Kim Jung-nan met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 17th and turned it down once because he was offered a work in a mentally difficult state" he said.
The movie, which will be released on the 24th, is a movie about a mother and son who seem normal but are so special to each other, and a heartwarming love of a family and a desperate mother who tries to protect her child at the expense of herself, and director Lee Young-guk took the megaphone. Kim Jung-nan plays Oh Mi-yeon, a mother who gradually loses her memory due to Alzheimer's.
Kim Jung-nan played his first screen role in the movie `What a Beautiful Audrey in the World.' He was in a shameful mood as if he had been taken off his feet. You can watch TV while switching channels, but shouldn't you pay to go to the theater and watch the movie. It was much more burdensome as an actor because my bare face was seen as it was. If your face comes out on the big screen, it's very burdensome for the person concerned. Also, while watching the movie, I can't see what I did well, but only what I couldn't see. In the past, there was a time when I wanted to run out because my face was so red while watching a movie."
In particular, Kim Jong-nan revealed that it was not easy in the process of choosing a work. He said "I've declined to appear once. At that time, his mental state was also in a state of collapse, and his cat, who had been raising him for 17 years, went to heaven and was in mourning. My first time sending a cat, I had severe Petros syndrome. I took depression pills every day, and I hardly slept crying. Nevertheless, he was busy, and he was also filming '9 Miho (1938). I got a proposal at that moment, and our movie is small. The filming background was Chuncheon, but I was not confident because I had to film it while commuting every day within a short time. I also have six cats at home, and I was worried that I might not take good care of them, so I wondered if I could do it mentally. Rather, it seemed to cause inconvenience to the work. But the director wrote the script himself, and he prepared the work for a long time, but he said it's not possible unless it's me. After thinking about it, I finally decided to participate in the work. It was hard to say no because the director wanted me so badly."
