When asked about the movie, Jung replied, “It is a film that explores human nature rather than judging historical events. From a certain moment, I played the role of a beggar on the scene. A role that keeps calling and accessing, a human figure trying to break through helplessness.”

Jung also revealed that he watches Korean movies regularly at the theater whenever he can. At the same time, he stated, “Slogans saying that Korean movies are having a hard time and to please come watch our movie are meaningless and shameful.”

He revealed the harsh reality of the movie world, “Suddenly, on-site ticket reservations became easier. There were no more sofas to sit on while waiting for movies. I know this because I am an actor who watches all the movies in theaters. I wonder how many actors feel this.”

He continued, “Actors only say ‘Please come to the theater’ when their movie is being released in theaters. I want to say honestly (to my juniors), ‘Do you go to the theater to watch a Korean movie when it’s released?’”
He advised, “You should definitely go see other actors, other Korean films, small films, low-budget films, and be a part of the audience.”
Meanwhile, Jung appears in the new K-drama Tell Me That You Love Me and revealed he stopped drinking for five months to film this drama.
