Actor Kang Ha-neul talked about the concerns he felt while acting as the lead role in the movie ‘Opposition’.

‘Opposition’, which will be released on April 23, is a crime action movie about a broker (Kang Ha-neul) who designs the drug trade in South Korea, a prosecutor (Yoo Hae-jin) who wants to climb higher, and a detective (Park Hae-joon) who is all determined to crack down on drug crimes, all of whom become entangled with each other with different goals.

At the press and distribution preview held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 7th, Kang Ha-neul, who plays the title role in the movie, said, “My character is ‘Opposition’ (drug broker), and the audience has to watch the movie while following my character, but I thought that if this character seemed too evil, it would be difficult to follow because they would not like him.”

He continued, “That doesn‘t mean I wanted to act this character as a good person. So it wasn’t easy to take the lead in that. And I acted while hoping that the audience would follow along while wondering what would happen to this friend in the future,“ he said, adding, ”I thought a lot about how much expression and breathing I should do to convey the ‘refreshing feeling’ that I wanted to convey to the audience in the latter half, and I talked a lot with the director.“
