SEOUL, Jan. 12 (Yonhap) - "It was like a blockbuster when my character was in a hotel room with 'Junji' (Seol Kyung-gu). I went in thinking that I should never be pushed back by Seol Kyung-gu."
In the movie "Phantom," which is set to be released on the 18th, Lee Ha-nee will show a fierce action scene against her senior Seol Kyung-gu in a remote hotel room.
Lee Ha-nee, who plays the role of Cha-kyung in the film, throws a punch in the face of Seol Kyung-gu, who plays the role of the Japanese military officer "Junji" and Junji, who is beaten by Cha-kyung falls down to the ground.
Cha-kyung shows the typical example of a "strong unnie" who is beaten as if her body is broken by Junji's counterattack, but is not pushed back by Junji at the physical fight.
The film “Phantom,” which depicts the activities of the anti-Japanese organization spy “Phantom,” who hid in the Japanese Government General of Korea during Japanese colonial period has many tense action scenes. At the center of all this is Lee Ha-nee along with Seol Kyung-gu.
Lee Ha-nee, who Yonhap news met at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on Thursday, described the hotel room action scene as "a scuffle of power" and "a roaring energy."
"I thought the action scene would be a failure if the audience sees the differences in weight class and gender. I acted while thinking a lot that it was the last match for death.”
In the film, there are several scenes in which Cha-kyung kills the enemy using a rifle. No matter how light the rifle is made, it weighs at least 4kg and it is not easy to load and shoot.
"I have to hold the rifle all day, load it, and shoot it, so I had a bruise here (right arm). In order to get used to the rifle, I made a gun and carried it around in my car and hold it. All I thought about was touching a gun."
In front of the reporter, she repeatedly showed herself holding a rifle with both hands, loading it, and shooting it.
"Click like this, click like this".
Lee Ha-nee has experienced marriage, pregnancy and childbirth, and childcare in turn over the past 2 years. Her daughter, who came to the world last year, has already been in her seventh month.
Regarding a series of experiences as a woman, Lee Ha-nee said, "I really want other people to experience it," adding, "How can a human do something more perfect than raising a human in one’s womb and sending a child into the world,” mentioning the word “wonderness.”
"Phantom" is Lee Ha-nee’s return to the screen after giving birth.
She has confessed that when she came back and took a photo with the photo wall behind her, it felt like she was doing an "actor cosplay." She said she thought she had been an actress for a long time, but she asked herself a basic question, "What kind of actress should I be in the future?" as she felt the sudden feeling of unfamiliarity.
The answer she found was to be an actress as a 'living person'.
"I want to be an actress who lives with others and who melts one’s own life into acting rather than just acting." I've been told that I don't want to expose pregnancy or childbirth to people, but it's a natural thing that I've been through. I don't want to hide it because I'm an actress."
