[HanCinema's News] Jung Woo and Lee Hong-nae Appear in "Hot Blooded" Photoshoot for Singles

A new photoshoot was recently released of actors Jung Woo and Lee Hong-nae in relation to the upcoming film "Hot Blooded" which will make its theatrical premiere on March 23rd. The two also appear in an interview for the lifestyle magazine. Jung Woo mentions there how he had to read the script two times to get proper inspiration for his character, realizing that "Hot Blooded" differs from a typical noir in that it focuses on realism, rather than bombast, in its depiction of the lives of enforcers.

Despite this grim description, elsewhere Jung Woo describes the filming environment as fairly jovial, with everyone in a joking mood. Lee Hong-nae, who had to pass an audition for his role, echoed these sentiments by noting that he had to put the most energy he'd ever had in twenty years to getting the part. Lee Hong-nae said that his love was especially profound for his character Army, and that he shivered with excitement getting the chance to work to bring that character to screen.

The supporting role of Army is a big one for Lee Hong-nae, who's appeared in South Korean screen roles since 2011 but only recently started getting big breaks. The first one was "The King: Eternal Monarch" in 2020 where he played a royal guard. Then in "The Uncanny Counter" Lee Hong-nae played the show's ultimate villain, a demon. Lee Hong-nae was also the lead in the independent gay romance film "Made in Rooftop" though "Hot Blooded" will be a big mainstream role for the actor.
