Despite our different tendencies, Lee Jung-jae and I are similar in a sense that we are very earnest about movies that we work on.”

How would you define cool?” with a smile Jung Woo-sung continued on with his words “It was very hard chasing after an illusion because it’s very hard to grasp the idea. However, I have decided to dive into the internal struggle both protagonist faces and the cause of it. I think I have gained a lot of confidence through ‘Hunt’, if I run into any scenario that’s suitable for both of us I will dive right in without hesitation.”
