"Live Stream" Kim Hee Jung, "Park Sung Woong was Scary at First"

Live Stream, tells the story of freelancer PD Dong Joo (Park Sun Ho), who accidentally discovers that his girlfriend Su Jin (Kim Hee Jung) is being live-streamed through a link he received. He desperately battles against the mysterious gentleman (Park Sung Woong) hidden in the broadcast to stop it. It is a real-time live pursuit thriller.

In the film, Kim Hee Jung portrays Su Jin, who becomes a victim of the gentleman's secret live stream without her knowledge.

Kim Hee Jung said during an interview at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, "When I first read the script, I was hooked. The story itself was interesting. However, there were caution and worrisome aspects (regarding the subject matter), but they all disappeared after meeting the director." She talked about her motivation for participating in the film.

She recalled filming Live Stream, saying, "I felt comfortable because Park Sun Ho and Park Sung Woong seniors were also there, and good actors were working together."

Regarding the film's content, which revolves around digital sexual crimes, Kim Hee Jung mentioned that it was a sensitive topic and said, "It requires caution." She explained, "It was difficult to imagine how the character Su Jin should be portrayed and how far it should go. Even from reading the script, I felt a sense of impact." She nodded, expressing her feelings about the provocative comments in the chat window during the live-stream scenes depicted in the film.

She added, "Since the film deals with digital sexual crimes, there were scenes that inevitably had to be shown. I had many discussions with the director on portraying them, and he incorporated those aspects well into the script."Kim Hee Jung, who had to portray a character who was constantly asleep as a victim of the hidden camera, expressed her regret that she couldn't personally watch Park Sung Woong's acting, who was filming in the same scene. She joked, "It was agonizing not to see Park Sung Woong's acting while filming together." She wrapped her head with her hands and laughed.

She explained, "Since I had to keep my eyes closed and pretend to be asleep, I was curious about what Park Sung Woong was doing. When the shooting was over, everyone clapped, and the staff members praised him a lot, but I couldn't see it, so I felt regretful. On the day of the premiere, I saw his performance in the film, and Park Sung Woong did an excellent job."

Kim Hee Jung expressed gratitude towards Park Sung Woong, saying, "Of course, I was scared at first." After a burst of laughter, she continued, "(He may seem gruff, but he's warm-hearted) he has a tsundere style. And he showed a lot of consideration." She added, "In a way, I was lying comfortably. I didn't fall asleep." Playfully, she said, "Park Sung Woong kept checking on me, and he acted so well that the shooting went very quickly. As a result, we finished shooting 5 to 6 hours earlier than the originally scheduled time." She admired the actor's experienced performance on set.

Live Stream will be released on the June 28th.
