Jun Ji-hyun, "Would choose a movie that my children can watch"

At the press conference held on the 7th for the upcoming film "A Man Who Was Superman", Jun Ji-hyun commented that she selects pieces that her children will be able to watch.

In regards to a question asking whether she would choose a smoking scene or love scene, "Actors also have to make decisions based on their thoughts, but I would choose a movie that my children can later watch".

Director Chung Yoon-chul who also attended the conference added jokingly, "Ji-hyeon would probably not choose a love scene unless it is directed by someone like Director Ang Lee (of Se, jie, 'Lust, Caution')".

Hwang Jung-min who plays the main male lead that believes himself to be Superman commented, "We had to film one scene that expressed many complicated emotions 34 times for over a three day period to get an 'OK' sign. Ji-hyeon was fine on the first cut, but I felt bad because we had to repeat the scene because of me".

He also added, "Trying to make myself believe that I am Superman was the hardest part of this movie. Acting is supposed to be from the heart and not calculated in the head, and that was only possible because I worked with Ji-hyeon".

Director Jeong added, "The actors most likely had a hard time because the spectrum of emotions required for the movie was equivalent to that of several movies. Ji-hyeon said before that she would like the superpower to act well, and I think she has gained that power to a certain extent".

Director Jeong, who also produced "Marathon", in "A Man Who Was Superman" draws the story of a rather cynical human documentary producer Song Soo Jung (Jun Ji-hyun) and the man (Hwang Jung-min) who helps everyone around him believing himself to be Superman.
