‘Match’ Lee Byung-hun talked about his first time working with actor Yoo Ah-in.

On the afternoon of the 19th, a press conference for the movie ‘Match’ was held at CGV Yongsan I-PARK MALL in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Byung-hun, Ko Chang-seok, Hyun Bong-sik, Moon Jung-hee, Jo Woo-jin, and director Kim Hyung-joo attended the press conference that day.

On that day, Lee Byung-hun said about working with Yoo Ah-in, “When I first did ‘Match’ and heard about the next casting, my expectations grew and I felt excited. I thought it would be fun to film. Also, since this is my first time working with Yoo Ah-in, I was curious about that part as well.”

He continued, “(Yoo Ah-in) was a more reserved junior than I thought. We didn‘t talk much or have many company dinners together. We really didn’t have much time to get to know each other. He immersed himself in the role on site and showed a serious appearance during rehearsals. That‘s why I remember it was easy to get into that scene,” he recalled, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Match’ is a story about Korea’s greatest baduk legend Cho Hun-hyun (played by Lee Byung-hun) who, after losing to his student, challenges for the top once again with his innate competitive spirit. It will be released on the 26th.
