Ryu Seung Ryong gains 12kg for new film

​Train to Busan​​​​​​​ director Yeon Sang Ho and main cast Ryu Seung Ryong, Shim Eun Kyung, Park Jung Min and Kim Min Jae attended the press conference for their new film Psychokinesis in Seoul.

Seung Ryong plays a father who has superpowers in the film. "I decided to take on the role before I even read the script. I thought it was an interesting story when I heard the director talk about it, and it was fun to turn imaginary things into something real."

Talking about his 12kg weight gain for the role, Seung Ryong said, "I kept my own weight while shooting other films, but because I play an ordinary middle-aged man this time, I had to gain some weight. I indulged in eating and sleeping a lot - what a happy life!"

Eun Kyung, who plays Seung Ryong's daughter, said, "Seung Ryong is an unique comedian. He has so many different experiences and he can control every muscle on his face. He looks so funny during funny scenes and looks emotional during emotional scenes. It’s amazing!"
