Actor Seol Kyung-gu (57) denied the connection between his work and politics.

Seol Kyung-gu met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 3rd and interviewed the original Netflix series 'Dolpung' (played by Park Kyung-soo, directed by Kim Yong-wan).

Regarding the cliff scene, Park Dong-ho's ending, Seol Kyung-gu said, "Park Dong-ho's end was surprising. The lines have been covered with double lines for a long time, so 'There will be no Park Dong-ho in that position', but he laid a double line and 'Is he going to die?' I thought so. However, I was surprised to see Jung Soo-jin's eyes and said, "(The production team) did not talk to each other. I thought it would go that way, and he said it wasn't 'Dying ' or 'Dying '".



Seol Kyung-gu then thought that he was doing everything he said, keeping his words so strongIt's a fantasy. Where is this person?"

Seol Kyung-gu seems to have done it with great concentration. It's a story about 'Chubalin' (shameful), but maybe because I'm a human snow globe, not Park Dong-ho, I have to fall back, but in the first take, I grabbed the wire without realizing it. It was terrifying. After that, I thought I couldn't do it, so I carefully let go, and I was scared even though there was a line."

In response to the reaction of some viewers who think it is related to politics, Seol Kyung-gu said, `It seems that it was only about politics, but not about anyone. I think you can think of it as a story of people in society. Inevitably, the outer shell is politics. I don't know how it goes because I don't do social media, but I hope you don't talk about it with Jinyoung. So when I saw this piece, I thought, "I hope there's no politics left, but people left."."

Seol Kyung-gu also said of Park Dong-ho, `I don't know what will happen as soon as I give power to that person, so I think it's the downfall of a dangerous person. Have you seen the process of politics?? It wasn't right. He used his power to practice his beliefs, and it was a bigger evil, so it would vary from one thing to the next, but it wasn't like that overall feeling. I didn't need someone like this. As the author said, it is a story where dangerous beliefs and degenerate beliefs collide, so it is right to focus on it. I don't want Jung Soo-jin, I don't want Park Dong-ho. I hope you feel that way because each person has a character left. The one that goes to zero. Working hard today. He drew a line with politics, saying, "I don't have a huge grand philosophy."



There is also a story that a real politician comes to mind while looking at the end of Park Dong-ho's cliff. In response, Seol Kyung-gu "I don't think I could have done it if I told him to do it with that in mind. He would have asked to change it or said he couldn't. You wouldn't even have been able to walk up the mountain. I was Park Dong-ho, I didn't imagine anyone. I've never even imagined it. I don't think I could have done it otherwise. I don't think I could have finished Park Dong-ho's last. I think they would have changed it because they asked for it. It was one thing. completely"

When asked if he had any similarities to Park Dong-ho, who is moving forward without being shaken, Seol Kyung-gu said, "I tend to shake." There is no such thing as a belief. I don't even know what belief is. There is no great cause. I don't feel like I'm doing it with philosophy. Let's work hard so that no one can damage it. I don't know. Acting is not abstract, but I think I need philosophy. I'm just working really hard on the work I've been given. I'll work hard today. He said, "I don't do it with a big philosophy.'

'Storms' is a Netflix series about a confrontation between a prime minister who decides to make a presidential bid to overturn the world and a deputy prime minister for economic affairs who tries to stop him and seize power. It is a new work written by Park Kyung-soo, who wrote the dramas `The Chaser, The Golden Empire', `Punch.' Seol Kyung-gu demanded the resignation of the fallen president 'Jang Il-jun', but postponed the prime minister Park Dong-ho, who was in crisis.
