The upcoming Korean thriller Interview has confirmed Cho Yeo Jung and Jung Sung Il as leads. The movie centers around a tense exchange between a veteran journalist and a dangerous serial killer.
Production is moving fast. Pre-production wrapped on July 12, 2023, and filming was scheduled to start on July 17, 2023.
Cho Yeo Jung takes on the role of Seon Ju, an experienced reporter desperate to land an exclusive scoop. She crosses paths with Young Hoon, played by Jung Sung Il, a serial killer who’s managed to stay completely under the radar despite murdering eleven people.
Jo Yeo Jeong shared her thoughts on the film, saying, “The script for ‘Interview’ seems to have a lot of potential. The story-line is interesting. And it seems that the characters are complex and interesting. I’m also excited to see how Jo Yeo Jeong and Jung Sung Il will bring these characters to life.”
She also said the movie had an intense script and that she felt challenged by it. “She said the story is intense and is based on an interview between a reporter and a serial killer. She also said that she would do her best to convey the tension and enjoyment of the movie she felt while reading the script through the film.”
Interview tells the story of Seon Ju, who believes that revealing Young Hoon’s secret crimes will be her career-defining moment. But Young Hoon is clever, calculating, and not someone who gives anything away easily.
The psychological battle between these two characters is expected to be a major draw. The setup of a reporter chasing the truth and a killer hiding his motives gives the film an edge, and fans are curious how it’ll play out on screen.
