It was not too much to say that it was ‘Lee Sun-kyun’s Day’. <탈출 : 프로젝트 사일런스>, <잠> Actor Lee Sun-gyun, who visited the 76th Cannes International Film Festival with two films, must have had the busiest day in Cannes, France on the 22nd (local time).
On the followingnoon of the 23rd, when both films were shown to local audiences, Lee Seon-kyun, whom we met at a cafe in the center of Cannes, said, “It feels like a heavy burden has been lifted off.”
<탈출 :프로젝트 사일런스>(Escape) is the story of people stranded on the Gonghang Bridge, which is in danger of collapsing in thick fog, struggling to survive. <굿바이 싱글>with director Kim Tae-gon of <신과함께> Series director Kim Yong-hwa took charge of directing and producing, respectively. Lee Seon-kyun plays the main character Cha Jeong-won, an administrative officer at the Blue House National Security Office and the right-hand man of Jeong Hyeon-baek (Kim Tae-woo), a prominent presidential candidate. While heading to the airport to see off her daughter Kyung-min (Kim Soo-an), who is leaving to study abroad, she finds herself in the worst disaster situation.
<탈출>This invited Midnight Screening is a section that carefully selects outstanding films from genres such as action, thriller, and horror. As the name suggests, it starts past midnight. The audience who came to see the movie released at the Palais des Festivals Lumiere Grand Theater on that day stayed in their seats until well past 2:00 am and immersed themselves in the movie. At the end of the movie, in one scene where the audience was given ‘cider’, applause broke out. “Oh, it was great. It means that it has been imported. I thought I was lucky.”
On the morning of the 22nd (local time), the 7th day of the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, invited to the Midnight Screening Division <탈출 : 프로젝트 사일런스>Director Kim Tae-gon, cast members (Kim Hee-won, Lee Sun-gyun, Ju Ji-hoon), and producer Kim Yong-hwa (from left) greet the audience on the red carpet.

<파스타> From the chef in the same melodrama <기생충>‘Ph.D.’ <킬링 로맨스>Lee Sun-kyun, who has shown a wide variety of characters, including ‘Jonathan Na’ in <탈출>While taking on the challenge, he said that his worries were ahead of him.
“Few masterpieces of this genre have come to me. (Laughter) There was a side where I thought of myself as ‘minor’ and concluded that it ‘doesn’t suit me’. However, if given, I wanted to try it at least once, but when I received the script, it turned out to be really well made. There was no reason to refuse.”
<탈출>Another reason for Lee Sun-gyun’s challenge was the visual special effects (VFX) that took up most of the running time. Excellent VFX plays a role in bringing a sense of reality to disasters such as the collapse of a bridge. The audience sees the completed screen, but the actors have to act assuming that there is a non-existent existence. “It was very awkward to have to leave it to my imagination,” Lee Sun-gyun confessed.
However, his idea is that as much as the movie environment changes, he should become familiar with special effects. “In the future, there will be more movies with special effects, whether they are blockbuster or not. It is important to breathe among the actors, but it is also important to establish a bond or relationship with the outside scenery. I think it’s another ‘relationship’.”

<탈출>Half a day before it was released, Lee Sun-gyun’s other appearance and Critics’ Weekly invitation <잠>I met this audience. <잠>In “,” Lee Seon-gyun plays ‘Hyun-soo’, a character different from Cha Jung-won, a cold-hearted civil servant. The peaceful daily life of newlyweds Hyeon-su and his wife Soo-jin (Jung Yu-mi) turns to horror when Hyeon-su starts to exhibit strange behavior while sleeping.
Lee Seon-gyun is in pain because he can’t control himself, but he drags the tension throughout the movie through Hyeon-soo, who becomes the object of fear of his family due to his bizarre behavior.
Like this, two faces of completely different colors were shown on one day, at Cannes, France, the world’s greatest film festival. However, Lee Sun-gyun was just humble. “(On the Cannes red carpet) It will probably be the last time. (Laughs) But I love it. I also want to brag. It’s really overwhelming when I get applause following a movie ends. This experience itself is very fortunate.”
These days, Lee Sun-gyun said he thinks a lot regarding the Korean film industry. He began to think regarding how to make the audience go to the theater following watching movies that failed at the box office one following another. He said, “In order to break the phenomenon of distinguishing between movies to watch at the theater and movies to watch at home, various strategies are needed, such as raising interest from the time of filming.”
<탈출>The specific release date of the movie is undecided. Distributor CJ ENM plans to release it in the second half of this year. “It is a great fortune that a movie has its first start in a good place. I hope to go to Korea with this good energy and achieve good results.”
