”Newsroom” star Ha Jung Woo, from actor and director to painter: ”I'm very curious and hate boring times... I'm taking a break now”

Ha Jung Woo, the star of the movie "Hijacking", talked about the reason why he is active in many areas.
Ha Jung Woo appeared as a guest. He said, "I like Picasso, but I heard that he worked harder than any other painter. Even if you produce good work, it's not easy to get good results.
It seems that it is not simple. All a human being can do is work hard every day. If I do that, maybe God and the audience will understand, so I made the film with the feeling that I have to work hard until the end.
"My goal in life is to appear in 100 films," he said. "Every time I failed an audition, I thought acting wasn't the path for me," he continued. "The series of failures will definitely help me later.
I never lost hope and dreams that the day would come when I could release it and that it would definitely bear fruit, and I think this is what gave me the strength to overcome it," he recalled.
Ha Jung Woo is also planning to hold an exhibition as a painter this October.
"I think I have to draw what I want to draw unconsciously," he said. At the same time, he added, "Because I'm an actor, I draw a lot of portraits."
"I was impressed by what my professor said about the importance of an actor having a blank, expressionless face, so when I draw pictures I try to draw characters with blank expressions," he explained.
In addition, Ha Jung Woo said, "I'm very curious and I'm not good at quitting. I'm not good at drawing ...
I hate being slack. That's why I've been working all this time. I'm taking a break now," he said. "Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are still my role models.
"I think they have a lot of passion and energy," he said, expressing his respect for them. "I'm thinking about how I should live my life as an actor, while keeping them in mind."
"Hijacking" depicts the extreme circumstances that unfold when a passenger plane is hijacked in the skies over South Korea in 1971, and is currently being shown in Korea.
