Lee Hae Yeong of the movie ”Broken Heart”: ”I broke three ribs during an action scene”
Actor Lee Hae Yeong revealed that he had a hard time with action scenes. Lee Hae Yeong appeared on the big screen as the legendary killer "Jo Gak" in the movie "Bag", which is based on the novel of the same name.
In particular, she was born in 1962 and was able to perfectly execute the action scenes of a killer in his 60s, who is both seasoned with years of experience and physically limited, inflicting fatal damage on his opponent with minimal movement.
During a recent interview with Herald POP at a cafe in Seogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Lee Hae Yeong revealed that she had hurt her ribs during filming.
She said, "I didn't think I was suitable for the role of Jo Gak. I didn't want to play her because she's such an old lady. But I was attracted to the power she possesses."
She continued, "There isn't much action in the original work, but the director said, 'I'm going to do an action movie,' so I said, 'I'm anxious and scared.' At first, he said I didn't need to do action, but then he said, '
People who read the original work said it would be better if there was a little more action, so let's add a little bit. I think there was a way to do the story of Chogak without a lot of action.
"I broke my rib during the kidnapping scene. I collapsed and couldn't breathe, so I just lay down on the sofa and stayed still.
I had to finish it by then, so I left it as it was. Then I broke another bone. I was worried that I would break my body and not be able to make the movie properly. I was overcome with anxiety and loneliness."
"I had to go to the orthopedic clinic just to film myself jogging. I also had a pain in my wrist when Cho Yeop (played by Ok Ja Yeon) was taking control, so I went to the hospital. It was a hot day,
"I had to wear underwear at the support level. There were many factors that got in the way of my being immersed in the performance. It was physically demanding, and it was not easy to perform on the boundary between emotion and technique.
"When I was doing the action scenes, I would wake up many times and he would appear in my dreams. Unlike Jo Gak, I'm easily scared," he recalled.
"Broken Fruit," starring Lee Hae Yeong, is currently being screened in Korea and receiving rave reviews.
