Kim Min-seok, Lee Hyun-wook, and Lee Jung-hyun, the main cast of the TVING original drama ‘Shark: The Storm’, shared behind-the-scenes stories about the work.Through a pictorial interview with ‘Harper’s Bazaar Korea ‘released on the 21st, the three actors vividly explained the meaning of the’ Shark ‘series, which has returned after four years, and the passionate filming process.

‘ Shark: The Storm ‘is the sequel to the film’ Shark: The Beginning ‘.It depicts the process in which Cha Woo-sol(Kim Min-seok), who is incarcerated in a juvenile detention center, becomes stronger to survive in a world of violence, defeats Han Seong-yong(Lee Jung-hyun), one of the three leaders of the prison, and catches the eye of boss Hyun Woo-yong(Lee Hyun-wook).

● Kim Min-seok “I’m not just taking the hit anymore… I’ve become a defensive fist”

When asked about his feelings on returning after four years, Kim Min-seok said with a laugh, “I’m excited, but also worried,” and “I was surprised to see everyone so much younger than they are now after watching the trailer.” Regarding the changes in the character of Cha Woo-sol, he said, “He’s no longer someone who just takes hits, but someone who uses his fists to protect someone,” and “I put a lot of thought into naturally incorporating reckless action scenes while maintaining an innocent face.”

Lee Hyun-wook said that he was happy to be able to fully act out the villain character ‘Hyun Woo-yong’, who had appeared briefly in the previous work.”There is a webtoon version, but I didn’t read it all the way through.I put my habit of silently looking at the other person when they say something absurd into the character,” he said, sharing his own detailed acting style.

Lee Jung-hyun did a great job as the supporting character of Han Seong-yong.He said, “I was able to act much more comfortably because I was able to show the character that continued from ‘Shark: The Beginning,’” and explained, “Han Seong-yong in ‘The Storm’ is a character who has experienced the bitterness of life, so I acted in a dry tone.”

● “How did you film this scene?” … Sweat and tears in the actors ‘actions

The core of the drama’ Shark: The Storm ‘is definitely the action.Kim Min-seok said, “The one-on-one fight scene lasts for over ten minutes.I prepared by memorizing the action routine three times a week for five or six hours,” and “I hope that our hard work is felt well in the scenes that we filmed for several days and nights.I expect a response of’ This is crazy.’”

Lee Hyun-wook also expressed his pride, saying, “To exaggerate a little, it was so intense that it felt like the Taereung Athletes’ Village.It’s the longest 1-on-1 fight scene in a drama.I heard it was a whopping 20 minutes long before editing.”

At the end of the interview, they also talked about the values they want to keep in their lives.Kim Min-seok showed a firm attitude by saying, “I don’t have a goal.I just want to live every day without regrets and do my best,” and Lee Hyun-wook added, “I want to live while acting deliciously.I want to be someone who knows how to not compromise on things that go against my values.”
