Actor Joo Ji-hoon (42) said "I chose this work because I wanted to meet the audience with a popcorn movie."

Joo Ji-hoon, who played Jo Park, a Lexa knight who aims for a shot in life in the disaster movie 「'Escape'」 (hereinafter 'Escape', directed by Kim Tae-gon, produced by Vlad Studio). He met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 10th and explained the appearance process of 'escape'.

Joo Ji-hoon "I always think planning intentions are important. This movie is a popcorn movie. Although I have been meeting the work, I think I wanted to meet the audience with popcorn when I chose the work. In addition, Jo-bak plays a lot of functional roles in the work. I like that kind of character. I don't know if you ask me why, but I think I was attracted to that character at that moment."



Then "I've always been interested in the system of filming. Dexter Studio made 'Along With God' and don't you know how they work? Some directors risked their lives on-site recordings to capture the sense of reality, but Dexter Studio was the opposite. Dexter Studio focuses on post-recording like an animation. I already knew that I was able to get help in the technical area at the time of 'Along with God', so I acted more without hesitation in the field. But I changed my tone completely during the Hoosie recording. It was a character that could breathe to the audience, but my tone didn't match at the scene. I saw the filming on the scene and he was running away from the play. I don't think I'm wrong, but I wanted to approach the audience more comfortably. So I almost changed my tone. It was a work that was very old"I thought deeply.

'Escape' is a story of people struggling to survive out-of-control military experimental dogs released on the airport bridge on the verge of collapse after a series of crashes in thick fog. The late Lee Sun-kyun, Joo Ji-hoon, Kim Hee-won, Moon Sung-geun, Jesus Jung, Kim Tae-woo, Park Hee-bon, Park Joo-hyun, and Kim Soo-an appeared, and director Kim Tae-gon of 'Goodbye Single' took the megaphone. It will be released on the 12th.
