Lee Min-ho and Kim Min-ha interviewed Apple TV+ original series 'Pachinko Season 2' at Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 23rd.
Han-su in 'Pachinko' is being called 'tranger' by viewers, adding a presence and charm beyond the original. Some even said that the creation of this charm may be due to the casting of an attractive actor named Lee Min-ho. Lee Min-ho said, `Episode 7 of Season 1 was not true. Han-su's childhood. In a way, it seems that some more dramatic elements were created during the visualization work, and it seemed that it was the point where I wanted to enrich the person who was absolutely good about Han-su by kindly showing him becoming an absolute evil. I think the hand is delicate, and of course, it is clunky compared to the current era, but there were more delicate points than I thought, and those points seemed to be trying to figure out what they wanted to meet their needs and purify them. I don't think it's because of good looks."
It seems that it would not have been easy to choose the character Han-su as 'Rocking'. Even Han-su, played by Lee Min-ho, often acts to be called 'date violence' in modern society. It added to the question of his choice, which had mainly played romantic roles. Lee Min-ho said, `In a way, I think that violence can exist in humans, not because they are men, but there are many rules over the years to love rationally and live in a legal system. Those things were not clear in those days, so I think he acted without thinking he was immoral. I think I just chose the fastest path reasonably, the least path I can reach. Because it's advantageous for survival. But I think that the way of survival was a person who was mainly violent. There shouldn't be such a person in this day and age. No violence is allowed."
In particular, it would not have been easy to appear in a drama dealing with Japanese colonial era as a Hallyu star. Lee Min-ho said "I always seem to be a simple person when deciding on a work after the work 'Boys Over Flowers." After that, I was 26 when I did 'The Heirs' and I think 'When will I be able to wear my school uniform again' and 'The King's image of a prince on a white horse wasn't my intention. what's already formed. I thought it was a graduation work because I wanted to finish riding on a white horse. 'Pachinko' is also a script I met when I desperately needed a new motivation, and I don't think there will be any difficulty in deciding if there is anything that agrees with any work in the future. I don't call myself a Hallyu star either. I think it's an image that can be broken someday because it was made regardless of my intention."
Pachinko 2 is a series based on the New York Times bestselling book of the same name, released in 2022. 'Pachinko' is a chronicle of four generations of love and survival through the eyes of Seon-ja (Yoon Yeo-jeong, Kim Min-ha), a strong mother who has rooted in an unfamiliar land to live proudly for herself. Season 1 of 'Pachinko', which warmly captures epic poems unfolding between Korea, Japan, and the United States, proved its workability by dominating the world's leading award ceremonies, including the Critics Choice Awards and Gotham Awards.
Season 2 of 'Pachinko' has a total of eight episodes, with one episode being released every Friday on Apple TV+, starting on the 23rd.
