Disney+ original series 'tyrant' held a production briefing session at Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas on the 15th and told stories about the work. Director Park Hoon-jeok, actors Cha Seung-won, Kim Sun-ho, Kim Kang-woo and Cho Yoon-soo attended the production briefing.
The chase action thriller 'tyrant' tells the story of the last sample of 'tyrant program' disappearing in a delivery accident, and then people who gather to occupy it for different purposes chase and chase each other.
Above all, it is the first original series of director Park Hoon-jung, who has shown interesting stories and sensational actions based on his unique worldview, such as the movie "New World" that opened a new horizon for Korean noir by creating many famous lines and scenes, and the "Witch" series that introduced characters and new action styles not seen in Korean movies.

"I prepared and filmed it as a movie, and then it was released as a series." "Rather than for any particular reason, OTT, etc., began to be created from the standpoint of creation, and the media that could be released became diverse. I think it's a matter of choice. I thought we had more opportunities. There will be pros and cons, but this work is about making choices when you think this media is an advantage.
At the same time, "However, since I was doing a theater movie, I struggled a lot in the series, but I tried to fill those parts. In fact, it was planned and prepared as a movie, so the process of changing it in the middle was difficult, and I think everything is difficult at first because it is a beginner's position to touch the series for the first time.
Unlike the movie, the drama induces tension at the end of each episode and should make you look forward to the next episode. On this point, he emphasized that the ending was incredibly well cut, drawing laughter.
It was also pointed out that it was an extension of the `Witch' series. Director Park said, "It's a story within the world view of the 'Witch' series that I showed you. I think you can see it as a story of people in the opposite point, the opposite force. It's a work that I prepared like that from the beginning. So many fans will have a lot to infer if they see it,' he added.

Also linked to the 'witch' world view is that if "witch" is east, "tyrant" is west", and since it is the opposite world view, there is room for one day to meet and collide. I think I can explain this briefly", he introduced.
Director Park replied to Cha Seung-won's casting, "'I'm the type that always gets on the actors. I asked for a favor with the actors who are the characters themselves`. I was sure that the characters would come out well because they were people who would do well in any role"I was proud.

Kim Sun-ho worked with director Park in his previous work 'Gwijongja'. The difference from the time is that it feels much more haggard, lonely and lonely than "Ghost". If 'Gwijongja' enjoyed all the situations, Director Choi was much warmer than "Gwijongja", he said. I did a lot of action at that time, but this time, I didn't have a lot of action, so I didn't struggle with my body. So I'm sorry to the seniors and I'm sorry."
Another point to watch is the characteristics of the characters. The chase of each character takes place. In the meantime, there are scenes where the characters' objectives collide, and I think that would be fun" he pointed out.
Coach Park was very worried about Kim Sun-ho because he had never shown him before. I thought I could do well. He said, 'You just have to do it.' Still, the acting range is definitely wide. You've created a very attractive image that you've never seen before" he complimented.

As for Paul's role, he is an overseas intelligence agent and sneaks into Korea after learning about the existence of a tyrant program in Korea. It has cruelty without blood or tears. His bloodline is Korean, but he is an American with nationality. He is a cheeky, black-haired foreigner mired in a sense of ambivalence and superiority. I can speak Korean, but it was not easy because I had to mix English well."
Coach Park agonized a lot about Kim Kang-woo to make a difference between the role he met in 'Gwijongja'. He was worried a lot and talked a lot with me, but he prepared a lot. He explained, "I caught things that I didn't think of."

Then "At first, I was looking at the scenario "I'm playing such a cool role?' I was so excited and worried," he added.
Coach Park chose Cho Yoon-soo because of the reason why he chose Cho Yoon-soo "The actor had to be a person whose face was unknown. He was a mysterious character, so the actor had to be less famous"I think the casting did a good job. In particular, he acted with his fists without a stand-in. He expressed satisfaction, saying, "He uses his fist the best I've ever seen."
Cha Seung-won also said of Cho Yoon-soo "I'm a person who is originally stingy with praise. There are a lot of scenes I took with me, but I did a great job acting. I'm proud of you for working so hard that I want to cheer you up and comfort you."
The Disney+ original series 'tyrant' is set to be released on August 14.
