イム・シワン、T.O.P(元BIGBANG)の演技について言及…「僕はあそこまでできない。大怪我の中でも撮影を続行」「イカゲーム2」
<Interview> Im Siwan talks about TOP's (former BIGBANG) acting... ”I can't do that. He continued filming despite serious injury” ”Squid Game 2”
Actor Im Siwan mentioned breathing with T.O.P (ex-BIGBANG).

On the morning of January 9th, a round of interviews with Im Siwan was held at a café in Seoul's Chongro district to celebrate the release of Netflix series ‘Squid Game’ Season 2.

Season 2 of ‘Squid Game’ tells the story of ‘Gihoon’ (Lee Jung-jae), who returns and joins the game with a vow of revenge, and the intense confrontation between the ‘front man’ (Lee Byung-hun) who greets him and the game begins again.

Im Siwan (Myung Gi) is the antagonist of T.O.P (Thanos) in the show, and they breathe together in the action. When asked if he had any contact with BIGBANG when he was active as the group ZE:A, Im Siwan replied, "At that time, BIGBANG was a celebrity among celebrities. We rarely met BIGBANG because we used the waiting room for each group separately, and they were the kind of group that became a big topic of conversation even if you just said hello to them once as you passed by. One day, Gwanghee said, ‘I think (BIGBANG) saw your clothes. They were that amazing.' ‘’ he said, eliciting laughter.

He continued "I stabbed such people (with a fork). It was an action scene, so we went to action school together to match our action breathing. When we did the action and fell down, we floated in the air with each other. At that time, T.O.P's ribs were broken. I also had a broken rib when I was boxing with my brother Choo Sung-hoon. I know how painful it is. I couldn't even breathe properly. Normally we would have had to stop filming, but he continued filming despite the fracture. I really thought his career as a celebrity was exceptional."

T.O.P. was full of criticism through his role as Thanos this time. What about the thoughts of Im Siwan, who acted with him?

"You may like or dislike it. Acting is a subjective evaluation, and there can be no absolute evaluation. But if I were to play the role of Thanos, I didn't think I could do it (as T.O.P.). When I saw the freestyle rap, I felt I could never do it. If I had played the role, I would have had to stop all social networking activities and hide in the woods by the time this film came out."

He added, "It seems that 'how can I fit in well on the set' is always at the centre of what I do", and added, "I used to be a junior actor, but now I'm called a senior actor more often and I feel I have to play the role of a senior actor as well. Byung-hun is really witty. He cracks jokes with me, and this helps to ease the atmosphere and ease my nerves when I'm acting. I got the impression that Jung-jae is very conscious of the importance of breathing with his partner. When speaking dialogue, sometimes you can't see each other's eyes because of the angle of the camera. Despite this, he tries to make eye contact with me and acts with all his heart and soul. I learnt from watching them."

Im Siwan also commented on his breathing with Cho Yuri, saying that he thought she was a good person and a good actor, adding, "I don't know what it was, but I felt that she would do well as an actor and that she would be successful soon."
