Kwon Sang Woo's Expectations

Kwon Sang Woo wants to become an actor whose movies have box office revenue of over 3 million viewers.

On January 22, “Hitman 2” - the sequel to the 2020 hit action-comedy, which attracted more than 2.4 million viewers, will hit theaters in Korea.

Part 2 of the film continues the story of Jun (Kwon Sang Woo) - a former spy - who is now framed by the NIS as the culprit, after a terrorist attack similar to a similar case in his webtoon (online comic).

Sharing with Korea Times, Kwon Sang Woo hopes to turn the action-comedy into a long-running series and continue to be an action star for a long time, like his idol Jackie Chan.

“If given the chance, I hope “Hitman 2” will surpass the break-even point, receive a lot of love and become an increasingly developed series.

The first film was heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic shortly after its release. However, there was still a lot of positive feedback from people who watched the film on other platforms afterwards.

That's why I have some regrets. I think if the timing was better, we could have achieved higher box office revenue. I also want to erase the disappointment I had from the first part to the sequel."

The Korean actor said that despite the decreasing number of moviegoers, he is still determined to appear in commercial films, even if they are not "blockbuster" films.

“My dream is to become an actor whose films have box office receipts of over 3 million. Of course, I don’t think that number is small. Especially in times like this when the film industry is struggling. However, I hope this time the film can achieve good results.”

Talking about his future plans, Kwon Sang Woo hopes to appear in many comedy-action projects. The 48-year-old actor revealed that he still performs all the action scenes without a stunt double.

“I want to give the audience as much experience as possible. I think that is the best way to show my gratitude to those who pay to see the film. Rolling around and sweating on set is my own satisfaction in giving my all to the audience.”

Besides, Kwon Sang Woo also expressed his admiration for comedy films and excellent actors in this genre.

“I have done many different genres, but basically the genre I like and enjoy doing on set is comedy. This genre requires a lot of preparation not only in terms of acting but also in aspects that are not in the script. That is why I respect actors who are good at comedy even more.”
