[Interview] Jo In-sung on ‘Hope’: Taking a bold leap for a cinematic thrill only humans can deliver, Part 2

※This interview with 〈Hope〉 actor Jo In-sung continues from Part 1. Imagining and acting opposite an imagined being must have been a major challenge. In particular, when Seong-gi confronts a gigantic alien intelligence late in the film, his subtle eye movements and tiny facial shifts were striking.
