Park Hoon Jung Director Interview on Lee Jong Suk’s role in VIP

 

Q: As a suspect, the North Korean “V.I.P.” Kim Gwang Il became the title of the movie, this sexuality (T/N: this word is used for describing porn, dirty jokes or revealing clothes, I am not sure what exactly the role will be like) of this role is very strong. What is the reason for casting Lee Jong Suk in this role?

A: As you have said, that is the “title role”. Therefore, I want someone with the appearance that is really like “V.I.P.”. Someone who has not touched soil with his own hands when he grew up. someone who thinks everyone is beneath him, shall I say someone who feels like a medieval feudal lord’s only son? Actor Lee Jong Suk’s appearance fits the image of what I thought nobles ought to be like. By nature, it is a character that is of a great burden for an actor, so at first I hesitated a bit during the casting, however, he himself showed great enthusiasm for the character. In North Korea, for Gwang Il, apart from the people who are more superior to his father, he treats all others as slaves or servants, so he does not show his emotions to others. Lee Jong Suk usually shows great charm when he smiles but in this movie, instead of smiles, I always ask him to show cool or indifferent expressions. 

-용의자로 지목되는 북한의 ‘V.I.P.’ 김광일이라는 인물의 표현 수위가 굉장히 세다. 이 역할에 이종석을 캐스팅한 이유는.

 

 

=말 그대로 ‘타이틀롤’이잖나. 그래서 정말 ‘V.I.P.’라는 말에 어울릴 만한 외모를 원했다. 어려서부터 손에 흙 한번 묻혀본 적이 없고, 모든 사람들이 자기 발밑에 있다고 생각할 법한, 중세 봉건 영주의 외동아들 같은 느낌이랄까. 이종석 배우는 외형적으로 내가 생각했던 귀족적인 이미지와 가장 맞아떨어지는 배우였다. 워낙 배우로서 위험부담이 큰 캐릭터라 처음에는 캐스팅을 좀 망설였는데 오히려 본인이 이 역할에 큰 열의를 보여줬다. 광일은 북한에서 아버지보다 당 서열이 높은 사람들 외에는 노예나 하인 취급을 하는 인물이다보니 희로애락의 감정을 잘 드러내지 않는다. 평소에 웃는 모습이 참 매력적인 이종석 배우지만, 이번 영화에서는 그 웃음 대신 서늘하거나 심드렁한 표정을 주문하고 있다.

Cool tension closing in on "VIP" director Park Hoon-jeong-I

photo800328.jpg

A man in a suit looking out the window, haggard from the previous night's drinking and at that moment, another man is doing work in the office, exhausted; this is what director Park Hoon-jeong-I of the new movie "VIP" thought of while he was in the process of making the movie. The dilemma of people who have to move against their will as a serrated wheel of the system, is what Park paid attention to for a long time. The Korean National Intelligence and police, the North Korean Intelligence and the American CIA get involved over a man who is a suspect in "VIP" and it expands on the relationship between politics and dilemma.

- What brought you the opportunity to create a film that illuminates the conflicts and conflicts of state power agencies?

Park Hoon-jeong-I: I wanted to talk about interests and politics between power institutions and the dilemma that came from it. There have been cases in the past where state agencies haven't been able to clean up the mess they made but it's not the individuals that are bad, they just don't have a choice in that situation and they fall into dilemma.

- What would be one of those 'past events'?

The motive of the movie would be the Susie Kim case in 1987 where a Korean woman in Hong Kong was murdered by her husband but the National Security Planning Department cornered her as a North Korean agent. This was buried for about 10 years until the truth came out. When past cases like this are illuminated in present times, the responsibility is on the members of the organization, not just the sources. They don't have direct responsibility, although in the process of resolving the case, they have to make choices and this is what I want to talk about.

- It's interesting that you used a serial killer from Korea as a major crime suspect in North Korea

If someone can't move freely in the Korean society, I needed someone who was non-us. North Korea is something like that. We are so close but we can't disregard America and China. It was only possible because it's the North and South.

- The level of expressions by Kim Gwang-il in "VIP" is quite strong. Why did you cast Lee Jong-suk for it?

Because it's the title role. I needed someone who looked like "VIP"; someone who looks like he's never had to work a day in his life and someone who looked like he would think everyone is under his feet. Someone with the feeling of the only son of the medieval feudal lord. Lee Jong-suk was the actor with the royal look I wanted. The character is quite risky for an actor so I was hesitant but he was more passionate about it. Gwang-il treats anyone below his father's rank like servants and he doesn't show expression. Lee Jong-suk is a smiley person, but in this movie, he's just cold and expressionless.

- The Korean National Intelligence, the North Korean Security Performance and the American CIA get involved in the movie. Politics among secret agents seems to be an important axis of narrative

If "The Unjust" was about the mayhem between prosecutor to prosecutor and construction mafias, "The New Generation" was about politics between gangsters in ties. This movie spreads a little farther and talks about politics according to the nation's interests. They say three people can talk politics. I think politics is a basic instinct in humans and so it seems that we are constantly interested in this invisible political network.

Synopsis of "VIP"

A VIP from North Korea is taken as a likely suspect to a series of killings in the South. The suspects name is Kim Gwang-il (Lee Jong-suk). Chae I-do (Kim Myeong-min), a policeman who is put on the special investigations team, is sure Kim Gwang-il is the criminal. Meanwhile, National Intelligence Agent Park Jae-hyeok (Jang Dong-gun) need to get his hands on Kim Gwang-il before the police does because he holds the key to the relationship between the United States and public relations. Lee Dae-beom (Park Hee-soon) is a North Korean Security Agent who is on the search for Gwang-il.
