[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Actor Ahn Jung-hoon revealed the reason he decided to appear in 'Hoichung Family.'

On the 22nd, the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Research Institute' ('Gaseyeon'), hosted by lawyer Kang Yong-seok and others, uploaded a video titled "Lead Actor of 'Hoichung Family' Revealed."

In the released video, Ahn Jung-hoon appeared and greeted, "Hello. I am Ahn Jung-hoon, a 42-year veteran actor who also diligently subscribes to 'Gaseyeon.'"

That day, Ahn Jung-hoon said, "I saw a Facebook post recruiting actors for 'Hoichung Family' and immediately contacted them. I thought I would appear in a minor role, but they gave me a very significant role," adding, "It’s not like a short film but a film with artistic value."

Former reporter Kim Se-ui emphasized about 'Hoichung Family,' "It is not a politically charged film. It is a black comedy. It is not a political film at all."

In response, Ahn Jung-hoon said, "Actually, since I was young, my father advised me not to get involved in politics or religion. But I think I might have been too much of a coward," adding, "If there is a part I can take responsibility for, I want to donate my core acting skills as a talent contribution. I don’t care about appearance fees, and if I get a good role, I want to contribute."

Ahn Jung-hoon debuted in 1978 with the KBS drama 'Like a Flower, Like a Bird.' He then gained recognition by appearing in works such as 'March of Youth' and 'Jumong.'
