Ko Soo Makes a Comeback after 4 Years with “BAEK YA HAENG”
Until now, Ko Soo has appeared in such dramas as "Piano", "Age of Innocence”, "Marrying A Millionaire" etc where he plays a person who is handsome and loved by many. However, in BAEK YA HAENG, a film to be released on November 19th, his image takes on a 180 degree change. He becomes Yohan, an intense and extremely troubled man.
About the Character of Yohan…
“Yohan is a very quiet person. He is not a character who expresses his feelings with many words. I was initially concerned about how to portray the troubled Yohan. I avoided expressing it by careful action and technique. I made an effort to express his dark feelings with my eyes.”
“I tried to express Yohan with a melancholy life. In order to assimilate my emotions into the feelings of Yohan, I finished becoming Yohan. I wasn’t going to do it on purpose but I thought it was the correct answer to stand before the camera with feelings of Yohan.”
About his co-stars…
“I always wanted to work with Son Ye Jin. I was lucky that I could be in the film with Son Ye Jin and Han Seok Kyu simultaneously. I was overjoyed. When the casting was decided, I was full of anticipation that I could learn a lot from them during the filming process”, he said.
“In the beginning, the image of Miho was vague. But after meeting Son Ye Jin, the image of Miho became firm (clear). I watched Son Ye Jin and was amazed at her powerful performance. She is spot-on as Miho. I was able to learn a lot from her.”
“Senior Han Seok Kyu is a legend among actors. He has stability and a performance style which is peculiar to a senior. His scenario analysis is superior. I am delighted to have worked with him in the movie. He isn’t the type who talks a lot but he is a good mentor. I benefited a lot from talking to him on the set.”
Can you submit to the extreme situation of Yohan’s love in BAEK YA HAENG? We are concerned whether the real Ko Soo will resemble Yohan in giving up his all to devote his life to the woman he loves.
“In love, there is the devoted or self-sacrificing aspect and there is also the aspect that isn’t so friendly. I will try to take good care of my partner to the maximum. But there will also be a time when I become careless when I concentrate on my work.”
Marriage…
I have not thought about it yet. There are so much things that I want to do. I think maybe after I finish doing them…
Future Goals…
I have a desire towards a performance in various forms. I want to be recognized as an actor and I want to be an actor whom many other actors would like to collaborate with.
