Actor Ahn Hyo-seop shared his thoughts on his first film, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘.

‘ Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘, which opens on the 23rd, is a fantasy action film about a world in a novel that has been serialized for over 10 years becoming reality, and the only reader, Kim Dok-ja(Ahn Hyo-seop), trying to survive in the destroyed world along with the novel’s main character, Yoo Jung-hyuk(Lee Min-ho), and his colleagues.

Director Kim Byung-woo, who directed the film, said at a press conference held at the Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 15th that Ahn Hyo-seop, who plays the lead role of Kim Dok-ja, said, “As an actor and a fan, I was excited to see how the original web novel would be made into a live-action film.In fact, since it is a popular original work, I think it is inevitable that there will be pressure if the public has high expectations.”

While saying this, he said, “But I think that if the burden is too much, it will inevitably have a negative impact.What I can do is talk with my fellow actors and the director, and I think I filmed every day without feeling ashamed, doing my best.My hope is that both fans of the original work and those who aren’t can enjoy the work.”

In particular, he, who recently gained great popularity for dubbing the Netflix animation ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters ‘, made everyone laugh by mentioning a line from OST of’ K-Pop Demon Hunters ‘, saying, “I’ve been singing ‘Your My Soda Pop’ these days.”

He added, “Actually, I participated in ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters ‘because I thought it was an interesting project, but I didn’ t know it would do this well.I hope the interest in ‘Demon Hunters’ will also give strength to ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.’ I hope it will be a great help.”
