Park Jin-young, who is now in his 30s, revealed his goals as an actor.

In an interview commemorating the release of the movie ‘High Five’, Park Jin-young opened by saying, “In my 30s, I want to become an actor who provides a sense of stability.”

He said, “I think it’s also necessary to give confidence through acting.Also, if you can make more daring choices, your own sense of accomplishment will increase.” He added, “If I spend my 30s with a challenging spirit to find something new even if it’s just one thing, I think I’ll be satisfied with my 30s when I’m in my 40s.”

I became curious about the word ‘challenge’ in the answer.Looking at the works he has appeared in, there are no characters with overlapping characteristics.Through the role of Young-chun in ‘High Five’, he added his first villain role and gained diversity.

Park Jin-young added specifically, “It means the spirit of challenge regarding whether or not I compromised when dealing with this character.”

“At some point, I get the hang of it, but I try not to rely on it.Even if the characters seem a little overlapping, I try to find something different in them and not get lost.There were times when I chose the easy way out, but when I look back, I regret not doing more.I want to constantly find something fresh.”

While saying that unlike the characters in dramas with a soft feel, she showed particularly strong characters in movies such as ‘A Christmas Carol ‘(2022)and’ High Five ‘, she said, “I think a lot about what I wanted at the time and what I want to do now.” She said, “I really wanted to appear in’ A Christmas Carol ‘at the time.The script was difficult and I thought it would be a great sense of accomplishment if I did it.’ High Five ‘is in the same vein.I’m grateful that I was given the opportunity to try something like this at a young age.”

Finally, he mentioned his next work, saying, “I can’t officially reveal it yet, but I think I’ll need to spend quite some time preparing for it.” He continued, “I’m happy that the drama(tvN’s ‘Unknown Seoul’) and the movie(‘High Five’) are being released at the same time.The responses from viewers and preview attendees have been good, so I hope this momentum can continue.I’ll enjoy it as much as I can and try to be humble when I move on to my next work.To be honest, there were some parts of my acting that I found lacking, like the speed at which I deliver my lines and my gaze.I want to understand these issues well, prepare for them, and fill them in for my next work,” raising expectations for the ‘new face’ that he will show in the future.

‘High Five’ is a comic action film that depicts the story of five people who accidentally gain different superpowers through organ transplants and meet those who covet their powers.Park Jin-young plays the main villain Young-choon, and plays two roles with actor Shin Goo.The film opens on May 30.
