Actors Cho Yoon-hee and Kim Joo-ryeong bring extreme fear to the audience through the movie 「Always Spring Garden」.

On the afternoon of the 19th, the press and distribution premiere of the movie 'Always Spring Garden' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Cho Yoon-hee, Kim Joo-ryeong and director Koo Tae-jin attended the scene.

Released on the 21st, 'Always Spring Garden' is a movie about the beginning of the inevitable horror that took place at the Neulbom Garden in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, following Gonjiam Mental Hospital and Yeongdeok Sashimi Restaurant in Gyeongsangbuk-do, and director Koo Tae-jin, producer of 'Rangjong', took the megaphone.



Director Koo said, `When I first made a horror movie, I thought a lot about it, and I usually search on the Internet such as YouTube or portal sites. I wanted to melt the story I wanted to tell in the ghost story about 'Always Spring Garden'", he explained how he directed it.

Then "Each horror movie has a different texture, but 'Langjong' was a fake documentary format, and it seems that there was no technical help because it was different from 'Always Spring Garden'. It was a great help to extract the maximum amount within a limited budget with the know-how acquired while producing in previous works."

Cho Yoon-hee, who returned to the screen for the first time in eight years since the movie 『Lucky』 released in 2016, said "The first shooting was the most memorable. I filmed in a humid and poor place, but I feel good because it's been a while since I did a movie??C. Recently, I've been revealing my daily life through entertainment, and this is a movie I took a long time ago. I feel good personally and I have a good feeling that I'm releasing the movie after receiving good energy from the timing, and I have a good feeling about it.

Cho Yoon-hee plays So-hee, who faces incredible bizarre phenomena while digging into the truth about the mysterious house that her late husband left behind. He said "I've never done a horror movie before"I had a dream to try acting horror for a long time, but the director gave me a good opportunity, so I chose the work without hesitation. I don't usually watch horror movies, but I felt brave watching it today. I was afraid of bugs, but after giving birth to a child, I was able to see scenes that were not scary and disgusting."

Kim Joo-ryeong, who plays Hye-ran, who is worried about So-hee who always enters the spring garden, is the writer who worked with me on the drama. I have a work like this, and I decided to appear because actor Kim Joo-ryeong wanted me to play the role of my sister."

On the part that focuses on character acting, "I don't enjoy horror movies because I'm naturally very scared. There aren't many movies that I've seen like that, but I watched it because the director told me to watch the movies 'Shining' and 'Heritage' as a reference before filming. But I was so scared that I watched it while skipping. In fact, when the director casted me, he said 'Hye-ran is the person who can show the most colorful appearance in the movie', so I was fascinated by it. What was a little disappointing was that the results did not seem to fully include my acting. Still, I think I've done all the acting that I can do while filming a horror movie. If I have another chance, I want to do a work that can show a horror performance," he added.

As for how she felt about working with Cho Yoon-hee as a sister, "I thought it was really important to show the chemistry between Hyeran and So-hee (Cho Yoon-hee) when choosing a movie, but Cho Yoon-hee thought it was so pretty from the first impression. It's beautiful not only on the outside but also on the inside. From the beginning, I opened my heart in a comfortable atmosphere and filmed happily while saying 's sister', 's brother'.

Finally, director Koo mentioned the reason for casting Cho Yoon-hee and Kim Joo-ryeong. He thought Cho Yoon-hee was a man of higher thinking than a dichotomous distinction between good and evil"By setting, I felt that my job was a writer, and I wanted to have a good appearance and selflessness." As for Kim Ju-ryeong, "Three conditions were needed."I wanted him to be bright first, and I wanted him to be a kind mother second, and I wanted him to be creepy third. I thought that actor Kim Joo-ryeong was the one who could completely pull this off, and I thought that it was 'MANCOLATOR' with more than eight colors" he gave a high praise.
