Yoo Hae-jin from the movie ”Yadang” is ”more interested in playing villains”... striving to break away from the ”typical”

"It's more fun when I act badly. In this movie, I tried to break away from the typical image of a villainous prosecutor." Yoo Hye-soo, who captivated tens of millions of viewers last year as a funeral director in "Tombbreaker/Bamyo,"
Jin will return to the screen as a villainous prosecutor for the first time in about a year. Yoo Hae Jin spoke about the movie "Yadang" and his work in an interview held at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 15th.
He expressed his affection for the actor in the drama, Kwanghee. He said, "The movie 'Yadang' is a gorgeous work with many characters and action scenes, but the character Kwanghee is
"I tried to act while keeping my acting in check so that it wouldn't look flashy," he said, emphasizing, "I hoped that the audience would be able to feel the dignity of a prosecutor with a long history."
The story follows Yadan, a broker who orchestrates Korea's drug industry, a prosecutor who aims for even greater heights, and a detective who is betting everything on eradicating drug crimes.
It is a crime action movie about a group of people who each have their own goals and are intertwined with each other. The title of this movie, "Yadan," is about a man who sells information related to drug offenders to the investigative agency in exchange for a reduction in his sentence.
Yoo Hae-jin plays the role of ambitious prosecutor Gu Kwanghee, who promotes Lee Kang-soo (played by Kang Ha-Neul) to the position of broker.
He played an unconventional villain and played a villainous role. Gu Kwanghee used Lee Kang Soo to directly engineer and solve the drug case, and is doing well in the organization.
He uses his power to secretly eliminate those who threaten his status.
In particular, there is a line by Goo Kwanghee in the drama that goes, "The prosecutors of the Republic of Korea can either make or kill the president."
It also has a strange connection to reality, with Yoo Hae-jin noting, "I recently rewatched some lines and scenes from the film and it made me feel strange."
He continued, "It's much more interesting to play a character with weight," and "I want to play a character who is just good-natured.
"I think it's because the characters look artificial," he added. He also emphasized his philosophy that in his work, a "good story" comes first, rather than the importance of the characters.
Yoo Hae-jin said, "When I look at various works, I realize that no matter what role I play, I want to break away from the 'typical' nature of the genre."
"It's difficult. The more time goes by, the more I realize how important it is to have interesting and new scenarios," he said. He also added, "My homework is to break away from the stereotypes while acting.
"It's a constant source of worry," he added.
