Kang Ha-neul, who plays a broker orchestrating a drug ring in the film 'Yadang: The Snitch,' shared that he had to walk a fine line between being likable and unlikable.
At the press screening and conference for 'Yadang: The Snitch' held at Megabox COEX in Seoul on the afternoon of the 7th, Kang Ha-neul discussed his character, Lee Kang-soo. He said, "I was concerned that if I appeared too evil, the audience might find the character unlikable. But I also didn't want to justify his actions. I had many discussions with the director about maintaining that balance. I hope the audience will be curious about what this character will do next as they watch the film."
