'Final Interview' Kim Jae-won: "Prepared Twice as Hard for Detailed Acting in Screen Debut"

Actor Kim Jae-won shared his excitement and determination ahead of his upcoming screen debut.

Attending the press preview and press conference for the movie "Final Interview" held at CGV Yongsan in Seoul on the afternoon of October 28, Kim said, "This is my first film debut," adding, "Until now, I've greeted viewers through series or dramas. For a film, I thought I needed to deliver detailed acting on a full screen, so I prepared twice as hard. After discussing with the director, we built it scene by scene. Because I prepared so hard, I have an extraordinary affection for this work," expressing his deep attachment to the project.

Kim stated, "It was important to make all six characters look like the culprit," while also noting, "I thought the tension of the character Han Jin-woo, whom I play, needed to change between the early and later parts of the film. He is an affectionate, delicate, and good-natured person, but I focused on catching and expressing the tense and resolute moments when he enters the interview room, as well as the changes after leaving it. I focused on that because I believed it had to be convincing to the audience."

In this film, Kim plays Han Jin-woo, a passionate and good-natured character struggling to pass the final interview for a major corporate recruitment.

When asked if there was any character among the six main roles he would like to try besides his own, Kim chose Jeon Yo-han, played by Kwak Dong-yeon. Kim replied, "I think Jeon Yo-han is a character very opposite not only to Han Jin-woo, whom I play, but also to my actual personality. I'd like to express a different character from myself using my own face."

"Final Interview" is a film about six applicants gathered in a final interview room who fall into doubt and chaos after discovering mysterious envelopes containing each other's exposures. It is adapted from the Japanese novel "Six Liars" by Akinari Asakura, tailored to Korea's environment and emotions.

The movie is set to be released on November 4.
