Actor Seol Kyung-gu told how he came to participate in the movie 'Ordinary Family'.

Seol Kyung-gu met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 25th and said, `If it wasn't for director Huh Jin-ho, he might not have appeared in the work.'

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. Seol Kyung-gu played Jae-wan, a material-first lawyer, and performed enthusiastically.

Seol Kyung-gu said "I did it because Director Heo Jin-ho asked me to do it" " It's been a while since I've known the director, but compared to that, I did it late. When I went to Japan in 1999 because of the mint candy, I happened to meet the director on the street. I've known him since then, but he drank a lot and stayed in our room for three nights."

Then "If it wasn't from director Heo Jin-ho, but from another director, he might not have done the work. I think the movie is completely different depending on which director directs it"I was able to join the work because I believed in the director's delicacy"He also expressed strong trust.

'Ordinary Family' was officially invited to the 48th Toronto International Film Festival Gala Presentation section and was screened for the first time in the world. Seol Kyung-gu said, "I saw the movie for the first time in Toronto, and I was nervous because the editing felt a little boring and long. I asked the director to cut it off. After that, I think the director also went to the film festival quite a lot and saw the work. It has been edited for 5-6 minutes from the original amount. "Yesterday's press preview kept watching the audience's faces. I look at the reactions without realizing it, and if I sigh, 'Huh? I wondered what's wrong with him. But I was glad that the reviews were good"I was relieved.
