Actor Joo Ji-hoon (42) said "The late Lee Sun-kyun was a good colleague, senior, and actor for me."

Joo Ji-hoon, who played Cho Park, a Lexa driver who is aiming for a shot in life in the disaster movie 『Escape』 (directed by Kim Tae-gon and produced by Vlad Studio), met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 10th and shared his thoughts with Lee Sun-kyun as Jung Won, the administrator of the security office who was trapped on the airport bridge just before the collapse, Kim Hee-won as Dr. Yang, the lead researcher of Project Silence, and Jodi (Fina), his dog who struggled as he was one body.

Joo Ji-hoon said of breathing with the late Lee Sun-kyun, "'Doesn't each actor have his own style? Some actors have to spend time alone to be good, while others cheer up when they all hang out together. In that part, I and Lee Sun-kyun hit it off well."



He said "We weren't in our own rooms in the middle of filming. It seems that we kept talking and kept talking and working together until the set time for filming. I could feel that he was in sync"However, Sun-kyun is more detailed than I am. I think it's very similar but different. I was the type to watch, and Sunkyun put a lot of importance on detail and probability. It's fun to see the same job as me but different from me, and that was Sun-kyun's brother. They are the same actors, but they learned and observed. I wanted to absorb Sunkyun's part that I don't have," he added.

As for the location of Lee Sun-kyun's posthumous work, "In fact, it is not different. As an actor, every movie does its best. You can't turn back time, can you? It's always precious and that kind of heart. He was a good colleague, a good senior, a good actor, and has a good memory"I'm a hard-promoting and hard-working work. Our movie has a lot of fun parts, so I'm trying to get that out of my way."



'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.
