“Exhuma” Main Villain Reveals His 220cm Height In The Movie Is Real And Not CGI
Many people were shocked to find out the actor was a baseball player and it was his actual height.
The actor was Kim Byeong-oh, a former basketball player. He shockingly acted as the main villain in the second half of the movie “Exhuma” and boasted an overwhelming performance with his 220 centimeter height.
His role has contributed to the movie’s box office success. The movie “Exhuma,” which was released on April 22, has attracted more than 7 million viewers in 16 days (as of March 8). The scene of him coming out of the tomb and chewing the slang alive in the movie made the Japanese samurai ghost, played by Kim Byung-oh, even more bizarre.
In fact, Kim Byung-oh’s casting has proved the “sense of reality” shown by director Jang Jae-hyun as he tried to avoid using CGI. “When I was invited, I thought, ‘Why do they need me? They can do it with CGI,'” Kim Byung-oh said in an interview with Sports Chosun.
“In movies like ‘Avatar’, they use CGI that can even make small look like 3 to 4 meters in size, right? So when I was invited, I wondered why they needed me. But I found out while watching the movie. Oh! It was this! It took me six hours to put makeup on my hands, feet, and face, and two hours to erase it. That’s how much effort he put into directing.”
The actor also revealed the goblin fire that appeared with the Japanese ghost in the latter half of the movie was not CGI but a real thing.
