Part 1 of ‘Alien + Human’, which will be released on July 20, is a story unfolding as the door of time opens between the sages who want to take over the new sword rumored to be in the late Goryeo Dynasty and those who chase after an alien prisoner imprisoned in a human body in 2022. It deals with an alien worldview in earnest.
Director Choi Dong-hoon returns with the new ‘Alien+’ after 7 years of ‘Assassination’. He greeted, “I lived my life to have to shoot one movie every three years, but this time it wasn’t. It’s a release after seven years, so I’m stunned. I think today is the day I’ve been waiting for for seven years.”

He continued, “It was difficult to write a screenplay. I wrote the ‘Alien+’ scenario for two and a half years. I’ve written it like this and that way. There are many other stories. Gradually, this story became a natural decision. “I always had the experience of shortening a 4-hour movie to 2 hours and 20 minutes, so I thought it would be a one-piece movie. I thought that the first and second parts would have a dramatic composition, so I decided to shoot both at the same time.” added.
Director Choi Dong-hoon, who became the director of Ssang-man in ‘The Thieves’ and ‘Assassination’. ‘Alien + Human’, directed by him, boasts a splendid casting lineup. Ryu Jun-yeol, Kim Woo-bin, Kim Tae-ri, So Ji-sub, Yeom Jeong-ah, Jo Woo-jin, Kim Ui-seong, etc.

Director Choi Dong-hoon said, “The actors in ‘Alien + Human’ are the people I’ve been waiting for. Ryu Jun-yeol, while writing the screenplay, plays a cold role, but somehow has a cheesy charm. I want to see him smiling and running around like that. D. Kim Tae-ri sometimes makes an expression that seems to stop time. In the past, I wondered how interesting it would be if that actor came out with a pistol.”
In addition, “Kim Woo-bin was preparing for filming six years ago, but Woo-bin was ill and had to postpone it. When he was writing the ‘Alien + Human’ scenario, Woo-bin was recovering for a while. He said he wanted to do even small things. In fact, the guard character ( Lee) wrote it down. As I wrote it, it became important.” “So, I thought, ‘It would be fun if Woobin did this. But can he do an action?’ Woobin also said, ‘I don’t think I’ll be able to do it very well.’ So I swore, ‘No action.’ When filming, he said, ‘Today is Wire.’ As I recovered, the intensity of the action increased. gave me a laugh

In the drama, Ryu Jun-yeol plays the role of Muruk. Muruk is a person who wants to acquire the divine sword. At the end of the Goryeo dynasty, he claimed to be a famous demon swordsman, but in reality he is an ulturist swordsman who clumsily imitates other people’s swordsmanship. Ryu Jun-yeol said, “It’s my first time in a historical drama. When I saw the ‘Alien + Human’ scenario, I first said, ‘What is it?’ It really was.”
Kim Woo-bin also said, “When I saw the ‘Alien + Human’ scenario, I thought, ‘Huh?’ Kim Tae-ri also agreed with Ryu Jun-yeol and Kim Woo-bin and added, “The second was fun. The most important point when choosing a movie is fun. That was the biggest.” Not only that, So Ji-sub said, “I couldn’t draw it in my head, so I thought, ‘Is it possible?'”

Ryu Jun-yeol drew attention with his witty answer to the comparison with ‘Jeon Woo-chi’ Kang Dong-won. Ryu Jun-yeol said, “Isn’t the biggest difference between Jeon Woo-chi and Muruk-i so different? Jeon Woo-chi is really handsome. I focused on that part and persisted.”
Ryu Jun-yeol worked with Kim Tae-ri for the second time in ‘Alien + Human’ following ‘Little Forest’. Ryu Jun-yeol said, “It was definitely as good as the second breath. I relied on it a lot. It was good from the start. So I said, ‘What do you want to do next?’.

To this, Kim Tae-ri said, “My brother relied on me, but I can assure you that I depended more on him. The first filming of the movie started with the two of us. I was nervous, scared, and nervous. It was fun and fun filming. I was nervous, but I think I was able to do it because of my brother.”
Kim Woo-bin took on the role of a guard. The guard manages the escort of an alien prisoner imprisoned in a human body. Earlier, director Choi Dong-hoon expressed his affection, saying, “I always wanted to do a movie with actor Kim Woo-bin.” Kim Woo-bin said, “‘Alien + Human’ is the first movie in 6 years.”

Kim Woo-bin said about the part he focused on while acting as a guard, “I exist on Earth to fulfill my mission. He continued, “I acted with the thought that I shouldn’t be excited. I created the character with the thought that there would be a guard somewhere in the world.”
Kim Tae-ri as Ian. Ian is a mysterious woman carrying a pistol 630 years ago in the late Goryeo Dynasty. She is known as the Thundering Wife, but she is a veiled figure that no one knows when, where, and what kind of life she has lived. Kim Tae-ri said, “I prepared a lot for martial arts. I went to action school and learned mechanical gymnastics. I also went shooting. I did it in the drama ‘Mr. Sunshine’, but I had time to get acquainted with guns again.”

Following Kim Woo-bin, So Ji-sub will return to the screen after 4 years. So Ji-sub said, “I was being chased, but I was filming without a shape. So I had to use my imagination to shoot. In the case of other scenarios, a picture is drawn in my head, but ‘alien + human’ is not drawn. So it was difficult.” He continued, “I filmed it while imagining it with a blue screen. It was comfortable because there was a video note, but it was lonely. When I was lonely, (Kim) Woobin came. Even though we were far away, we were mutually supportive and strong. I couldn’t finish it,” he said affectionately.
Lastly, Director Choi Dong-hoon said, “There was tinnitus, but the scene was fun. I can say that ‘Alien + Human’ is a film that we can do as far as we can. It is not empty words that we want to exchange imagination with the audience. I hope to see them and fall into the world of the same imagination.” Kim Woo-bin said, “I had fun filming on set. I hope that joy and happiness will be conveyed.”
