[서울=뉴스핌] Reporter Yang Jin-young = The movie ‘Sinkhole’ surpassed 1 million viewers in the shortest time among Korean films released this year, and is running towards 2 million. Cha Seung-won came out to appease the audience who were tired of Corona with a ‘funny’ comedy movie.
In an online video interview with ‘Sinkhole’, Cha Seung-won said how he felt about releasing this movie following Netflix’s ‘Night in Paradise’. He laughed, saying, “I liked ‘Sinkhole’ because it was a movie that combined disaster situations and comedy.”

“I liked that the house was lost in a sinkhole, and even though it was an urgent and urgent situation, strangely funny situations continued to be produced. I like ironic situations and conflicting images very much. It’s only natural to face situations in the past. In this movie, I really liked the way it satirizes the situations in which you try to survive whatever you do.”
The point that Cha Seung-won thought was interesting also worked in the theater. He also mentioned that he was “confident” about the box office success of this film. Along with the current ‘Mogadishu’, ‘Host’, which was released after ‘Sinkhole’. It looks like a three-way battle for Korean films is taking place in theaters.
“I thought that the audience would enjoy it because it was a scenario I enjoyed watching. I had a bit of that confidence. It slowed down a bit when ‘Host’ was released, but let’s look at the score once a week. Kim Seong-gyun and Lee Kwang-soo, who were together this time, are really good friends, so we can’t breathe. It was good. We all like people, so it was fun to work together. When acting, there are actors who say, ‘He doesn’t seem like him’ among the juniors. These friends were different.”

As soon as I realized my dream of owning a house, the whole villa went out into a sinkhole. In ‘Sinkhole’, there is a point that touches the real estate issue, which is currently a hot topic. In the past, it is often said that the real estate-related social problems such as the LH incident were intentionally taken into consideration.
“When I first received the scenario, it was when the problem with real estate was not particularly raised or serious. The dream of owning a house has always been there, but even then, it did not emerge as a serious social problem as it is now. Even though the term ‘young-chul’ is in vogue, I never had any concerns when deciding to appear. Of course, of course, I had that kind of sadness in the past. But I think it’s a lot harder now than then. I feel the problem is getting serious . I can feel the selfishness of people in their 20s these days, and I personally feel sorry for them.”
As everyone knows, Cha Seung-won is a familiar actor not only in movies but also in entertainment. He said, “I don’t want to look bad no matter what I do,” he said.

“I’ve been with Na Young-seok PD for a long time, so it’s comfortable for the first time. I heard that it was ‘fifteen nights on a business trip’, but I didn’t know what it was. It’s one of them. It’s great to meet you. Everyone knows your personality very well. That’s why I think I’ll continue to do variety shows.”
From ‘Night in Paradise’ to ‘Sinkhole’. It is not easy or uncommon to present two new films during the corona crisis. Cha Seung-won said, “Unfortunately, two films were released again at this time.
“Personally, I like noir. Rather than simple things, I enjoy a genre with conflicting images and conflicting images. It’s hard to pick just one, but I think I want to try more noir than comedy. I think it would be good to do a perfect drama once. He is a friend who has more abilities than we think. He is a friend who can do surprisingly well. Also, I want to meet Kim Seong-gyun as a very strong character. It feels completely different from ‘Sinkhole’ I’d like to try acting in a bloody movie.”
