Actor Kang Dong-won expressed his feelings about working with Park Jung-min in the Netflix movie 「Jeon, Lan」.

Kang Dong-won met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 23rd and said, `There was an emotional line that Park Jung-min had prepared before filming. I was going to act accordingly."

The Netflix film 'Jeon, Lan', which was released on the 11th, is a story about Jong-ryeo, the son of Joseon's highest military family, who grew up together, and Cheon-young, the son of Joseon's top military officer, who became an enemy with King Seon-jo's closest officer and a righteous army, and director Kim Sang-man of 'Night FM' took the megaphone.



Kang Dong-won was a slave with the best sword skills and played Chun Young, a body servant of Jong-ryeo (Park Jung-min). He said "Jeong-min had joined the work first, and I had a video meeting with director Park Chan-wook around the winter before last year because he sent me the script" After watching the script, I saw Kim Sang-man's previous work, and I thought he was a genius director. The script was very thick, but I thought it was a script that was not cinematic. Although Chun-young had the largest proportion, there were many parts that were focused on each person, so I felt that it could be an advantage and a disadvantage."

About Park Jung-min, who plays Jong-ryeo, "Whatever you do, it's always natural. When I work and when I don't work, it's always so natural that I thought it was really cool"I'm impressed. When asked about how he felt about working with the bromance, Kang Dong-won said "I only received it. There was an emotional line that Jung-min prepared before filming. I acted accordingly. If Park Jung-min was glistening, I was also in trouble. Jung-min seems to have thought of melodrama more strongly than I thought. At first, I felt something was off too, so should I take this or not?' I did it and finally got it. The scenes in the movie were all acting that received (melodic elements)."



Earlier, at the 29th Busan International Film Festival's red carpet event held on the 2nd, Park Jung-min generously drew laughter from the audience by saying, "(It's unfair to stand next to Kang Dong-won)." In response, Kang Dong-won "I'm not used to receiving praise or doing it. I just told Park Jung-min 'What's wrong with you when you look good in the role of a Westerner?'."
