This duo is hilarious just watching them during the Press conference..... Actors Han Seok-Kyu and Ko Soo are close friends in real life.
The press conference of film <The Royal Tailor> was held at Megabox in Jung District, Seoul on November 26. Han Seok-kyu, Ko Soo, Park Shin-hye, Yoo Yeon-seok and director Lee Won-seok participated.
<The Royal Tailor> depicts competition of tailors who made attire worn by royalty in Joseon Dynasty. Han Seok-kyu appears as ‘Jo Dol-suk’ who is master artisan in charge of royal attire, and Ko soo plays ‘Lee Gong-jin’ who is a genius designer with an outstanding fashion sense.
Han Seok-kyu :“I really liked scenario. Message in this film was what I wanted to say. I think subject and plot was well mingled in this film.”
Ko Soo (or Go Soo): his first historical movie... “I liked scenario, too. When I first met director, he said hello to me and he looked like a black man. That raised expectation more for this film.”
Director Lee Won-seok: “I always wanted to work with actor Han Seok-kyu. I am also huge fan of Ko soo. When we drank together, I fell in love with Ko soo’s bright smile, too.” awww
Han Seok-kyu and Ko soo learned how to make clothing for a month since they appear as designers.
Han Seok-kyu: “It takes 2 months to make a royal robe of king. I honestly didn’t like sewing. It is delicate and repetitive work. I tried to make my own vest but, I gave up in the middle, too. Sewing also reminded me of my mother.”
Ko soo: “I had more sewing scenes than Han Seok-kyu had. I liked it, though. I made my clothing myself, too.”
Director Lee Won-seok: “These 4 characters in film are bold and challenge themselves to keep their positions. Audiences will empathize with emotion of these 4 characters.” Park Shin Hye, Yoo Yeon Seok, Han Seok-Kyu and Ko Soo.
Han Seok-kyu: “I wanted to make people learn about history and people who lived in that era through this film. I hope this film is helpful for them to understand history.”
Ko soo: “People in Joseon Dynasty was very eager for beauty. You can see what kind of clothing people in Joseon liked through this film.”
