We can tell how he's so well-suited to the screens. There are places where he could work on more but he's so alive in "Gangnam Blues". His manly features and fit body is perfect for a 'noir' film. His flying kick brings awe to the audience. We could see just how long his 112 centimeter legs were. Although, he seems uncomfortable sitting at the low table from constantly switching positions.
"I think it's the dream of every actor to attempt a noir film. I really wanted to do it without worrying about using my body for action. Many people worried about me when I first got the offer, but I was pulled into the character. I didn't simply choose this character to relieve myself of the old one. I was depressed in my early 20s because I didn't have work; I was poor and had no confidence. I reflected those emotions to Jong-dae. The director told me he chose me for this role because he remembered my cold eyes from the movie "Public Enemy Returns". He teased me that it was gone and I worked hard to bring it back".
