After collaborating with actor Park Bo Gum on "Wonderland," director Kim Tae-yong shared how wonderful the actor truly is.
On May 29, Kim Tae-yong joined SBS POWER FM's radio show "Cine Town," hosted by actress Park Ha Seon.
During the show, Kim Tae-yong spoke about working with Park Bo Gum, the lead of "Wonderland" alongside actress Suzy.
Kim Tae-yong first described him as "an actor with a huge heart who can embrace everyone, yet also a delicate soul."
He explained, "I mean, everyone adores Bo Gum! When I was working with him, he felt like someone who could give me a warm hug on a tough day, but also someone I wanted to give a hug. He interestingly has both qualities."
The director then mentioned Park Bo Gum's contribution to the film's soundtrack by writing the lyrics for the song "WISH: Wonderland Is Here."
Kim Tae-yong expressed his gratitude, saying, "Director Bang Jun-seok and initially made the song, but I wasn't satisfied with the lyrics. So, I asked Bo Gum if he could help, and he meticulously revised them. The result was wonderful, and he even came up with the title."
In "Wonderland," Park Bo Gum plays a dual role as both the AI version of Tae-joo, an astronaut, and Tae-joo in real life, who awakens from a coma.
Kim Tae-yong heightened anticipation for the film by saying, "You will be able to see Bo Gum struggling to adapt to life after returning, while the AI version of his character remains healthy and cheerful."
"Wonderland" tells the story of reuniting with loved ones through "Wonderland," a video call service that uses artificial intelligence to recreate deceased individuals.
The movie is set to hit theaters on June 5.
