In the film, Suin and Kitae are former coworkers who dated and later broke up. Speaking about their relationship, Lee Jong Won said, “Kitae goes to Salmokji to help Suin. Even though she is his ex-girlfriend, I think he still cares deeply about her, which is why he immediately wants to help her.” He continued, “Some people might call it lingering feelings, but I think it is love. Kitae is the only one who is still emotionally invested.” Lee Jong Won also revealed how deeply he thought about the role, saying, “I kept thinking about how I could become a dependable ex-boyfriend. Even though Kitae is scared himself, I focused on portraying his desire to overcome that fear and protect Suin.” When asked if he was basically acting out a romance inside a horror movie, he laughed and replied, “Yes. By myself.” He also chose “his gaze” as his greatest strength as an actor, saying, “I am confident in my eyes. I believe they suit any genre and any scene well. I think that is one of my strengths, and I always try to make the most of it. No matter what kind of project it is, I am always ready to jump right in.” #Salmokji #LeeJongWon

Kim Hye Yoon shared a creepy story she experienced during the ritual held before filming the horror movie Salmokji. In an interview on April 2 in Jongno, Seoul, Kim Hye Yoon talked about how she feels ahead of the film’s release. The movie, which will premiere on April 8, tells the story of a mysterious figure caught on the Salmokji road view. When the production team heads to the reservoir to retake the image, they come face to face with something dark and terrifying in the water. Kim Hye Yoon plays PD Suin, who leads the production team to Salmokji to retake the road view photo showing the mysterious figure. Even before filming began, the atmosphere already felt unusual during the ritual. They even invited a shaman and held a large ceremony for safety during filming. Kim Hye Yoon said, “Because this project deals with ghosts, we held a big ritual so that filming could proceed safely.” She then added that she had a strange experience. “The shaman chose a few actors and asked us to pick an obanggi flag. I picked one without thinking much about it, but it turned out that the people who picked them were the ones playing ghosts or characters who die in the movie. It was really creepy.” Kim Hye Yoon, who says she is a fan of horror movies, also shared that she tried to experience something scary while filming. “I would deliberately stare into the dark mountains while filming at the reservoir. I tried looking for something, but it doesn’t seem like any ghost followed me or attached itself to me,” she said with a laugh. When asked if she would be able to go to Salmokji alone, she replied, “I was only brave during filming because there were a lot of people around. But I don’t think I could go alone to an abandoned house or a place like that.” #Salmokji #KimHyeYoon
