faster than the period. It's a new experience because it's released at the same time, he said. "Everyone lives with their own faith and believes that there is no substance, and they don't believe in the reality in front of them." I think it's something that everyone can think of universally. "There are Korean characteristics, but thank you for watching more than I thought, and it's amazing," he said.
Shin Hyun-bin also paid attention visually, such as cutting her hair short and no makeup for this character.
He said, "It's the first time I've had such a short hair since I was young. When I cut my hair, my clothes and movement usually change. When I met another director during the shoot, he asked me why I was sitting like a man. It also influenced me in a good way and I think it would look good if I looked new. I thought I might have a chance to cut it once, but he came to me and cut it quickly. It was so comfortable," he said.
In addition, regarding Yeonhee's character, he said, "I thought about how much I would be suppressed and how to convey it well. I looked for interviews with people suffering from trauma. Yeonhee is holding out on medication and must have lived horribly for the past five years. He is a person who reluctantly lives, but he runs toward a sense of justice, a sense of duty, or an obsession to solve the case. Because people don't change in a moment. "I thought about how to express it convincingly in such a pent-up situation," he explained.
He also expressed his thoughts on playing characters with stories.
He said, "I don't hate it. Will people be curious about a life that is too easy and lives well. await a person's misfortuneRather than waiting, I think they would be curious about a story that grows through an event or experience, he said. "I think I'm attracted to the story of the person who told me." I played a happy role, but in the end, there was a story. The story of a person who lives a safe and normal life is not easy to deal with. Everyone has their own story, but I think there is a difference in how they accept it and grow," he said.
