Gong Yoo met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 5th and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Trunk' (written by Park Eun-young and directed by Kim Kyu-tae).
Although several bed scenes appear in Trunk, he was criticized by the public for discriminating against the exposure of leading and supporting actors. While the main characters Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo's bed scene minimized their exposure, Jung Yoon-ha and Joey-gun pushed ahead with Jeolla exposure and contained the bed scene with a long running time. In response, Gong Yoo said "I thought that the characters of Seo-yeon (Jeong Yoon-ha) and In-ji (Seo Hyun-jin) were so different that they were enough to explain Seo-yeon's madness. On the contrary, I think it should have been directed like that because emotional communion should be the base and my bed scene had to be such a bed scene."
"I acted thinking it was an appropriate production, but I should have taken it off a little more," he said, drawing laughter.
Gong Yoo also said, `I'm so sorry that I acted as a college student in my mid-40s. I also pressed my hat a lot. There was a scar makeup, so I think foreigners saw it because they knew I was in my 40s. I'm sorry. I talked a lot with Hyunjin while doing it. At this age, I thought it was a bit inappropriate to wear a school cap and do that as a college student, but I covered more than I thought. I pressed my hat down to the full."
'Trunk' is a story surrounding a suspicious trunk that suddenly rises to the lake one day, depicting a mysterious event and a wave of emotions that takes off the veil with a secret hidden in it. It is a secret marriage where real and fake are intertwined, and it deeply and densely captures mixed emotions in a mixed relationship. In particular, the unpredictable narratives and developments that go back and forth between the past and the present, and the emotional lines of complex and multifaceted characters are drawing attention from viewers and critics around the world.
Seo Hyun-jin played the role of a woman who became alone because of her marriage, and Gong Yoo played the role of a man who got married and became terribly lonely. Above all, the process of recovering and healing through Han Jung-won (Sharing) by Noh In-ji (Seo Hyun-jin), who chose "term marriage" as his job while feeling guilty and hurt after failing in his first marriage, and Han Jung-won, who repeated sleeplessness and nightmares every night due to the trauma of his childhood, saved himself through Noh In-ji.
