The political human film 'Land of Happiness' (directed by Choo Chang-min, produced by Papas Film and Oscar 10 Studio) successfully held a GV before its release on the 6th.

GV was held on the evening of the 6th] Park Hye-eun, the editor-in-chief, attended by Cho Jung-seok as Jeong In-hoo, the top lawyer in dog fighting, Yoo Jae-myung as Jeon Sang-doo, the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who controls the trial for his power, and director Choo Chang-min, who directed the event. In addition, eight interesting facts related to 'land of happiness', which can only be heard in the field, were revealed, drawing attention.

On this day, it was revealed that Cho Jung-seok actively recommended Yoo Jae-myung for Jeon Sang-du. Cho Jung-seok said, `I just felt that my brother (Yoo Jae-myung) was qualifiedAt the time of filming the other work, Yoo Jae-myung actively recommended the appearance after learning that he was watching the scenario again after rejecting the 'land of happiness' scenario, which led to expectations for Yoo Jae-myung's, Yoo Jae-myung's, and Yoo Jae-myung's unique character Jeon Sang-du.



'Land of Happiness' has drawn attention with director Chu Chang-min's new work, which attracted 12.32 million viewers with 'Gwanghae, Man Who Became King'. The actors also showed infinite trust in director Choo Chang-min, and Cho Jung-seok also expressed respect, saying, `When I first suggested it, I was in awe.' In particular, Cho Jung-seok continued to say 'I came out OK, so Jung-seok should do what you want to do one more time'. You generously gave me another chance..." he said, drawing attention. Yoo Jae-myung also said "If you shout to the director in advance, 'I'm ready, let's go one more time as much as I want, I'll follow you' to take a lot of pictures." The cut that I took the most was about 15 takes..." which surprised the audience.

In response, director Choo Chang-min said, `They are excellent actors acting, but I thought there was something more beyond that, so I tried to bring it out," he explained, raising expectations for the actors' performances in the movie.



Yoo Jae-myung, who plays the role of Jeon Sang-doo, the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the center of power in the play, drew attention by saying that he had been scared of himself. Park Hye, who served as the Moderator, thought that there must have been times when she was afraid of herself while acting in the makeup of editor-in-chief""I still have a still at home that I got a still from that time, and it's scary to see. I think there are times when I feel that a person's eyes are so barbaric," he answered honestly, raising expectations for Jeon Sang-du's character, who controls the trial for power.

The scene where Jeong In-hoo and Jeon Sang-du face each other on the golf course in 'Land of Happiness' is considered one of the best scenes. Director Choo Chang-min commented on the scene, `I think it is not anger against individuals, but anger against the times. The anger still exists. I think we all live in defiance of such barbarism that exists in any era. In doing so, we grow and move toward the future step by step. I think it would be better to replace it with the times rather than the characters", he explained his intention to direct.



In response, Cho Jung-seok raised expectations for the scene by expressing his thoughts, "The scene that occupies a very large stake among the reasons for choosing this work" and "I think it was a scene that vomited anger about that era"

Answers to questions from audiences who watched the movie through the first current events were also eye-catching. I wonder what the audience's title 'land of happiness' meansWhen asked ", director Choo Chang-min seems to think that he wants to be happy no matter who or what kind of life he lives. Regardless of the times, we always dream of a better country of happiness. Rather than being happy now, I named it in the hope that the future would be a happy country", he replied, reminding me of the heavy message of the movie along with its meaning.

In the movie, Cho Jung-seok appears with more flesh than usual, but he could not escape the keen eyes of the audience. One audience member asked the question "Did you gain weight on purpose for the character?" Therefore, Cho Jung-seok was done after filming "Wise Medical Life". I said I would lose weight after the test shoot, but the director replied that it was good as it is. In response to Cho Jung-seok's answer, director Choo Chang-min continued "I thought it would be nice if Cho Jung-seok was a little tacky." When I lose weight, it becomes sharper, so I thought that it would be good to have a chubby feeling in that era, so I like it now.", he explained. In the end, Cho Jung-seok did not lose weight, which helped to further double the retro feel of the movie.

Cho Jung-seok and Yoo Jae-myung have already worked together in dramas 'Jealousy incarnation'Wise Medical Life'. In response, Cho Jung-seok was very scared as I acted face-to-face at a distance of 30cm, especially when I saw the eyes I saw for the first time from an actor named Yoo Jae-myung. It was even scarier to become a lovely Jae Myung again after filming. I thought that you really chewed up the smoke," he replied, bringing laughter to the audience. Cho Jung-seok added that it was a time he learned a lot personally, saying, "I just want to meet my brother (Yoo Jae-myung) with another work."He showed infinite trust, raising expectations for a breathtaking confrontation between the two.

Yoo Jae-myung's praise for Jo Jung-seok was also mentioned. Yoo Jae-myung, who laughed by saying "private GV, biased GV", was so happy to think that Cho Jung-seok, who I know, was such a great actor. I think I forgot about the movie and followed the 'Jeong In-hoo' without realizing it, drawing attention. "I felt the power of Cho Jung-seok throughout the movie, and it was a different experience. You worked so hard that you could give me a homage, and I was thankfulIn addition, attention is being paid to the acting confrontation between the two, who worked together in a hostile relationship while raising expectations for Jeong In-hoo, a lawyer completed by Cho Jung-seok.
