The film will be streamed exclusively on STAR. The film follows former military officer U.
Chae Woong (Joo Ji Hoon) is the CEO of BF, an international company that has opened a new era with its cultured meat technology, and is the bodyguard of Yoon Ja Yu (Han Hyo Ju), a suspect in a terrorist attack.
The nonstop suspense drama PENG SOO, which approaches the truth of the case as a security guard, was held on April 8th in Korea, and Joo Ji Hoon, Han Hyo Ju, Lee HeeJun, Lee Mu Saeng,
Director Koo Cheol-hwan appeared on stage. In the first photo session, Joo Ji Hoon showed off her cool and cute side by posing like a police officer holding a gun and making a heart pose.
After the cast and director gathered to finish filming, a talk session began to discuss the appeal of the TV series. First, Joo Ji Hoon spoke about the characters, saying, "I think Joo
Ji Hoon explained, "I'm a former military officer. I'm guarding the president, but I get caught up in a terrorist attack. From there, I start a secret investigation to track down the mastermind."
Jojoo explained, "Yoon Ja-yu is the representative of BF, an international company that provides artificial cultured meat to the world, and as a CEO, he is a responsible person." The host then said, "Yoon Ja-yu is known for being the CEO of Lee Hyung-soo from the TV series "Moving."
When asked about being loved as Mihyun, Han Hyo Ju said, "Because 'Moving' was loved so much on Disney Plus, I'm glad that 'Dominant Species' is now on Disney Plus as 'Moving'.
I hope it will be as loved as "Bing"," she said with a smile. Regarding the relationship between Woo Chae-eun, played by Joo Ji Hoon, and Yoon Ja-yu, played by Han Hyo Ju, Han Hyo Ju said,
"Yoon Ja-yu is a researcher who studies cultured cells and creates cultured meat and cultured seafood, but because of this, he is also a person whose life is in danger due to his involvement in First Industry.
So he hires a special agent to protect himself, and that special agent is Woo Chae-eun, played by Joo Ji Hoon. However, it remains to be seen whether this special agent is just there to protect him, or whether he is doing something else.
There are so many coincidences that you wonder if they are plotting something. So it's a relationship that raises suspicions." Joo Ji Hoon also said, "This time,
After acting with Ng Hyo Joo, I thought she was a very dignified and dense actor. I also think so when I talk to her personally, and when she acts, I think she is very enthusiastic and has a strong core.
So I felt like I could rely on him," Han Hyo Ju said, "Joo Ji Hoon told me that he was relying on me, but I was the one who was relying on him on set.
What made me think that Joo Ji Hoon was very reliable was that not only was he great as an actor on set, but he also had the eyes of a producer who looked over the entire set.
He is very reassuring and always calls out to me when something goes wrong on the job site, so I am very grateful for him and he is very reassuring.
Next, regarding their characters, Lee Heejun, who played the role of Song Woo-jae, said, "I am the CEO of the Dosung Group, the most influential company in Korea.
When Lee Hee-Jun said, "I played the Prime Minister in the drama "Chou Si", the host asked, "Since my maternal grandfather was a former president, isn't this the highest-ranking person you have ever played?" to which she replied, "I've been promoted quite a bit. I had dinner with my father.
Whenever we were shooting a scene, we always ate at a restaurant in a very expensive high-rise building. The whiskeys on display there were the finest quality, and every time I went there, I was like, "Wow!"
I had a long career in the entertainment industry, but I had never been to such a place, but this time, through the role of Son Woo Jae, I was able to go to a very luxurious place.
Lee Mu Saeng, who plays Ong San, who founded the BF group with Yoon Ja Yu, said, "I've been Yoon Ja Yu's friend for 20 years and I'm a doctor of physiology. I'm a very rational person.
He is cold-hearted, but he is a strong presence for Jayu." When asked about the members of BF Group, he said, "There are many great actors, but Kim Si-hee, who is a doctor of biotechnology,
The cast includes Kim Sang-ho as the former lawyer's planning department chief Jeong Hae-deun, Park Ji-yeong as the former lawyer's planning department chief Jeong Seok-ho as the IT expert So-hee, and finally Yi-seo as the senior researcher Hong Sae-p.
Each of them has a distinct personality, but they work in harmony, which creates a lot of synergy, making it a very enjoyable set, and the work is packed with elements of that.
When asked how he felt about working with such a star-studded cast, the director said, "It was an honor. When I was first preparing, I wasn't sure what the casting would be, but I was able to make it happen.
As each person made their decision, I was impressed by how it turned out. (Looking at it through the camera) they were all stable and talented actors, so I was able to take on the challenge without fear."
The film is packed with action scenes that leave you breathless, including huge explosions, and the action scenes of Joo Ji Hoon fighting 17 against 1 are also a highlight.
Joo Ji Hoon said, "The TV series is set in the near future, not the distant future, so it was difficult to set up the details. I hope that viewers will understand this.
One of the things I tried to do was to make the action more realistic and give the feeling that the character's feet were on the ground.
I thought a lot about the genre. For example, rather than creating a gorgeous action scene, I created a scene with a sense of touch.
Despite this, we worked together to prepare. It was fun to film. I'm satisfied with it." In the opening of EP1, Han Hyo Ju gives a presentation.
Han Hyo Ju said, "It was a scene that opened the door to this TV series in the first episode, so I thought I had to do it well. I even looked up TED videos and studied them.
I used it as a reference. I usually don't do much preparation because I like to act according to the situation rather than practicing, but for this scene I practiced and memorized my lines a lot and acted them out.
I could have acted while reading the script, but I personally wanted to act perfectly, so I memorized it and went to the set," he said enthusiastically.
I was watching that scene, and it was an amazing scene. If you watch it later, you'll see that there were holograms appearing during the presentation and a lot of CG effects.
But it's amazing to see them imagining all of those long and extremely difficult scenes as they act.
"I thought it was really good," he said. It seems that there was a scene between Lee HeeJun and Joo Ji Hoon that was changed to a long take after discussion. Joo Ji Hoon said, "
Lee HeeJun's character was really energetic. How should I put it, he was like a living octopus. HeeJun is an actor I personally like very much, but I'm not sure if he's a good actor or not.
During the filming, Heejun and I were able to work together and we both said that we really enjoyed the joy of matching our rhythm as actors."
Joo Ji Hoon described Lee Heejun as a "living octopus," so Lee Mu Saeng described him as a "sea cucumber." Joo Ji Hoon said, "Lee Mu Saeng is a calm character with no ups and downs.
But it's hard to read when you're acting together. It's interesting for me as a person who is acting. There is a scene where I'm being interviewed, and there are some common questions, but I
"Sen-san's questions made it hard to read, and it was a strange and interesting performance," said Lee Mu Saeng, who was given the nickname "sea cucumber." "Sea cucumbers look motionless, but they move a lot," he said.
Regarding CG acting, Lee Mu Saeng said, "There is a scene where I have to make gestures in front of a screen.
The staff explained to me that this image would appear here and that there was a button here, and told me not to worry because it would be done with CG.
"But I gradually got used to it. So it was a fun experience. And the most important thing is that it's an AI secretary, so please pay attention to it."
The TV Series is about artificial cultured meat, a material that Korea is trying for the first time. When asked what he was paying attention to, the director said,
"Because it's set in the near future, we focused on realism. When we were actually shooting, we didn't think that AI would become such a hot topic, but we wanted to make sure that it didn't look unnatural when brought into reality.
Regarding the realization of futuristic things, he said, "Cultured meat technology, AI, and the like, actually exist, but I looked at how other companies are doing it.
I don't think cultured meat will be on the market in a year or two, but I think it could be in that state in 10 years.
The screenplay for this drama is written by Lee Soo Young, who made a new history with "Secret Forest - Beyond the Deep Darkness".
When asked how he and Yeon had discussed the film together, the director said, "Since Yeon is someone who communicates through text, everything was in the script itself.
Sometimes it doesn't match the world I think about, but I understand the intention behind the writing, and we have had many meetings about how to materialize it.
Regarding the filming, which is set in the near future, Joo Ji Hoon said, "I'm wearing a full-body suit.
Before taking the exam, there was a test of my physical abilities. It was a test of my fighting or driving skills, but in this test, I was wearing a full-body suit that allowed me to sense pain.
It's set in the near future, so wearing a full-body suit made me feel like I was completely naked, and I was really embarrassed. The suit was tight, and I had to do the action scenes alone in the suit.
"But it was a strange feeling," he said. The host asked him, "Aren't you used to acting in front of a green screen from 'Along With the Gods'?" to which he replied, "In 'Along With the Gods', I was more used to acting in front of a green screen.
In that world, I was Taji, so I was the Grim Reaper, so I was able to act as I pleased, but this time, I was an SP, so when I got hit, I had to react as if I had really been hit, so I was embarrassed.
When asked about the research institute, where many scenes were done using CG, Han Hyo Ju said, "I'm the director, so I didn't have many scenes where I had to touch the screen directly, but Ong San was right next to me and didn't do anything.
I thought it must be really hard to do that when I saw them reaching out and rotating and clicking things in places like that," to which Lee Mu Saeng replied, "It was interesting.
I think it is difficult to imagine what the future holds. In the case of science fiction movies that we have seen, all we have to do is use our infinite imagination, but in the case of the near future, the research unique to the BF Group is likely to happen in reality.
The details of the place had to be in harmony, so it required meticulous work. I had never seen anything like the research tools of the BF Laboratory on the set. They were all original creations.
As an actor, I felt that I had a sense of stability, and that helped me out a lot." Regarding his character setting, Han Hyo Ju said, "When I first saw Ja Yu, I thought he was a good-natured guy.
I wanted to make him a mysterious character, so it was unclear whether he was good or evil. He is a person who doesn't show his emotions, so I struggled with how much to show behind his unreadable face.
"I also changed the tone of my voice to be more subdued than usual. I tried to create a character with an image like a withered leaf," he said about his role.
Lee Mu Saeng, who plays Yoon Ja Yu's best friend for 20 years, said, "As Yoon Ja Yu's friend for 20 years and as a colleague at work, it was difficult to separate my work and personal life.
There are lines that you can speak to as an opponent, and lines that you can speak to a representative. Cultured meat is treated as a political, economic, and ethical issue, but there are times when there are conflicts and times when there is support.
In such a situation, the SP will be involved, but in the midst of all this, irregular events occur one after another, and a new man appears in front of me after 20 years of friendship, so I'm a "sea cucumber"
"I have to move so quickly that it doesn't look like I'm a villain," he explained, raising the expectations of the viewers. Lee Hee-Jun has often played villains in movies and TV series.
Regarding the role, Lee Heejun said, "I never thought that my acting would be different just because I was playing a villain. I was interested in what kind of desires Woo Jae had and why he was suffering.
It started from scratch, and the artist's materials were very interesting. When someone creates this technology, someone else wants to control it, and there's a battle to prevent it from being widely used.
It was deep. I am very happy to be able to participate in such a work as an actor." Regarding the "exciting scene," Joo Ji Hoon said, "When I read the script, I thought that it was a scene that I was familiar with.
I don't know much about it personally, but when I watch the news, I think there are a lot of issues that come up, and I participate in the work to show various fun things.
However, this work has some dark and thought-provoking elements. It is an opportunity to ask questions and to think about these issues in a more accessible way.
I think it's great that the author's story is expressed in a variety of interesting hot topics." Han Hyo Ju said, "When I first read the book, I thought,
I thought it was a clever scenario, so I read it all in one go. On the day I read it, I was so happy that I wrote about it in my diary. I was happy that a good piece of work had come my way. So, I was excited.
"I searched for footage related to the work. There are elements that allow you to get into the work. Cultured meat has also reached the stage where it can be trademarked, and
As I started working on this piece, I began to think about ethical, political, and economic issues, not just as an actor, but as a human being, so it was very meaningful.
Finally, Han Hyo Ju said, "The film that we worked so hard on will be released the day after tomorrow. We ask for your interest and support." Joo Ji Hoon replied, "It's an interesting film.
So I hope you enjoy it," he said, concluding the production presentation. "Dominant Species" will be streamed exclusively on Disney Plus Star from Wednesday, April 10th ©
