MC Kyunglim: "There are more scenes when you get beaten, how was it?"
Woobin : "As you can see (in teaser), I looked weak(?) so I get hit a lot. I almost never get a scene when I get to hit people."
MC Kyunglim : "In those kind of scenes sometimes you really need to get hit. It must be hard for you."
Woobin : "I'm so thankful because everyone did it really well so I didn't get hurt on the process. As you can see (in teaser) I got dragged a lot and get beaten, but actually I feel more at ease than when I hit people because I don't need to feel uncomfortable by hitting others."
MC Kyunglim : "How was it when you see Kang Dong Won got hurt?"
Woobin : "I thought the sky has fallen. He shed a lot of blood, but still he drank a lot that day." [t/n Kang Dong Won got hurt when filming a car stunt, he was actually prohibited from drinking alcohol]

MC Kyunglim : "It must be hard shooting overseas, the fans could disturb the filming process especially with hallyu stars like you. How was the filming in Manila?"
Woobin : "It went rather smoothly- (he got interrupted by KDW)"
Kang Dong Won : "I'll explain how was the situation back then. These two are so famous overseas, so many people recognize them, it was so tiring. I stand at the back telling them not to take pictures..."
MC Kyunglim : "You blocked them from taking pictures?"
Kang Dong Won : "Yes. They didn't recognize me of course. The fans secretly took pictures of Woobin, so I told them 'Don't take a picture~'."

Three top actors team up for Korean film 'Master'

By Shim Sun-ah

SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- "Master," a Korean crime action film set to open next month, is one of the most-anticipated movies of the winter season for its star-studded cast.

It has Lee Byung-hun, Kang Dong-won and Kim Woo-bin, top actors who represent three different age groups in the Korean film industry.

The movie revolves around a multibillion-dollar heist plotted by Chairman Jin, a notorious swindler, and the head of the police's intelligence crime unit who chase him. Jin's right-hand man, who is an expert computer programmer, also has a big role.

Lee plays Chairman Jin, a charismatic businessman and master con artist who is good at changing his appearance and persuading others with sweet words.

This marks his first villain since director Kim Jee-woon's "The Good, The Bad, The Weird," released in 2008.

"I have played roles close to bad over the past several years. But this is my first time to play such a character who is evil to the bone since 'The Good, The Bad, The Weird,'" Lee said during a news conference for the new film at CGV-Apgujeong theater in southern Seoul.

He excluded the T-1000 robot assassin he played in the Hollywood action film "Terminator Genisys" last year because it is not a human character.

Even for the veteran actor with more than 25 years of experience in his career, it was a challenge to play the Chairman Jin character.

"When actors play a character who is evil to the bone, it is difficult for them to have empathy with such a character. So they desperately strive to make themselves be persuaded by the character," he said.

After many hours of study and discussions with the director, he reached the conclusion that Jin is a person who thinks differently from ordinary people and isn't even aware that he is doing bad things. "I was able to act only after that," he said.

"Master" also stars Kang as Kim Jae-myeong, a righteous police officer who tries to track Jin as the head of the intelligence crime team at the National Police Agency and Kim Woo-bin as Park Jang-gun, Jin's closest associate who is in charge of the company's computer room.

It was helmed by Cho Ui-seok, best known for "Cold Eyes," which drew over 5 million viewers in 2013, and has actress Uhm Ji-won and actor Oh Dal-su in supporting roles.

The film is set to open in local theaters in December.

Excerpt of a Q & A from "Master" press conference ( A translation ) 

Q:  What is the most difficult in overseas location shooting?

 

LBH:   "The area where shooting took place always has an indescribable odor which is most difficult to endure.  However, because of enviromental impact, we often ate breakfast very early in the morning.  Next to our location is a pig slaughterhouse where there is always a pool of pig blood.  Due to  high humidity and temperature the blood turned rancid quickly.  Since we could only eat our lunch bento in that enviroment, we got used to it.  Although the weather was very hot, all the film crew had to wear masks when working."
