Director Yang Woo-seok, who directed the movie 「The Big Family」, praised the sincerity of actor Lee Seung-gi, who shaved his head to digest the monk's character in the play.

Director Yang Woo-seok met with Sports Chosun at a place in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 4th and talked about the movie 'extra-family'.

The movie 'The Big Family' is a family comedy in which cute grandchildren who have never seen the world come to the owner (Kim Yoon-seok) of the dumpling restaurant 'Pyeong Man-ok' because of his son (Lee Seung-ki) who became a monk.



Director Yang told the behind-the-scenes story about Lee Seung-ki's shaved head. He said "The fact that actor Lee Seung-gi was a real Buddhist also had an effect, and I know that I often see real monks. That's why shaved head must have been something that actors commonly encountered. "I didn't think it was a big deal before filming, but when it was the day of shaved head, I heard that I felt "This is a big deal."

In the meantime, "In fact, I couldn't force the actor to shave his head, but I was grateful that he would gladly do it, so I was able to capture a vivid scene in the frame."



On the other hand, Lee Seung-gi, who was single at the time of the film's release, has become a father and a family member. In this regard, director Yang said, `I heard that actor Lee Seung-gi felt new emotions every time he watched the movie several times,'' and `It seems to have meant a lot to the actor himself in that it is a story about his family.'

The movie 'The Big Family' will be released on December 11th.
