Lee Jong Suk shared his thoughts on playing the role of the villain in the new action film 'Decibel' which will be premiering on November 16.
In the movie, Lee Jong Suk takes on the role of a navy captain who causes a bomb attack in the middle of a city. The movie is expected to present a thrilling tension between Kim Rae Won, a former deputy commander of the Navy who is trying to prevent the terrorist attack. In particular, Lee Jong Suk appears at the beginning of the film with just his voice confronting and threatening Kim Rae Won.
At the press conference for the film held at the CGV theater at the Yongsan I-Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on November 7, Lee Jong Suk shared his thoughts on playing the villain in the film.
The actor explained, "I tried to act by holding back any emotion until I made an appearance in the film. I have a distinct characteristic when I talk so I discussed with the director a lot so that I change my way of talking so that people can't easily figure out my identity."
Lee Jong Suk also explained about playing different roles in dramas and films. In tv dramas, Lee Jong Suk usually plays characters who are upright and romantic but in films, he is seen playing a lot of villain characters, constantly transforming his image.
In the film 'V.I.P.,' Lee Jong Suk took on the role of a villain for the first time since his debut. He was praised for playing the role of a psychopathic murderer. Then in June, Lee Jong Suk appeared in the film 'The Witch Part 2: The Other One' and took on the characteristic of a psychic who chases a girl who escaped the laboratory.
While playing the terrorist in 'Decibel,' Lee Jong Suk explained, "the character has an underlying sadness. I didn't think he is simply a villain but I tried to think of him as a character that has various emotions that are concentrated."
I like that Lee Jong Suk chooses different types of characters in doramas and films.
