Actor Jung Woo-sung had a sincere conversation with Sung Si-kyung
On November 30th, singer Sung Si-kyung’s YouTube channel uploaded a new video titled “My youth’s actor Jung Woo-sung is in front of me…” .
When asked if he drinks alcohol a lot these days, Jung Woo-sung replied, “I recently filmed a drama. I didn’t drink alcohol for a while because it’s a melodrama. The works I had done before were all about fierce performances between men so a face with stress and tiredness actually helped my characters” , adding “However, I filmed a melodrama after a long time so I thought I shouldn’t show a tired face. I didn’t drink for 5 months.”
The actor also revealed his thoughts on the environment of Korean films. Sung Si-kyung called “12.12: The Day” ‘a movie with splendid casting and acting that is not a waste of money’. Hearing that, Jung Woo-sung said, ” Korean films are often overshadowed by opinions like ‘Korean movies are facing crisis’, ‘Korean film industry is having a hard time. Please come to the cinema to watch it’. That’s shameless”
He explained, “Even on my work days, I often spend time in the morning going to the theater to watch all the Korean movies that are being screened these days” , adding “At some point, buying tickets has become too easy. In the past, we needed to make a reservation in advance. There used to be sofas in the cinema lobby so that viewers could sit there for 10-20 minutes after buying tickets. I recently went to see ‘The Boys’ and the sofas were gone. Seems like theaters are cutting down on staff. Having sofas means they need to clean them regularly.”
Jung Woo-sung emphasized, “I noticed the disappearance of the sofas right away because I’m an actor who watches all the movies in theaters. I also want to ask other actors whether they know that or whether they feel the change. Don’t just ask people to visit the theaters to watch your movies. I want to say this bitter thing. Whether it is a movie starring other actors, or a short movie, or a low-budget movie, you need to go to the theater to watch it. Act like you are an audience.”
