'Tazza 4' Actor Noh Jae-won Expresses Overwhelming Emotions on Commercial Film Leading Role Debut

Actor Noh Jae-won shared his heartfelt and overwhelming thoughts on his upcoming debut as a lead in a commercial film.

Attending a press conference for the movie "Tazza: Beelzebub's Song" held at Yongsan CGV in Seoul on the morning of August 18, Noh said, "This is the very first time in my life starring in a commercial film. It is deeply meaningful, special, and feels just like a dream to me," expressing his overflowing emotions.

He added, "However, rather than just dwelling on that thought, I had the acting I wanted to do and the path I needed to take, so I focused solely on Park Tae-young while acting. I temporarily set that pressure aside and spent the filming period focusing purely on my performance. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the director once again for casting me."

In this new project, Noh takes on the role of Park Tae-young. He is set to showcase a chemical reaction of emotions oscillating between friendship and betrayal with Jang Tae-young, played by Byun Yo-han.

Byun Yo-han praised his fellow co-star Noh Jae-won, saying he has a "200% synchronization rate with the original work." Emphasizing the excellence of the original material, Noh noted, "When I read the original 'Tazza' series, it was such a brilliant story. After reading the cartoon, I couldn't snap out of it for nearly two months. It even took time for me to shake off the imagery from that comic book."

He revealed that his partner Byun Yo-han played a major role in helping him craft his own version of Park Tae-young. Expressing his gratitude, Noh said, "The crucial key when acting was senior actor Byun Yo-han. Actor Byun Yo-han was Jang Tae-young himself. He was like that on set as well. I felt both jealous and eager to resemble him, so I even copied his acting style. It served as a huge hint for playing Park Tae-young."

"Tazza: Beelzebub's Song" is a crime film that depicts Jang Tae-young (Byun Yo-han), who thought he had the world in the palm of his hand through an online casino business, and his close friend and namesake Park Tae-young (Noh Jae-won), who stripped him of everything, reuniting in a global gambling arena to wage a showdown of revenge. It is scheduled to hit theaters on September 23.
