SEOUL, Sept. 19 (Yonhap) -- "I did not expect this much blood to splatter"

Actor and singer Seo In-guk has played villain for the first time in 10 years of his acting career in sci-fi action thriller film "Project Wolf Hunting." Seo In-guk, who met with Yonhap News Agency at a cafe in Seoul on Tuesday said, "I always thought of playing a villain in the next work when filming was over," adding, "I felt good when someone said my eyes turned like I was insane. Starting with this film, I hope different characters stretch out like branches."

Character Jong-doo is wanted by Interpol for first-degree murder and gets arrested in Philippines. After getting on the Frontier Titan, which S. Korean police sent to escort criminals, he removes handcuffs and attempts to steal the convoy. As the head of a criminal organization in the past, he leads the rebellion on board. Then, he leaves the movie in the middle of the movie as the transcendental "Alpha" suddenly appeared.

Jong-doo is a animal-like character who has tattoo all over his body, chew his braces and bleeds, and spit policeman's ear that he bit. Whenever he appears, provocative scenes such as murder, body exposure,and mocking the dead are displayed. He has only few lines. The actor said, "I wanted to make some thing else other than cruelty."

"I thought about about what I can do as the head of criminal organization. I put on weight by eating five meals a day to give an impression that I can fight well. This was the first time to expose my body. I was not too embarrassed because tattoo stickers covered my body like tights."

The movie was issued for its cruelty at 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. While this is his third movie after "No Breathing" (2013) and "Pipeline" (2021), this is the first time he received attention at an international film festival. Seo In-guk said, "I saw the completed work at the festival and was amazed by people's cheer," adding, "I think people thought blood spattering effect was refreshing."

Seo In-guk compared the story line of the movie to to Quentin Tarantino's work, saying, "I thought such movie could come out form Korea," adding, "I want you to watch the movie with pure mind. I think it would be nice to experience new attempt and the birth of new genre."
