<Interview> ”Breaking Good” actor Kim Sung Cheol: ”Lee Hye-young's casting is like a mathematical formula” ”Ending OST... musical singing style is sealed away”

Actor Kim Sung Cheol spoke about the film "Breaking Fruit" during a recent interview with Herald POP at a cafe in Seogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
▼ Actress Lee Hye-young’s casting as Chogak was like a mathematical formula… She slowed down her body tempo to match the action scenes.
Actor Kim Sung Cheol expressed his respect for Lee Hye-young.
Kim Sung Cheol completed a cross-generational ensemble with Lee Hye-young in the movie "Broken Heart," and won the hearts of viewers with his strange love-hate chemistry.
Kim Sung Cheol plays the role of a mysterious killer named "Du" who has been chasing one person for over 20 years, and he is a man of fierceness, sensitivity and calmness.
However, he perfectly expressed the passionate character. On this day, Kim Sung Cheol said, "I thought it was a very fresh combination. The fact that a killer in his 60s and a killer in his 30s met is appealing in itself.
"I thought it was really interesting that Professor Lee Hye-young was playing the role of 'Jogak,' because it was like a mathematical formula."
In addition, he had to face off against Lee Hye-young in an intense action battle in this film.
It must have been difficult to synchronize your movements with your opponent. "It wasn't easy. I really like to use my body, and I'm fast when I move, even when I run. My teacher
Since I was not familiar with action scenes, I had a hard time slowing down my body. The last action scene had to be filmed when the teacher's physical strength was quite low, so I had to take care of him.
Those days will become very precious memories for me as I continue as an actor in the future." Not only that, Lee Hye-young sat down after the last shoot and watched it.
Director Min Gyu-dong also burst into tears, and the set was reduced to a sea of tears. Kim Sung Cheol responded, "The director had a lot of trial and error with the action scenes, and it was really difficult, but he managed to pull it off."
He added, "After the last cut, the director seemed to be overcome with emotion when he sighed as if he had let go of all his burden and said, 'Thank you for your hard work.'"
He continued, "There is a generational difference between Lee Hye-young and Kim Sung Cheol as people, but there is no generational difference between the characters in the work, so I was able to act well.
I didn't have any difficulties in getting the role. It was fun to hear her talk about her acting career so far while I was waiting. She continued, "She looks charismatic, but she's actually like a young girl. She always says, 'Our beautiful son.'
"I was able to relax when they welcomed me and said, 'Cheol has come.'" ▼ I was scared to sing the ending song "Jogak"... I was scared to give up singing in musicals.
Kim Sung Cheol personally sang the ending song "Jogak" for the movie "Bagga". The ending song "Jogak" is a "Two-word song" for "Jogak" (Lee Hye-young) in the movie.
The song expresses Kim Sung Cheol's three-dimensional emotions as they are, and director Min Gyu-dong spent a year perfecting the lyrics.
In an interview, Kim Sung Cheol commented on the ending song of "Bagga"
On this day, Kim Sung Cheol said, "The director had been thinking about the ending song since filming started, but he didn't tell me anything about it.
"I was informed suddenly about a week before the production presentation," he said, "and then I played a song that the director and music director had made together.
He continued, "When singing pop songs, I try to sing without using vocalizations, but at that time I was doing musicals, so my vocalizations had become a habit.
"It can sound like a burden," he said, adding, "I was a bit scared, but I went ahead with it because I trusted the director. The recording was completed in two hours."
Kim Sung Cheol also commented, "I heard about it for the first time during the technical preview, but watching the acting makes me feel like I'm actually acting.
However, it seems difficult to listen to a song and feel as if it is you who is singing it. I am not good at listening to my own singing. "It is difficult to listen to the recordings that I have made.
"I asked them to please stop making 'Tiramisu Cake'," he confessed, drawing laughter. ▼ He released his boiling energy in "Hell 2" and "Baka"... From now on, he will be a kind and lovely character.
Kim Sung Cheol, who wants to play similar characters one after the other recently, revealed the reason why he has been taking on similar types of characters one after the other.
He will appear in the Netflix series "Hell is Calling Season 2" and the U+ Mobile TV drama "Hell is Calling Season 2".
In "No Way Out: The Roulette" and the movie "Broken Heart," he exuded explosive energy through deep and lacking characters, drawing positive reviews.
On this day, Kim Sung Cheol said, "Hell is Calling Season 2, NO WAY
"OUT: The Roulette" and "Breaking Fruit" were all shot in the same year, but "Hell" is the one I like the most.
"I wanted to do something similar to the characters from 'I'm Calling You Season 2' because they were still there," he said.
He took on the role of 'OUT: The Roulette' and during that time he also decided to appear in 'Breaking Fruit'."
He continued, "There are differences, but the type is similar," and "If I can bring this tempo to a character that I can meet at this time, I think I'll be able to create a really good character."
Kim Sung Cheol continued, "But I wasn't mentally exhausted. Rather, those characters have a strong sense of deprivation, so it was hard to act.
"The reason I like this job the most is because I can release this bubbling energy. That's why I love being on stage so much."
He also said, "There aren't many characters like this in movies or TV series, so I think I'll meet them when I can and become healthy by doing the same."
I've just been doing a lot of deep things and letting them out, so next year I'm looking for a kind and lovely character that I can play."
Meanwhile, Kim Sung Cheol's new work "Broken Fruit" is about a man who has been working for over 40 years in an organization that disposes of insect-like humans.
This action TV series, currently receiving rave reviews in Korea, depicts the intense confrontation between "Jo Gak," a legendary killer who was active throughout her career, and "Du Woo," a mysterious killer who has pursued her throughout her life.
