[Interview] "Assassination" Lee Jung-jae, "My romance has dried up and I lost my co-workers..."

Lee Jung-jae talked about his endless roles of being the bad guy.

"Assassination" is the first movie this year to have made 10 million views and as for Lee Jung-jae, it's his second 10 million hit movie following "The Thieves". In "Assassination", Lee Jung-jae plays an independent movement soldier named Yeom Seok-jin in his 20s then a spy who betrays his country in his 30s. It must've been a concern playing a role like this near the 70th anniversary of independence in Korea but he said it was a challenge he wanted to try. It was torturing and made him lonely at the same time.
