[Song Kyu-ha confirmed casting for the role of Sukjong in director Kim Jeong-nam’s new film ‘The Most High’]
Reporter Kwon Hyeok-min of Inha Economy = Actor Song Gyu-ha confirmed his casting for the role of Suk-jong in director Kim Jeong-nam’s new film ‘The Supreme’ (produced by Tyrone Pictures) on the 27th.
Song Kyu-ha, who showed off her extraordinary presence as a pure love of only one woman while a sculptor cut off from the world in TVM’s ‘Pygmalion’, is scheduled to collaborate with director Kim Jeong-nam for the first time through the movie ‘The Supreme’.
Contrary to the fact that the film industry is very unconventional, it is known that director Kim Jeong-nam directly sent an active love call to Song Kyu-ha, which is a hot topic.
Before entering the work, Song Kyu-ha said, “It is a great honor to be able to appear in the work of director Kim Jeong-nam, whom all actors want to work with. I will do my best not to cause any pressure,” he said, expressing his strong aspirations.
‘Jijon (至尊)’, which confirmed unconventional casting such as Song Kyu-ha and Hong Da-eun, is a new work released two years after director Kim Jeong-nam’s ‘Ttukbaegi’. .

“What ideas should I come up with at this meeting?”
Cinema 24
In the field of film magazines, it is a media company with its own history and tradition, and boasts a powerful influence enough to be regarded as the Hanyang Ilbo of the film industry. It is safe to say that it was virtually monopolizing the domestic film magazine market.
What is the image people usually think of when it comes to film journalists?
“Ah~ The people who leave 20-character reviews that seem to be on the portal site as much as possible?”
Of course, it wasn’t unrelated, but leaving a review was less than 10% of the total work, and there were more other things to do. Among them, the most important is the interview with the actor and the director.
It was because there was a lot of information that could not be known from ordinary press releases alone.
At Cinema24, about three times a week, the coverage team and the media department gather together to have an idea meeting about what kind of content to present that week, and today was the day.
Hwang Seon-jin, head of the media department, asked Gi-baek Lee from the coverage team.
“Ki-baek, did you hear the news?”
“What else is this time? Where else did you hear that? This hyung seems to be working harder than me, who is on the reporting team.”
Hwang Seon-jin is usually quick to contact and spread celebrity-related rumors and rumors here and there, so I wondered what else he was asking this time.
“Yumma, this time it’s for real! I had a drink with someone from Tyron yesterday, and this time it’s a new film directed by Kim Jeong-nam. is it jon? Anyway, he even auditioned for the lead role!”
“Isn’t that confirmed as Song Gyu-ha’s lead role?”
“It was confirmed as Song Gyu-ha. It was an unconventional casting, so it was hot on our side as well. But as it turns out, do you know who competed in the audition this time? No, it was Kim Won-hae, Kim Won-hae.”
“Yeah? Do you want Kim? Last year’s Huanglong supporting actor? ah~ that’s unbelievable No matter how popular Song Kyu-ha is, she is no different from a rookie who just barely received the rookie award. Does it make sense when you think of it?”
“Of course not! but it’s real Of course, your company is thoroughly cracking down on employees, but how can it be completely hidden? And it’s not a completely unfounded statement. In the first place, Kim Won-hae implicitly appealed that he wanted to work with director Kim Jeong-nam, right?”
“That’s true… but it’s amazing if it’s real.”
“But there are also many sayings that director Kim Jong-nam can do that. In my previous work, I was hooked on an extra and casted as a supporting role on the spot. As you know, that actor is Kwon Soon-cheol, who is popular now.”
“That’s a story that’s so famous in this world.
“right? Right? Hey Kim Won-hae, I didn’t want to look like I was being cheeky because I was a little hot. hehehehe.”
“Well, brother, watch your mouth too. You know that it gets tiring when people talk about it coming out of hyung’s mouth because the floor is narrow.”
“Dude, it’s been 20 years since I’ve been cooking jjambab on this floor. Because it’s you, I don’t talk about it anywhere else.”
“I know, I know. He was once my shooter, maybe I don’t know him.”
“So, why don’t we schedule an interview with director Kim Jong-nam this time? You and I are still friends. I secretly dug up casting-related information. Even if it’s not that, I think there’s a lot to be saved.”
Gi-baek’s ears perked up at Hwang Seon-jin’s words.
“Five? Are you okay bro? What’s up? Come up with such good ideas.”
“bastard! It’s because hyung didn’t do it, but if you do it once, it’s an idea bank.”
“Anyway, I have to schedule an interview with director Kim Jong-nam. Thank you.”
After the meeting, Lee Ki-baek, who immediately contacted director Kim Jong-nam, was able to schedule an interview with Kim Jong-nam more easily than he thought.
***
Mild Isles Studio in Nonhyeon-dong.
It was director Kim Jeong-nam’s studio and also the place where the interview was to take place.
“Hello, Director Kim! long time no see.”
“Hey, reporter. It’s been a really long time. I guess we’ll see each other in three years?”
“hahahaha, has it already been that time? I couldn’t see the previous work because a reporter other than me was covering it, and I heard rumors that director Kim was filming a new work, so this time I just rushed over. I’m afraid I’ll be taken away by a tough guy again.”
“hahahahaha, reporter Lee is still the same. Come in and have a cup of coffee.”
“Director, you know that I don’t drink any coffee. To drink with the director, I personally airlifted coffee brewed with first-class Arabica beans from Costa Rica. I also bought some coffee beans.”
Director Kim Jeong-nam, who is a coffee fanatic to the point of drinking more than five cups of coffee a day, was slightly moved by Lee Ki-baek’s consideration and sincerity.
“No, I bought all of these again. I really can’t stop. hahahaha.”
Perhaps thanks to the efforts of reporter Lee Ki-baek, the atmosphere of the interview started warmly from the beginning.
“Yes, this time, we are going to conduct an interview with director Kim Jeong-nam, who confirmed the crank-in for the new film ‘The Supreme.’ First of all, how did you come up with the concept of the supreme being?”
“I like Korean history, and since I was in my 20s, I have been obsessed with Sukjong, the 19th king of the Joseon Dynasty. I thought that the true king of macho, the man among men, was King Sukjong, so I had a lot of admiration for him.
However, when I saw King Sukjong in the TV drama, he was portrayed as a person who was swayed around by Jang Hee-bin and other women’s skirts in a fragile image.
But that’s nonsense. Rather, it was King Sukjong who was more vehement in politics than Taejong Lee Bang-won, who was famous for his ruling politics, or Sejo, who was famous for Prince Suyang.
Taejong and Sejo did not purify the public as much as they did, but Sukjong carried out three times of returning the country, which literally changed everything.
As such, Sukjong wielded the most powerful royal authority throughout the entire 500-year history of the Joseon Dynasty.
I wanted to correct that misunderstanding, and the movie ‘The Most High’ is a film only for King Sukjong, by King Sukjong, and for King Sukjong.”
“I’m already looking forward to it just by the explanation. Then, what would be the biggest feature of the movie ‘The Supreme?’
“First of all, I plan to eliminate all the obvious and common clichés. I plan to boldly throw away the new wave, fantasy, and flashy action that historical drama films have shown in recent years, and lead the film with a heavy-handed method that focuses exclusively on the characters.
Recent movies tend to use too many devices. Rather than going with the audience, there were many cases where I went ahead of the audience and operated some device. However, I plan to show through ‘Jijon’ that even a film that breaks away from the typical clichés of existing Korean films can be made with the power of an actor and a sincere message that the public can fully love. .”
“The ambition is great. Director? How was the reaction around you?”
“Of course, I also dried a lot of things around me. No, why is it Sukjong who makes up stories about people like Admiral Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong the Great? I’ve heard a lot of people say, ‘Are you crazy?’ for a movie that drastically reduced the proportion of women who have been the main characters in dramas, such as Jang Hee-bin and Queen In-hyeon.
Every time I hear such a story, whether it is a historical drama or a commercial film, I am obsessed with the box office box without any challenge or attempt, and should I make a film with the goal of reaching 10 million unconditionally? Are challenges unacceptable? I always had a feeling of regret about it.
So I mustered up my courage this time, but luckily the production company believed in me and decided to proceed, and above all, many really good and trustworthy actors gathered. Performance is the second issue for me. Let’s think only about cinema and make a film without blemish, a film that everyone can applaud. Scores matter after that. I am planning to make this film with the thought of that.”
“This is where the director’s tenacity stands out. Speaking of which, there was an issue regarding the casting of the lead actors. You cast Kyu-ha Song, who can still be called a rookie, for the role of Suk-jong. Is there a special reason?”
Director Kim Jong-nam, who had a cup of coffee in his mouth, probably said a lot, smiled meaningfully as if he had expected the question.
“The role of Sukjong in my mind should have been a person who could embrace all these words: fear, anger, dignity, ambition, and love. I needed an actor who could captivate all the audience with his acting alone and assimilate everyone watching into the play at the climax.
There are many great actors in our country, but I couldn’t find one who could embrace all of them. However, when I was exhausted because there was no progress in casting, my son begged me to go to the Taebaek Mountain Snow Festival because a friend boasted about it. I headed to Taebaek with my son and wife with the feeling that it would be okay if I clear my head in a place with good air.
And there, he first encountered Song Gyu-ha, who was standing in front of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, Seong-woong, who he had carved himself. It may be hard to believe, but I felt it then. that’s the actor Of course, if you ask me to explain logically, I am not confident that I will understand. But apparently my intuition pointed to Song Kyu-ha and I offered him the casting.”
Lee Ki-baek exclaimed in admiration after hearing the story behind the first meeting between Song Kyu-ha and director Kim Jeong-nam.
“Yeah, it feels like a fateful encounter. Was there any objection from the production company?”
“Of course, there were no objections from the producers. So, although it was informal, I also auditioned. I can’t reveal my real name, but an actor who has been recognized for a long time in the film industry also auditioned and did a pretty good job. And finally, Gyu-Ha Song auditioned for free acting, and the three judges unanimously voted for Gyu-Ha Song without any objections.”
gulp.
Lee Ki-baek swallowed his saliva without realizing it. Among the judges, there must have been Han Jeong-beom, the president of Tyrone Pictures, but he was famous for vehemently swearing during the audition.
At this time, director Kim Jong-nam added a word to the finish line.
“On the day the movie Jijon is released, audiences will be able to see the true image of King Sukjong, the iron-blooded monarch.”
