South Korean actor Song Joong Ki, who is busy gearing up for the upcoming release of his film Hopeless, opened up about his character in the neo-noir thriller. The ‘Descendants Of The Sun’ actor spoke about his desire to experiment with a dark character that is quite different from his usual characters.
Song Joong-Ki will be playing the character of Chi Geon, a middle boss of a local gang, in Hopeless. Talking about his intense transformation for his character at a press conference, Song Joong-Ki said, “I wanted to continue to work with such dark and bleak emotions. I had the opportunity, and there was a time I couldn’t do it contrary to my will. It was a pity. I wanted to do a dark movie, and in the midst of feeling disappointed about missing an opportunity, I read this script.”
He added, “I was sure the emotions I felt at the time were right, and the script was attractive me to me.” Song Joong-Ki also shared that he wants his 3-month-old son to watch ‘Hopeless’. Song Joong-Ki said, “I have a baby I love, but I wasn’t worried about doing a dark movie. I hope that he sees that his father did a movie like this when he grows up later on.”
