Kang Ha-neul, who transformed into an internet broadcaster through the movie ‘Streaming’, drew attention by saying, “Being a streamer is a more difficult job than being an actor.”

‘Streaming’, which will be released on the 21st, is a thriller that unfolds as Woo-sang (Kang Ha-neul), a streamer on a crime channel with the most subscribers, discovers clues to a serial murder case that had not been solved and broadcasts the process of tracking down the culprit in real time.

Kang Ha-neul, who has taken on the leading role, raised expectations by emphasizing the unique format of the work at the production report meeting held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 26th. This movie was completed with a one-take filming that brought out the vividness and development in ‘real time’ as if watching an actual live broadcast.

Kang Ha-neul said that because it was a one-take film, he had to digest a huge amount of lines every time he filmed, and said, “It was a huge amount of lines that is rare to see in a movie. In stage acting, there are also monologue scenes, so you get this much lines, but in movies, there aren‘t usually that many lines. The lines were two or three pages long from the first scene.“

He also said, “Being a streamer is harder than an actor. “I only streamed one sequence for this movie, but real streamers have to communicate with viewers with different stories every time. I think that’s harder. Actors are given a script and work hard within it, but streamers have to do it from scratch, so it seems really difficult.”
