Hwang Jung-min met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 10th and said, "'Veteran' is one of my favorite works. I'm very nervous ahead of the release of the second film."
'Veteran 2', which will be released on the 13th, is a sequel to the box office hit 'Veteran', which attracted 13.41 million viewers, and it is an action crime investigation drama that pursues a serial killer who caused a stir in the world when the youngest detective Park Sun-woo joins the violent crime investigation team of veteran detective Seo Do-cheol (Hwang Jung-min), who catches the bad guy until the end. Following the previous episode, coach Ryu Seung-wan took the megaphone.
On this day, Hwang Jung-min said of his feelings ahead of the release of the film, `I'm so nervous as if it's my first time doing a movie. 'Veteran' is one of my most cherished works of filmography. To tell you more about the reason for making the first film, when I was filming 'New World', the director happened to meet me in Incheon while filming the ending scene of 'Berlin'. Maybe the director was having a hard time, but his face was very thin. Since we are so close to each other, we said, `Let's make a movie that we can have fun with each other.' It was 'Veteran' that I made to do what I liked without stress and enjoy it. I hope the work goes well."
As for the reason why the production of the second film was delayed than expected, the first film was so good Looking at it, I guess I didn't have enough time to clean up. From the director's point of view as well as I did, it was burdensome to pour out the energy that made the first film into the second film. Anyway, there was a basic idea that we should always show the audience a new side. Also, just because the first movie went well, neither of us was able to film the sequel right away. I think it was a bit late because the next movie was already decided," he said.
In addition, Hwang Jung-min said of his detective Seo Do-cheol "He is also very attractive from a man's point of view." I bet you a horse, but I have a deep heart. And he has a strong spirit for what he wants to do. As I said at the press preview yesterday, I think I will feel reassured to have someone like this around me, and I will follow it unconditionally. I also think that as I get older, I want to become an adult like that."
