Actor Jo In-sung recently opened up about his unexpected friendship with Hyun Bin, revealing that they were part of the youngest line-up in a private actor gathering led by the late veteran actor Ahn Sung-ki.
On the afternoon of the 10th, an interview was held with Jo In-sung, the lead actor of the Netflix film ‘Possible Love’, at a cafe in Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Directed by veteran filmmaker Lee Chang-dong, the movie explores the intersecting lives and hidden desires of two couples through a documentary project. The film follows Lee Chang-dong’s remarkable return following international acclaim, while Jo In-sung stars alongside Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, and Cho Yeo-jeong.
Jo In-sung has been on a relentless ‘hard-working’ streak, releasing three major projectsβ’Humint’, ‘Hope’, and ‘Possible Love’βsince February of this year, alongside filming for Disney+’s ‘Moving’ Season 2. This busy schedule has earned him the affectionate nickname of ‘master director collector.’
Recently, Jo In-sung won the Best Actor award at the 46th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards for his role in ‘Hope’. During the event, his friendly interaction and warm embrace with OTT series Best Actor winner Hyun Bin drew considerable attention from fans wondering how the two stars, who had never shared a screen before, became close.
Explaining their bond, Jo In-sung shared, ‘It was just casual conversation with Bin. He is a younger brother I truly adore and support as an actor. There is no reason not to be close with him. Even though we haven’t worked on a project together, we used to have a private gathering when the late senior actor Ahn Sung-ki was still with us. We were the youngest members. I was the youngest, and Bin joined later. The late Ahn Sung-ki served as the president of that gathering.’
Jo In-sung also shared behind-the-scenes stories from the Netflix 10th-anniversary event, where he playfully gave Koo Kyo-hwan a piggyback ride, delighting fans and media alike.
