[SBS Star] SHINee MINHO Talks About Shooting Action Scenes in His New Movie

K-pop boy group SHINee's member MINHO shared what it was like to film action scenes in his upcoming movie 'ILLANG : THE WOLF BRIGADE'.

On July 18, a showcase for 'ILLANG : THE WOLF BRIGADE' was held in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, in which the director and main cast attended.

'ILLANG : THE WOLF BRIGADE' is set in 2029 when South Korea and North Korea agree to establish a joint government.

The story focuses on political uprisings on opposing sides which grow fierce when a special police unit is formed to stop the chaos.

MINHO will be playing 'Kim Chul-jin', who is an ace member of a special police unit assigned to quell the terrorists. During the showcase, MINHO said, "I cut my hair short and participated in filming the movie with the attitude of a soldier."

He continued, "There were lots of action scenes for my character. I thought I was pretty athletic, but it turned out I wasn't. Some action scenes were really difficult for me to carry out. The director's skillful filming technique made them look as if I was great at doing those actions, though." He also spoke about the protective combat uniform that he wore during the shooting of the movie.

MINHO said, "When the weather was hot, I felt extremely hot in it, and when it was cold, I felt like I was going to freeze. But the protective combat uniform gave me strength. It made me feel stronger. I felt like I could win no matter who started a fight with me."

'ILLANG : THE WOLF BRIGADE' is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 25. (Lee Narin, Credit= SBS funE, Warner Bros. Korea)
