“Firefighter” actor Ju Won: “I was worried if such a big fire would be okay… Much more real than CGI” [Interview ③]

Actor Joo Won revealed the behind-the-scenes of filming with real fire. On the morning of the 28th, an interview with Joo Won, who appeared in the movie ‘Firefighter’, was held at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul. On this day, Joo Won recalled, “I thought, ‘Am I really going to light this much fire?

I can’t go in’ and although I applied a cream to prevent burns, the site was hot and it was my first time seeing such a big fire in front of me, so I was worried whether it would be okay.” He added, “It actually helped me as Woong because I was afraid, and while experienced people could enter comfortably, Woong, as a new recruit, would have been extremely nervous.

I would rely on those around me and be more impacted by the variables on site,” he explained.

He continued, “I was grateful the director created such a natural setting that all I had to do was go in,” he added.

He also revealed it could be much more real than CG.

Joo Won said, “Of course, unless there is a really large amount of money invested, reality is better when conditions aren’t like that.

Nowadays, there are no works without CG, but I think it’s not as real as doing it in reality.

So, I agree with the director’s intention and think that the actor should do (express) it,” he said. The movie ‘Firefighter’ is about the situation of firefighters who were deployed during the 2001 Hongje-dong fire disaster, with the sole goal of extinguishing the fire and rescuing everyone in poor conditions.

It will be released on December 4. Reporter Lee Joo-in juin27@edaily.co.kr
