On the afternoon of the 24th, a press conference for the movie ‘Breakthrough’ was held in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.Actors Lee Hye-young, Kim Sung-chul, Yeon Woo-jin, Cynthia, and director Min Kyu-dong attended the press conference that day.

On this day, Lee Hye-young was asked what she thought about the word ‘waste’ when she described the old ‘sculpture’ in the line from ‘Breakthrough’.

Lee Hye-young said about the expressions used to describe the character in the movie, “When I dealt with the character of Jo-gak, I thought it was her ability.I wondered what the source of that power, the power that others call a legend, was.Old and waste are just words, and I have never thought about such things.Jo-gak is an unprecedented figure who broke such stereotypes.I thought I was showing Jo-gak as a human being, and I don’t think I thought of her as an old woman.”

Meanwhile, ‘Breakthrough’ is an action drama depicting an intense confrontation between Jo-gak(played by Lee Hye-young), a legendary killer who has been active for 40 years in an organization that deals with cockroach-like humans, and Tou(played by Kim Sung-chul), a mysterious killer who has chased her all her life.It will be released on the 30th.
