That is one super long interview! Enjoyed the things he said about LSK. His left cheek? Is that the one with the dimple?

 

Translated excerpt (slightly modified):

Park, the actors for this family are entirely new to working with this director. In particular, Lee Sun-kyun is a long-time actor who only worked with the director for the first time. 

He has played a variety of roles in the meantime, but he is not someone who can be confined to some stereotypical framework. I had a certain vision of him in the role of President Park, but there were many moments when he showed more than that. In a completely unexpected moment, he threw in some improvised things, flipping the atmosphere of the shot. It was fun. And he was sitting at the back of the luxury car sedan as a young CEO, and it worked so well. I felt the pleasure of shooting the left side of Lee Sun-kyun actor. The left cheek is too good.(Laughter)

Is this his first role as a very rich man?

Some of his other characters were middle-class, but nowhere near Mr. Park's level.

Let's hope his wife doesn't cheat on him this time

I think so. He seems to represent the everyday man very well and that's what many directors like to cast him for. A chaebol LSK would be a treat to see, as long as the attitude is not hard to bear. Hahaha... Can't really make out what the film is supposed to be. In one or two days we should know if it's selected to compete in Cannes or not.

Super excited, and LSK looks dashing as a rich man. Hope the movie gets picked to compete in Cannes. LSK said he had fun shooting:

Yes, he is. I'm very curious about his character and Park family.

 

When is the announcement for Cannes?

 

Baeksang is still two weeks away...

Anyway, have you voted for LSK?

Announcement is on 4/18. Fingers crossed! 

Don't have social media accounts, but I do read your twitter and instagram.

Baeksang teaser

LSK only has one shot, and only from his back...

The longest face shots are Kim Hye Ja and LBH at the ending. Is this some kind of hint for the winners?

I'm not surprised if KHJ win the best actress. But best actor, LBH again? Blegh

Yes!! And this time in competition, not just screened like A Hard Day. Hope the critics like it a lot.

 

Regarding that Baeksang commercial, of course LBH is going to win. What else is new?

Who is in charge of making that video?

Maybe we should counted LSK "lucky" to get that few seconds of back shot, when they didn't even show Kim Seo Hyung (Sky Castle) 

 

Edit:

Did JTBC delete the Baeksang promotional video?

The Twitter link I posted seems missing and the one in YouTube is no longer available...

Oh, really? I hope it's not sign that those two actors indeed were already chosen and JTBC realizing they were giving away big hints.

I hope the fact that he was seated number 2 next to SKH means that his screentime is substantial enough. Still didn't like his styling here too much, especially the hair.   Liked the ring, although it's likely just a designer accessory they asked him to sport, not THE wedding ring:

Have you seen this?

http://m.m-i.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=515929

Lee Sun Kyun said that his part is smaller than he was expected(?) But, since he said that jokingly and SKH also joked about it, I don't know if it's really true... Guess we'll have to wait and see...

 

What about this style?

Nice jacket 

Another interview broadcast on Friday... Yay

Haha, yes I know...

It's just nice to see him wear a wedding ring...

Mr. Park wear one too

I want this booklet

Bong Joon-ho thinks Parasite may be too Korean for Cannes:

More on director's thought:

https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3007278/cannes-film-festival-2019-palme-dor-sights-bong-joon-ho-new

 

“It’s not easy for people with different backgrounds to live together in the same space. It is all the more so in a world where human relations [that are] based on coexistence and co-prosperity have collapsed and some people have to live like parasites, relying on others for their survival”, the director says of his seventh film.

 

“Who can then criticise a family who is getting crazy in [its] struggle to survive in this kind of world? They were not parasites in the beginning. They were our neighbours, friends and colleagues who were driven to the edge of a cliff.”
