Actor Jang Dong-gun expressed his feelings about returning to the screen after a long time since the privacy controversy.

Jang Dong-gun met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 26th and said, `I'm careful and worried that it might affect my work because it's not a movie alone"

Jang Dong-gun returned to the screen for the first time in six years since the movie 'Opening' which was released in 2018. Before the start of the interview, Jang Dong-gun said "I'm nervous and nervous, but I'm grateful that you liked the movie. It's been a while since I came out, and it was a great help. Many of you may be curious about the movie, but you may be curious about it due to your personal history. "However, since it is not a movie alone, I sincerely ask you to understand that you are cautious and worried that it will affect your work," he said.

"In fact, there was a break period, but if you look at the period of the previous work, there is not much difference"I filmed the drama for 9 months, and it was released afterwards, but they thought I didn't act because there were no people who watched it. There are so many channels that I know even if I don't want to, and when I see them, I get interested, but I don't think I can see them if I don't visit them. Nevertheless, while filming the movie again, I had a new feeling. The scene and each line felt more precious than before. I've learned that those things aren't for granted."

Meanwhile, 'Ordinary Family' was officially invited to the 48th Toronto International Film Festival Gala Presentation section and screened for the first time in the world. Jang Dong-gun responded very well in Toronto, and I intuitively felt that a good movie would come out while filming on the spot. When I saw the finished product in Toronto, it was my first time watching a movie, so I couldn't see it objectively. But fortunately, I was relieved that the audience responded well, and with good results at other overseas film festivals, 'I hope it will only work out in Korea'I felt good about it."

When asked about his feelings ahead of the release, Jang Dong-gun said, `It was a movie that came out after a long time, and I think I was more nervous because the recent works did not receive good reviews. On the day of the press and distribution premiere, the actors and directors saw it in the distribution hall, but there was no similar reaction to what they saw in Toronto. Later, I heard that there was also laughter from the audience in the media hall."

The movie 'Ordinary Family', which will be released on October 16, is a well-made suspense that shows four people living with their own beliefs watching CCTV footage of children's crimes, and everything collapses. Director Heo Jin-ho of the films 'Christmas in August';'A Spring Day Goes';'Prince Deokhye';'Ask the Sky';'Huh Jin-ho took the megaphone. Jang played the moral and just pediatrician Jae-gyu.
