Actor Joo Ji-hoon (42) presents the back of his head in collaboration with Kim Hee-won.The original Disney+ series 『The Lighting Shop』 (directed by Kang Jung-ful, written by Kim Hee-won) is a story about the story of customers with suspicious secrets coming to the only place that lights up the end of a dark alley”The Lighting Shop” and drew attention as Kim Hee-won’s directorial debut in the original work by Kang Jung-ful. Joo Ji-hoon added a mysterious feeling to the decomposition play with Jung Won-young, who protects the lighting shop in the play.Joo Ji-hoon met with Sports Chosun on the 20th and said, `I was a fan of Kang Pul, and this work does not have the concept of a supporting actor, so each person has a narrative, moves in their time zone, and overlaps at an exquisite moment. It seems to be seen as a situation, not just as a picture. I thought Kang Pul was a genius. In the United States, quite a few works are written by 10 to 20 artists, and I also praise that one person is doing enough.”

I thought it would be okay to be an actor older than me and not too young. I wondered if that was the Maginot Line. Even when I saw the text, I did an asa simulation. The director first told me ‘Do what you want to do’ So I said ‘I’m going to do this. He was a long time older than me and had a good eye, so he told me ‘I knew you’d do that’. I think Wonyoung was an interesting character. I liked the feeling of sitting in the middle and watching. I think if you look at our work, a lot of emotions come out, and I thought that the actor’s acting was the latter and the message was the Zen, rather than the work that showed emotions. I felt a kind of directing gaze.”His work with director Kim Hee-won left Joo Ji-hoon with a new sense of satisfaction. Ju Ji-hoon “Kim Hee-won was the standard. Everyone should do that. The actor plays a role as an actor, and the director can play a role as a director. He played the role he had to play as a director with great sincerity. Hee-won did his part faithfully as a coach. I came out to the scene faithfully in pre-production, and I can’t believe it. As we said, we just have to film it as described. It’s a touching story.”

If the story is fun while watching the script, I think I can’t pay attention. There’s even an old man’s makeup, but he came out short for five hours. I told Heewon that I opened two cards here. Even old age was not the same as my dad. I was surprised.”It’s a complete belief. If it’s a work by director Kim Hee-won, he takes off his feet and plays. “I told Hee-won.” You saw the results, too. The process was good, too. ‘If my brother asks me to do it, I’ll do it without looking at the script.'” That level of trust has been established. You shouldn’t get hit in the back of your head. Haha”
