Bae Jae-sung (30), a new actor who has made an unlimited transformation over the past year, from Kang Si-hoo, who is deaf in "Tell Me I Love You" to the regular in "Player 2".

In the recent tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Player 2' (played by Park Sang-moon and Choi Seul-ki, directed by Joo Jae-hyun), Bae Jae-sung performed a passionate performance with the right-arm regular of Jeffrey Jung (Kim Kyung-nam), who is at the peak of evil. 'Player 2' is a work about a team-play action scam that shakes off 'Having Guys'. It is the second story of tvN's Super IP 'Player' series, which received viewers' expectations and received favorable reviews from viewers while maintaining a rise in ratings from the first to the last. Bae Jae-sung added fun to the play by changing the situation and emerging as a key figure in conspiracy in this highly anticipated work.

Looking back on 'Player 2', Bae Jae-sung, who recently met Sports Chosun, laughed "Since it's my first time as a villain, I had a lot of worries about how to express my emotions well by killing someone without emotions and following the instructions, but I'm glad it came out well." In particular, the new actor has gained unforgettable experiences by accompanying him to the filming of his first overseas location in addition to his work with his seniors. He explained that he was able to learn a lot from the filming site of 'Player 2' that took place in Thailand.

The meeting between Bae Jae-sung and 'Player 2' was done by faith. Director Joo Jae-hyun, who saw Bae Jae-sung, the main character of the web drama 『Short Script』, which is so popular that it has accumulated 600 million views, suggested an audition and discovered a new charm in it. Bae Jae-sung watched "'Short Script' and wondered what the charm of this friend would be". In fact, Byung-woon, who I played, was a popular man in the world view of 'Short', but he called me wondering why', and he said, `You look good when you smile, but you can see a different side when you don't smile.'

It was a miraculous selection, but there were also numerous difficulties before joining 'Player 2'. In particular, Bae Jae-sung even had an accident in which his Achilles tendon was broken just before filming. Bae Jae-sung said "I heard something popping while climbing the stairs at the subway station, and my right foot was relaxed at the moment. Paramedics carried me on a stretcher.' It's upsetting to be hurt, but the new actor's heart was anxious because the filming was just around the corner, but director Joo Jae-hyun said, `I'll trust and wait"It reassured him. Bae Jae-sung said, "I think it would be okay if I held the strand in that direction and limped because it was a character that came out stupidly in the 1st and 2nd episodes anyway." He told me to relax. But I almost hurt myself because I stepped on the wrong foot while fitting my outfit, and at that moment, I was like, 'Am I really stupid?It made me think ' and expressed my frustration.

The reason why Bae Jae-sung was so disappointed and upset was in his previous experience. Bae Jae-sung, who was cast in director Kim Han-rim's masterpiece 『Hansan" in the past, had an accident with a broken bone in his foot nine days before filming. He suffered an accident in which his top of his foot broke due to a frozen premature fall from the refrigerator, and unfortunately, the casting was replaced and he got off. Bae Jae-sung "At that time, I was not profitable enough to earn 3.8 million won a year. In fact, it was a car that started with Lee Sun-hee's bodyguard and raised 20 million won to act, but he lived in poverty for two to three years after he fell from Hansan"I looked back on the past.

Because it was such a precious opportunity, Bae Jae-sung wanted to work harder. Bae Jae-sung "I was very nervous as I went to the first script reading and even wore an assistive device. So I saw how to read the script on YouTube, learned it in advance, and even did a simulation. I couldn't even believe that I got to act with Song Seung-heon from 'Hallyu Heavenly King'Autumn Fairy Tale'. Your parents like it more. How is it that you're really handsome?He was extremely handsome and had a halo and aura. At first, it was hard to even talk to him, but I was so grateful that he approached me comfortably like a neighborhood brother and treated me."

There was even a believer who confronted Song Seung-heon and played a so-called 'That's right'. It was an opportunity given because he showed his capabilities until the end. Bae Jae-sung was full of desire to do well in the scene as well. Bae Jae-sung said "I knew there would be a confrontation with Song Seung-heon, so I went to the action school right away and devoted myself to practice. While waiting at the scene, I worked with my seniors a lot. Can you guess what I'm saying to you?I couldn't say ', but I was grateful that the senior told me 'Let's guess ' first. He even told me to be 'bold'" and "The senior always gave me a line even though it was a shot that didn't get caught in the angle during filming. Thankfully, I was really immersed. I went to Lim Seul-ong's concert with him, and he said to me, `I was grateful that I could do it with you, too. I'll see you in a good work again. Thank you very much."

It was an emotionless murder, but the regular, which even had an unknown loyalty to Jeffrey-jung, was a homework that Bae Jae-sung had to solve. Bae Jae-sung is a character without emotion, so there was also difficulty. And I also wondered why the regular was so loyal to Jeffrey Jung. I think that's why he made himself a warrior. I was an orphan when I was young, but I wonder if Jeffrey Jeong might have been brainwashed while collecting and raising it. I was gaslighted and thought this was my Armour. I set my way by being absolutely obedient. So in the scene of receiving a knife from Jeffrey Chung, 'I'm finally recognized. I wanted to express my mind that 'I feel like I've become his son.'"

In this work, Bae Jae-sung committed a total of six murders as a regular. Among them, the scene of killing Shin Hyung-min (Hong Jong-hyun) was a scene that was particularly agonizing. Bae Jae-sung prepared this and that with a little greed because it was the first murder to kill someone in the script flow. I tried to kill them immaturely even when I killed them, rather than killing them equally emotionless. So it was very difficult to try to make a difference in the subtle facial expression. When killing other characters, he leaves without shaking his pupils, but when Jonghyun hits him, he falls down and 'Is it okay?' I tried to give him a fine point."

It is a regular work that I have a lot of worries and wanted to do, so I am particularly fond of it. He also expressed his desire to try other villains because he had seen the fun of the villain once. Bae Jae-sung, whose good and evil faces coexist, even dreamed of transforming into a psychopath. Bae Jae-sung said, `I want to try psychopaths or something for my next work. The role is to smile and be sad in the front, but the expression changes completely in the back and shows the psychological side. I also wanted to perform such a performance with a long breath like the regular in the second episode.

Bae Jae-sung is looking forward to one day being on the stage of the awards ceremony. I am also convinced that this wish is not in vain because he has shown a variety of characters for a year, including the past years he has endured steadily. Bae Jae-sung said, `I want to go to a film festival or an award ceremony with my work someday. The energy of the festival is so good that I want to be with you in my work," he said with a smile.
