(Naver V app)

Actor Gang Dong-won revealed the effort that went into starring in the upcoming thriller film “Golden Slumber” in an interview broadcast live via Naver’s V app Wednesday.

While talking about Gang’s role, the interviewer asked, “Gang Dong-won’s appearance is usually never ‘ordinary’… but in the poster you look very ordinary. What did you do to look like this?”

“To look ordinary, first I gained 5 kilograms. I tried to understand the character,” Gang replied.

“I guess netizens are looking up the meaning of ‘ordinary’ now,” the interviewer teased.

With a star-studded cast made up of Gang, Han Hyo-joo, Kim Eui-sung, Kim Sung-kyun, Kim Dae-myung and Yoon Kye-sang, “Golden Slumber” tells the story of a deliveryman who gets blamed for the assassination of a presidential candidate.

In the film, Gang plays the deliveryman Kim Gun-woo.

The film is scheduled to hit cinemas here on Feb. 14.
