"Nam Joo Hyuk turned the small screen upside down with "Twenty Five Twenty One" in the 1st half of the year, and this time he stepped up in front of fans to receive the big screen." Kim Sung Soo, a pop culture critic, said, "Nam Joo Hyuk is a really well-grown actor. The theme of REMEMBER is very heavy, so it’s not easy to be praised even if you do your best. Nam Joo Hyuk is now touching the hearts of viewers with his acting skills rather than his visuals, to the point where you forget the label of model turned actor. At first, he was an actor who focused on his assets, but now he’s almost at the top in the drama & film industries at some point. I think we should appreciate such growth because it is impossible in this world unless his acting skills are supported."
Nam Joo Hyuk: "Because it's a life action, it consumes a lot of stamina, every time I shot an action scene, it was difficult, but it was also fun."
Director Lee II Hyung: “Nam Joo Hyuk enriched the expression of the character In Gyu beyond imagination. The most surprising thing was Joo Hyuk's flexibility in responding immediately to the direction. He was an actor who acted more fun than expected."
Regarding Nam Joo Hyuk, who was another pillar of the movie, LSM said, "He was such a bright kid. He was not very wary and always had no disagreement no matter what I said," he praised first. "When I saw the scene of talking in the parking lot in front of the police station, I thought that Nam Joo Hyuk acted very well and had a hard time. The movie follows the movement of "Pilju," but it was the "Ingyu" character played by NJH that made the audience immersed in "Pilju." I think "Pilju" is dragging the audience by the collar, but if "Ingyu" was not convincing, it would not have been possible to sympathize with the elderly being swept along the way. He explained how important Nam Joo Hyuk's role was, saying, "It must have been really hard to act, but he did so well." LSM then said, "I think it's great for such a tall and handsome kid to play ordinary. Ingyu was a person who had all the complexities of his 20s. Nam Joo Hyuk is strangely good at portraying ordinary. I think he will be able to achieve good results through this movie," he said.
"REMEMBER", is pre-sold in 115 counties including North America, France, Russia, India, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Singapore even before it's release. Additionally, it was announced that "REMEMBER" is officially invited to the “Spotlight On Korea” section of the Hawaii International Film Festival. The film will be screened twice, including the International premiere on November 5th.
“Director Lee Il-hyung casted Nam Joo hyuk after watching ‘The Light In Your Eyes’”
When asked about Nam Joo Hyuk's casting, PD searched for a young male actor in his 20s, but he watched a drama called ‘The Light in Your Eyes’. “I was so happy to see Joo hyuk's acting,” he said. “He has a power to make certain situations look real. Nam Joo Hyuk's handsomeness is also there, but I thought it would be possible to make it feel realistic and think that they would go through that if they were caught up in their 20s, so I gave the script, and I cast him.”
Lee Sung Min said “I felt that Nam Joo Hyuk is a very flexible actor. Rather than preparing to act, I felt that he was an actor who knew how to create harmony (on the spot). His reaction changes depending on how I play the role. Of course I tried to do it too.”
Nam Joo Hyuk said, “I had to concentrate to drive a sports car. I took out all the seats while making a posture somehow, and eventually I found the best posture after riding it a few times.” In response, Lee Sung Min said, “Because Joo hyuk was tall, his body was almost 'chubby' inside the car,” adding, “I was dying in the car next to him which was also a lot of pressure. But we finished filming safely,” he said with a smile.
Nam Joo Hyuk said, “In the middle of filming, there is a scene where I acted out all the lines in a dialect without realizing it. The scene was so comfortable that I poured out the dialect. The PD said, “Why do you speak with Nam Joo Hyuk instead of In-gyu?” It was a scene where you can tell that it was a very comfortable atmosphere to act.
Nam Joo Hyuk said, “My makeup took 2 minutes, but Lee Sung Min's makeup took a very long time. He always tried to tell interesting stories next to me, so I never walked away from the makeup car. The atmosphere on set was very good, and he opened up a lot first and gave me so many things. There were times when I fell asleep on the set so he took my picture and made me feel comfortable.”
“A young man caught up in revenge… Revealing the character from REMEMBER”
In-gyu, played by Nam Joo Hyuk, is an ordinary young man in his 20s who works at a restaurant with Pil-ju (Lee Sung Min), who unintentionally participates in Pil-ju's revenge. He is suspected of the crime due to CCTV footage taken at the scene by accident after accepting Pil-ju's proposal to pay him enough for part-time work if he helps drive him around for just a week. Pil-ju, whom he has a friendship beyond the age gap (aka Freddie and Jason), is nowhere to be seen, and every situation where he drives got more confusing. Nam Joo Hyuk shows various emotional changes in three dimensions through In-gyu. On top of that, after being deeply involved in his revenge, he constantly asks questions and conciliates Pil-ju, replacing viewers' curiosity, tension, and empathy, and increasing the immersion of the play.
Nam Joo Hyuk said, “I was attracted by the fact that it was a character I had never done before. The process of expressing various changes in emotions in a situation where I was caught up was interesting.” he said. Director Lee Il-hyung also raised expectations for Nam Joo Hyuk's character of In-gyu, saying, “He expressed a rich character of typical young people in their 20s, and made a good friendship and best chemistry between Pil-ju and In-gyu beyond generations.”
“Broken car… Blood on my hands… A pistol... Why am I here?”
Han Pil-ju (Lee Sung Min), a brain tumor & Alzheimer's patient in his 80s. During the Japanese colonial era, he lost his family to the Pro-Japanese groups. When his wife died, Pil-ju tries to take revenge, which he had planned for more than 60 years.
He asked In-gyu (Nam Joo Hyuk), a part-timer in his 20s who became his best friend at a restaurant he was working at, to help him drive around for a week. “Was he always like this? What is it? Is he the one who washed the dishes with me?”
In-gyu, who followed Pil-ju without knowing the reason, was exposed to CCTV at the first multiple sites and was pointed out as a prime suspect.
The police narrow down the investigation network and while fighting the fading memories, Pil-ju continues to take revenge...
Sixty years of planning, a dangerous company for revenge begins!
Nam Joo Hyuk Explains How His Emotions Are Linked To Scents And Expresses Desire To Play New Roles
Nam Joo Hyuk has teamed up with Singles magazine for their 18th anniversary!
The model-turned-actor professionally immersed in the atmosphere and awed the staff with his ability to lead the photo shoot.
During the interview, Nam Joo Hyuk, who posed with Post Essay Fragrance, shared his love for scents. He commented, “I usually stir up my mood through scents. Depending on my emotions of that day, I spray cologne or use a diffuser to subtly fill the space with fragrance. There seems to be nothing more effective than scents when you want to refresh yourself.” He added that he uses scents when he wants to relax before filming or suddenly change the mood. Nam Joo Hyuk mentioned his acting career by remarking, “I want to show a different side of me with a character that I’ve never played before.”
