Jung-woo met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 16th and said, `When I think of head coach Kim Min-soo, I feel heartbroken.'
Released on the 17th, 'Don't Touch Dirty Money' is a story about two detectives who get caught up in an unplanned accident after dabbling in dirty money, dreaming of a complete crime to turn their lives around, and it is the feature debut of director Kim Min-soo, who wrote the screenplay for the movie 'Bulhan: The World of Bad Guys' and 'Kingmaker'. Jung-woo played detective Myung-deuk, who took care of illegal businesses at night during the investigation.
Jungwoo "The title itself felt intense. In fact, when you receive a scenario for the first time, you have no choice but to look at the title. When I saw the name of the title of the work and the director named 'Kim Min-soo', I wondered if he was a younger brother who dreamed the same dream as me in college. I didn't know that director Kim Min-soo was the director I knew, and I got the script, and instinctively thought it would be the person I knew."
In particular, 'Don't Touch Dirty Money' was filmed in 2019, but it was released in six years in the aftermath of COVID-19. Jungwoo "After filming, I met with the director about once or twice a year. In fact, I don't often meet or contact the director after filming a work. I don't contact him often except for the director 'Sesibong' or the director 'Neighbor's cousin'. But Min-su was heartbroken. I don't know what hurt him, but I was distracted. The director waited decades for this piece. Isn't it the same motive that we met at university when we were 20 years old and walked out having the same dream. There seems to be a difference between the actor and the director. There are a lot of directors who are doing a lot of work, and I think the movie market shrank after the COVID-19 pandemic, so I wasn't very lucky"I called him a week after the shooting, and he said he was carrying boxes at a logistics market. At that time, both my friend and I were young and young, and I thought it was natural. Rather than just writing in the room as a director, I thought I should act responsibly as a head of a family. In that respect, he is a very respectful and wonderful friend. Minsu has never shown weakness in the field. He was the best director I've ever met," he said.
