At 11 a.m. on August 20th, the press conference for the movie “Veteran 2” took place at I-Park Mall CGV in Yongsan, Seoul with the attendance of actors Hwang Jung-min, Jung Hae-in and director Ryu Seung-wan.
Regarding his action acting in this movie, Jung Hae-in said, “The intensity and density were different from that of the action scenes I had done so far. I had to practice a lot, and while reading the script, I realized that if I didn’t have that foundation, I would feel so regretful and frustrated when acting. I also prepared myself in terms of physical strength. It’s another action but having good physical strength is very important. I became exhausted faster after each take and I guess this is the project that I filmed when I was the healthiest”, adding “It’s absolutely a ‘lucky Vicky’. I successfully stayed healthy and completed the project perfectly”.
When asked about his water sliding scene in the trailer, the actor said, “The scene came out as if it was grinding cartilage but I filmed the scene very safely. So I realized, ‘Oh, it could be done this way’. Being an actor requires a bit of courage. If you act without being scared of anything, the work will turn out well. But if you’re afraid even when it is safe to do so, you may actually get hurt. I’m glad the scene came out amazingly”, expressing his satisfaction.
Director Ryu Seung-wan gave 9.99 points for Jung Hae-in’s action acting, saying “A 0.01 minus because he was too fast”. He continued, “There was a time when he moved so fast that I even asked him to slow down. He even applied a technique that made his partner almost lose their breath. So I asked, ‘Why are you doing that? It’s a movie, just act’. His body is as strong as a rock. I was very shocked when I touched his arm. So I realized that he took care of himself so well. It’s great to know that he was so dedicated to the project and practiced a lot. However, his level of immersion was so intense that I had to minus 0.01.”
“Veteran 2” is an action crime investigative movie in which veteran detective Seo Do-chul (Hwang Jung-min) teams up with rookie detective Park Sun-woo (Jung Hae-in) to chase a serial killer who has shaken the world. It premieres on September 13th.
