Actor Ahn Jae-hong actively promoted the movie 'Highlight' during 'Baechulsoo's Music Camp.'
On the 4th, actor Ahn Jae-hong granted his appearance on MBC FM4U's 'Baechulsoo's Music Camp.' Baechulsoo stated, "I found that very entertaining. 'Dakgangjeong.' It’s a weird comedy, and I really enjoyed it. People say it’s childish, but the best comedy is childish," expressing his admiration for Ahn Jae-hong.
Baechulsoo remarked, "Ahn Jae-hong also fits well in romance in 'Melody Is a Personality.' Looking closely, romance suits him well. Didn’t he have a romance with the rich girl in 'Reply 1988'?" listing Ahn Jae-hong's previous works. Ahn Jae-hong responded, "You really watch a lot of dramas," expressing admiration. Baechulsoo continued praising Ahn Jae-hong, saying, "I have a lot of time but don’t watch much. However, if Ahn Jae-hong is on, I watch it."
Ahn Jae-hong responded, "When I go to other radio stations for publicity, each broadcast feels different, but Baeky Camp feels like a movie." Baechulsoo smiled happily, saying, "When a big actor says that, it raises the program's quality too."
Yesterday, after the film's release, Ahn Jae-hong, who attended the stage greeting, said, "It feels like it was yesterday. It was really a frenzy of excitement," adding, "A lot of family audiences came to see our work. It’s rated for ages 15 and older. They can watch it with parental consent."
So what is the movie 'Highlight' about? Ahn Jae-hong explained, "It’s the latest work from director Kang Hyung-cheol, where six people who received organ transplants become superhumans to solve incidents. Each superhuman receives one organ each from six different people." He added, "I received a lung transplant, and I boast incredible lung capacity that allows me to unleash strong winds. My character’s name is 'Park Ji-sung,'" also mentioning Shin Gu’s appearance.
Ahn Jae-hong revealed, "The other superhuman is senior Shin Gu. Teacher Shin Gu is an incredible villain," adding, "He received a pancreas transplant."
Baechulsoo laughed, saying, "Just looking at the movie's synopsis seems odd," and continued, "However, hearing things like this doesn’t make it seem poorly written. The actors are amazing, and isn’t the casting fee enormous?" Ahn Jae-hong answered with a shy smile.
Ahn Jae-hong mentioned that his appearance in this movie was entirely because of the director. He said, "I wanted to appear in 'Highlight' even before I saw the script. I wanted to participate unconditionally because it’s directed by Kang Hyung-cheol." Baechulsoo inquired, "So are the top three directors in the film industry Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, and Kang Hyung-cheol?" Ahn Jae-hong replied, "That’s right. I wanted to do it solely because it’s a director’s project," nodding.
Ahn Jae-hong also complimented Oh Jung-se, saying, "He’s really funny. In this work, he plays the father of actress Lee Jae-in. He doesn’t have superpowers, but he makes an amazing impact. He commands attention. Even without superpowers, he seems like he has them," raising expectations.
