Hwang Jung-min on 'Hope' Acting: 'Only Imagination, Meticulous Calculation Required'

Actor Hwang Jung-min shared his unique approach to acting in the upcoming creature film 'Hope,' revealing that he performed his role entirely through imagination due to the absence of co-stars.

"I acted solely on imagination without a co-star," Hwang said at a press conference in Seoul. "It required thorough calculation on my part." He explained that the demands of portraying a character interacting with a creature, which is not physically present during filming, necessitated a highly deliberate and imaginative performance.

The film 'Hope' is set to premiere on the 15th. It centers on a research outpost located in the Demilitarized Zone, a sensitive and heavily fortified area between North and South Korea. The premise suggests a tense and isolated environment, likely amplifying the challenges of Hwang's imaginative performance.
