Ryu Jun-yeol “Noh Hong-chul, the person who influenced me the most among the people I met recently”[Interview]

Ryu Jun-yeol poses a weighty question about ‘blind faith’ through the Netflix original film ‘Revelation’. In an era of confusion where people believe that what they believe is the only truth, the topic he poses through ‘Revelation’ is all the more meaningful. In ‘Revelation’, he plays the role of Min-chan, a pioneering church pastor who believes he has received a revelation from God, and gives a truly ‘mad performance’. Ryu Jun-yeol, who threw his whole body into acting out the process of how the kind and timid man changes into a madman-like state as he goes berserk with his eyes glaring in order to directly punish criminals for the reason of God‘s revelation, said, “Aren’t there many cases where people accept everything as fact, not just religious things, but also fake news? I hope this will be an opportunity for us to think about what we believe in,” he said emphatically. O “I am a question mark killer!” He said that he always doubts his own acting and that acting in this film was a
