Actor Park Hae-soo and director Lee Hae-young are answering questions at the movie ‘Ghost’ (director Lee Hae-young) production briefing held at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall in Hangang-ro, Seoul on the morning of the 19th.
Park Hae-soo took on the role of Kaito Takahara, the head of the bodyguard of the Japanese Government-General of Korea, and acted 100% in Japanese. Park Hae-soo said regarding acting in Japanese, “I was so afraid. I wanted to do it because the character was attractive, but I thought that doing this role would harm other actors. The director gave me his trust, so I just went to the Olympics and studied for the CSAT.” said.
Director Lee Hae-young said, “I fell in love with Park Hae-soo when I first met him. He seemed very sincere. In fact, I memorized a huge amount of Japanese lines in just two weeks. I memorized the lines in Japanese and memorized them in Korean. (Park Hae-soo) is the guardian angel who saved the ‘ghost’.”
