On the afternoon of September 9, a press screening and press conference for the film “I, the Executioner” was held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by director Ryoo Seung-wan and actors Hwang Jung-min and Jung Hae-in.
When asked if he felt pressured to follow in the footsteps of Yoo Ah-in’s character, Jo Tae-oh, from the previous installment (the 2015 film “Veteran”), Jung Hae-in replied, “The structure of evil in this film is different from the last one, so there was no pressure related to the character. However, since the previous film was loved by many, I had some concerns about it.”
Regarding his performance, especially his eye expressions, Jung Hae-in mentioned, “In the beginning, the direction of my gaze was important. As a member of the team introduced in the middle, I tried to capture the characteristics of my teammates. From the last part of the film, I had to act wearing a mask and a hat, which limited my facial expressions. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to express myself in such a narrow space.”
On the other hand, “I, the Executioner” is a crime investigation action drama in which the youngest detective, Park Sun-woo (played by Jung Hae-in), teams up with veteran detective Seo Do-cheol (played by Hwang Jung-min) to hunt down a serial killer who has caused a nationwide sensation. The film is scheduled to be released on September 13.
Meanwhile, Jung Hae-in is gaining attention through the ongoing K-drama “Love Next Door,” while Yoo Ah-in faces a one-year prison sentence for drug use.
