Actor ‌Lee Seung-gi is answering reporters’ ​questions⁢ at⁢ the production briefing session‍ for the movie ‘Big Family’ ​(directed ‌by Yang Woo-suk) ​held at the Lotte Cinema Konkuk University⁣ entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on ⁣the morning of the 12th.⁣ ‘Big ‌Family’ is‍ a​ family comedy about ⁢the owner (Kim Yun-seok)​ of a‌ dumpling restaurant ⁢called ‘Pyeong Man-ok’ who lost his wages because of his son (Lee Seung-gi) who became a monk, and when cute grandchildren he’s never seen before ⁢come to visit him,​ he ends ⁤up living together in an unexpected and amazing ⁣way. It will be released on December 11th. 2024.11.12 [서울=뉴시스]

At the press conference for the movie⁣ ‘Big Family’ held ⁣at⁢ the ⁣Lotte Cinema Konkuk University entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the⁢ 12th, singer and actor⁣ Lee Seung-gi responded to‌ a question‌ about the controversy over ⁣his father-in-law’s stock price manipulation by saying, “I am cautious because​ it⁣ is a private matter.‌ “If I⁢ have caused a ‌misunderstanding, I think I should act‍ carefully,”⁣ he⁢ said.

Last June, he issued an official statement regarding the controversy over ⁢stock price manipulation by his father-in-law and husband of actor Kyun Mi-ri, Lee, saying, “Don’t mess⁤ with the family,” ​and he explained ​this once ​again. Lee Seung-gi​ also said ⁣that it did not seem⁢ appropriate to talk about⁣ this sign in detail as this was an opportunity to talk about​ the movie ‘Big Family’.

◇Lee Seung-gi even shaved his head‌ for​ acting

Lee Seung-gi shaved his head for ⁤the first time in his life to⁣ play the role of abbot Ham Mun-seok. He⁢ said, “At first, I​ had higher expectations about acting with this ​combination of actors,⁤ but when ⁤my hair was shaved,⁢ I ‍thought, ⁣‘I’m in big trouble.’” He said he wore a wig for 3 ‍to 4 ⁣months because he had other schedules.

In the play, Ham Mun-seok ‍gets caught ⁢up in an unexpected incident after donating sperm in the past. Regarding this,‍ he said, “I have ​made many donations, but since I have no⁢ experience in this field, it was done very quickly. “I‌ know it ⁣has produced a ⁣lot⁢ of good results,” he joked.

◇Lee Seung-gi shaves ​his head, and ⁣Kim Yun-seok has red hair?

Lee Seung-gi and Kim ‍Yun-seok worked together as father⁣ and son.⁢ In‌ relation to this, Lee Seung-gi said⁢ that among the reasons for choosing the work, “51% was ⁢because the director wrote the script, and Kim⁤ Yun-seok was⁣ the remaining‍ 49%.” He also said, ⁤“An important ​criterion is what kind‌ of inspiration or ⁣stimulation you can ⁢receive from the⁤ people you work with.”

Kim Yun-seok also dyed his hair red‍ for the work. Kim‍ Yun-seok said, “While most works rely on fast-paced and provocative events, this work’s⁣ scenario ‍was a very ‍rare one,” and explained the‍ reason why he chose ‘Big Family’ despite undergoing an unconventional transformation.

‘Big Family’ is a comedy movie,‌ but ⁢Ham Moo-ok is very serious.⁢ According to Kim Yun-seok, he has been running ⁤a ⁣dumpling restaurant in⁣ downtown Jongno-gu, Seoul ‌for ‍38 years after Vietnam, and is ​“a terrible person ⁤who ‍does not⁣ change his mind⁢ even ‌when the entire surrounding area⁤ becomes a forest​ of ‍buildings.”

Kim Yun-seok then said, “Actually, ⁢my son was a doctor and I should have had a doctor daughter-in-law, but how did this ⁤tragedy happen?” Ham Mun-seok​ graduated from medical school, and his​ ex-girlfriend Han Ga-yeon (Kang Hanna) ⁣is‌ also a doctor. The two broke up when Ham Mun-seok ⁢became a monk.

◇“A movie like ⁤warm dumpling soup”

The restaurant⁣ run by Ham Moo-ok⁢ sells dumpling soup. There⁣ are many foods, but when asked ⁣why ‌he chose dumpling⁢ soup as the subject ‍matter, director Yang Woo-seok said, “When‍ it comes to ⁢Lunar New Year, it’s ⁤dumpling soup. ⁤“Mandutguk is like the alter ego of ​Ham Mu-ok, ‍who came ‌from the North,” he said. Since ‘Big Family’ is⁤ a‌ movie about family, it ‍features food ‌eaten on New Year’s ⁢Day ‍in Korea, when the‌ whole⁤ family gathers. Especially⁣ in the North,⁣ people eat dumpling soup.

As for what differentiates it from‌ existing ⁤family dramas, Kim Yun-seok said, ⁢“A large family has many ⁤meanings. “The title of our work is ‘About family,’ and it‍ also has an aspect of meaning ‘about family.’” In this way,⁣ ‘extended family’ questions not only family as a bloodline, but ⁢also how far ⁤we⁣ can think ⁤of ourselves as family and embrace each other.

Lastly, Kim Yun-seok said, “I am confident that ⁣our work is as warm as dumpling‍ soup⁣ and is most‌ suitable for an outing to⁣ the theater with the whole family. He emphasized, “At least​ 200 ‍people need ‌to come to the ‍theater⁢ to see⁢ it.”

‘Big⁤ Family’‌ will be released ⁤in‍ theaters on December ‌11th.

Interview‍ between Time.news Editor and Film Expert on the Movie ‘Big Family’

Time.news Editor: Welcome, everyone! Today, we have⁤ an exciting ‌interview with film expert ⁤Dr. Jun Park, who will share insights about ‌the upcoming family comedy film ‘Big Family’, directed by Yang Woo-suk, which is set for release on December 11th.

Dr. ⁢Jun Park: ‍ Thank you for having me! I’m thrilled to discuss this film, as it blends humor with heartfelt family ​dynamics.

Editor: ‌ Absolutely! The film features Lee Seung-gi in a pivotal role as a ​monk named ​Ham Mun-seok, who​ faces unexpected challenges⁢ when his estranged grandchildren visit.​ What’s your take on ⁣this unique ‌premise?

Park: ⁤ The‌ concept is quite refreshing. It captures ‍the essence of familial relationships — both their complexities and the surprises ⁢they can bring.‍ The ​idea of a monk whose life is transformed by a sudden influx of ‍family is intriguing and allows⁣ for​ a​ mix of humor and emotional depth.

Editor: ⁣ In the recent production briefing, ⁣Seung-gi mentioned that​ he shaved⁤ his head for this role for the first time. How do ‍you think this physical ⁤transformation contributes to ⁣his character?

Park: Physical transformations can be powerful​ tools in performance. In this case, shaving his head not only reflects the ⁣character’s monastic lifestyle but also⁢ serves as⁤ a metaphor for the shedding of ⁤past life and attachments.‌ It symbolizes a new⁤ beginning, which is fitting given the‌ character’s journey of reconnecting with family.

Editor: Interestingly,⁤ Lee Seung-gi also touched on⁤ a sensitive subject during the⁢ press conference—the controversy over his⁣ father-in-law’s ⁣alleged stock price manipulation. He mentioned he wants to act‍ carefully due to ⁢its private nature. How do ‍you think personal controversies like⁤ this can impact an actor’s performance ‍or public⁤ perception?

Park: Personal ⁢controversies can often overshadow ‍an actor’s⁣ work, which can be ⁤a double-edged⁢ sword. For some,⁤ it adds ⁤a layer of⁣ depth to their public ⁢persona, while for others, it can detract from their professional achievements. It’s crucial for actors‌ like Seung-gi to navigate these ‍situations delicately, as he did, by ‍focusing discussions on the film rather than personal affairs.

Editor: Well put. It seems that both ‌Lee Seung-gi and his⁣ co-star ‌Kim Yun-seok, who dyed his ‌hair ⁢red for the film, are fully committed to their‌ roles. Kim described the film’s scenario as an ‍extremely rare one. What stands out to you about this narrative?

Park: The rarity of the scenario‌ indeed ⁢makes it intriguing. While many films focus on fast-paced and ‌provocative ⁤events, ‘Big⁣ Family’ opts for a slower, more character-driven approach. The premise allows for character ⁢development⁣ and explores the themes of redemption​ and reconciliation within a comedic framework.

Editor: ​Speaking‍ of comedy, do you believe that the comedic‌ elements ‌in ‌‘Big Family’‌ will resonate with audiences?

Park: Absolutely. Comedy⁢ is a‌ universal​ language, and when paired with relatable ⁢family ‌dynamics, it can resonate‍ deeply. As seen in past successful family comedies, ⁤humor often serves as ‌a vehicle for ⁤addressing ​serious themes, ⁢making them more palatable while still impactful.

Editor: ‍ Before we ​wrap ⁤up, what message do you think ⁤the film sends about family and community?

Park: At ⁣its core, ‘Big‌ Family’ seems to ⁢remind us that ‌family, despite its flaws and complexities, is essential. The unexpected gatherings ⁤can lead to surprising connections and healing, ⁤emphasizing that love and understanding can bring people together,‍ no matter‌ their past disputes.

Editor: ⁣Thank you, Dr. Park, for sharing your insights today! ⁢It seems like ‘Big Family’ ​is set to be a⁢ memorable film that balances humor⁣ with ⁢heartfelt storytelling. We look ⁢forward ⁣to its⁤ release!

Park: Thank you for having ‌me! I⁢ can’t wait to see ⁤how audiences respond to this ​film. It’s going to ⁢be a joyful ride!
