The movie 'Revolver' successfully held a GV directed by actors Kim Nam-gil and Oh Seung-wook.

Kim Nam-gil, who played detective Jeong Jae-gon in director Oh Seung-wook's masterpiece 'Robber', attended the 'Robolver' GV held at Lotte Cinema World Tower on the 13th due to his precious relationship with director Oh Seung-wook.

Kim Nam-gil, who proved his powerful ticket power by selling out all the tickets in just two minutes after the opening of the reservation, said "As a person who has been waiting a long time for the movie to be completed, I am so happy to be able to see it in the theater like this. I think a good work is a work that smells darker over time, but I think director Oh Seung-wook is an artist who makes such works. Thank you so much for choosing and watching a movie with such genre diversity in an era when stimulating and short-lived content is popularStarting with greetings, " continued a variety of stories about movies, including actors' acting and characters.

Regarding Jeon Do-yeon, who played the role of Kim Hye-kyung in 'rude', Kim Nam-gil said, `The power to lead the play was enormous, and he expressed such things as betrayal, disappointment, and anger only with his eyes in a cold expression. I realized that he continues to evolve even though he is a unique actor" expressed his feelings. I also liked the scene where Ha Soo-young was told by a shaman that `You're like a Seung-nyang' and looked in the mirror thinking `Am I becoming a beast like this?'," he said, citing the most impressive scene.

There was also a story about the link between 'revolver' and 'rude' that the audience who visited the GV was most curious about. Joo Sung-chul, the editor-in-chief of Cineplay, who hosted the movie, asked, "Oh Seung-wook's movie has problems such as identity and guilt, and I think the scene where Ha Soo-young looks in the mirror in 'Robber' and Jeong Jae-gon smells urine on his hands in 'Robbery' is almost the same scene." Director Oh Seung-wook said, `Both Ha Soo-young and Jung Jae-gon are people who continue to commit more crimes for the purpose they want. 'Robbery' depicts the process of falling in love and becoming a personally worse person, and 'Revolver' depicts a human story not to fall further into hell.'" In the two strangely similar works, the audience, who sympathized with the story Oh Seung-wook was trying to tell, nodded repeatedly.

A question from an audience who was impressed with 'Revolver' and 'Robbery' followed. When asked about the difference in the way the characters in the two movies respond to situations, director Kim Nam-gil and director Oh Seung-wook wrote, `Jung Jae-gon is a cowardly figure who keeps rationalizing his actions, saying, `I've only done my job, and you're just the criminal's lover,' while Soo-young is trying to find her way more enterprising.' ("Kim Hye-kyung is a character who keeps falling into the quagmire and makes wrong choices, while Ha Soo-young is trying to move forward with her tenacity firmly in her mouth. At the end, his whole body is covered in mud and it is very difficult, but he escaped from the bog, and in that respect, I think there is a great difference from Hye-kyung"(Director Oh Seung-wook) answered, indicating that the delicate character setting played a big role in creating a unique genre unique to director Oh Seung-wook.



Editor-in-chief Joo Sung-chul then immediately focused all the audience's attention by asking Kim Nam-gil "I think this work is a huge competition for actors, and is there a character in 'Revolver' that you want me to try?" Kim Nam-gil "Ha Soo-young was very coveted, but except for Ha Soo-young, it is Jung Yoon-sun. I've never seen such a bubbly undercover character before, but in a way, I think he's an opportunist, but isn't he sad about women?' With the same lines, I think Lim Ji-yeon expressed the things that Jung Yoon-sun gets wet by Ha Soo-young very well in three dimensions," he replied. Director Oh Seung-wook then said, `When I express one line of dialogue, I really liked that feeling. As a director, I thought it was important to capture the air emitted by actors in the field without damage, so I tried very hard to capture such air in the 'Robbery' period and in the 'Revolver' periodHe said that the parts that focused the most on creating the movie 'Revolver', which is 'Face Feast', were also the actors' fine-shaking acting and faces.

There was also a deep story about characters who exuded an intense presence. One audience member asked about Andy's character, who is set as a `crazy dog with perfume on it,' and director Oh Seung-wook replied, `Andy, who is fine with his waistband and everything on the outside is a gentle and dandy look, but he actually hides his weakness and the thoughts that he might not be able to do anything without Grace's backbelly,' allowing him to see that even a small setting was not used in vain. Director Oh Seung-wook then wrote "Shin created the character while writing the scenario. I wanted to draw a man who confessed to Suyeong and got dumped and had various feelings. In this movie, all but a few people are not cool. In particular, Min Ki-hyun's character resents swimming with the strange idea that Lim Seok-yong, who he cherished, began to fall into the path of crime when he and Ha Soo-young met each other. I thought the human group image itself was a very twisted figure", which gave us an idea of his efforts to design the character in detail, taking into account the narratives, thoughts, and emotions of various characters involved in Suyeong's straight journey.

Finally, the two of them came to think that again when they saw the audience who filled the theater today. I am so grateful to the supportive audiences who love Korean movies and think that films with diversity such as the "Revolver" should continue to be made. It is so touching that they tell the story of 'Revolver' like this. And thank you so much for the choice of watching twice and three times, and I feel that we have formed such a friendship." (Director Oh Seung-wook) expressed his sincere gratitude to the audience who came to GV.

Meanwhile, 'Revolver' is a movie about a former police officer Suyeong, who went to prison with all his crimes, going straight for only one purpose after being released from prison, and is playing in theaters across the country.
