“The thriller genre has a clear character and message. So acting is more fun. There is also the pleasure of saying things that I have never said before.”
Actor So Ji-sub (pictured), who appeared in the movie ‘Confession’, said this regarding his feelings regarding challenging the first thriller. In ‘Confession’, which will be released on the 26th, So Ji-sub takes on the role of Yoo Min-ho, a promising businessman who has been pointed out as the only suspect in a murder in a secret room. Prior to the release, he had an interview at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul on the 19th. “So far, I’ve mostly played good roles. It’s a thriller for the first time. As an actor, it’s nice to be able to show the audience ‘a strange side’.”
So Ji-sub, who debuted as a model in 1995, received much love for his dramas ‘I’m Sorry, I Love You’, ‘Master’s Sun’, and the movies ‘I’m Going to Meet You’ and ‘Battleship Island’. This work is directed by Yoon Jong-seok, who made the films ‘Vengeance of Elegy’ and ‘Marine Boy’.
So Ji-sub is not only an actor, but also a film investor. He has invested in independent films, such as ‘Midsoma’ and ‘Madame Proust’s Secret Garden’, which are difficult to reach in theaters. He recently appeared on an entertainment program and said, “The return on investment is negative.” So Ji-sub said, “I plan to invest in independent films.
