Harper‘s Bazaar Korea caught everyone’s attention with a pictorial featuring Ryu Jun-yeol and Shin Hyun-bin, the two actors of the Netflix film ‘Revelation’ released on March 21.

This pictorial perfectly captures the mysterious and strangely tense atmosphere of the film.

When asked about his feelings on working on a film created through the collaboration of director Yeon Sang-ho and executive producer Alfonso Cuarón, Ryu Jun-yeol said, “I was very happy when I received the offer. Director Yeon is someone who creates stories with popular yet unique materials. I was amazed by his quick wit here and there as I filmed. The fact that director Alfonso Cuarón worked as an executive producer means that this story is not limited to Korean sentiments. I am looking forward to it because it will be a story that many people around the world can relate to with the universal subject of human existence and death.”

Shin Hyun-bin said, “Not only the production team, but personally, the script was especially interesting. It is a genre piece, but it tells an extremely realistic story. People, regardless of religion, live with at least one thing they firmly believe in. Something like a belief. It shows how people change when they start to doubt that it is completely wrong.”

When asked about his feelings about working with the two people of the same age for the first time in this work, Ryu Jun-yeol said, “Now, no matter where I go on set, there are many times when I feel like I am stuck somewhere between a junior and a senior. It was so comfortable to work with a friend at that time. We weren’t stuck together the whole time in the drama, so when we met, we were busy briefing each other on what was going on.” Shin Hyun-bin also recalled the filming, saying, “We quickly became friends because we were the same age, and we were comfortable together. When we talked, I could definitely tell that they had a childlike side. He is very playful. And he goes to bed at 9 PM, which is a surprisingly upright lifestyle,” he said, showing his playful side.

Lastly, when asked about the beliefs that each of them holds onto, starting with the faith that they have been talking about throughout ‘Revelation’, Ryu Jun-yeol answered, “I believe that everyone will understand someday. That makes me feel at ease. Even if that is not my intention, if people think that way, there is nothing I can do. That is the nature of faith.” Shin Hyun-bin answered, “So to speak, I believe in myself. That is why I think it is important to live my life my way. I trust the people I work with a lot. I think ‘Revelation’ was a more complete work because Jun-yeol and Min-jae worked together. The staff who did their best made up for my shortcomings. Those small beliefs are what allow me to continue this work.”
