[Lee Isul, Entertainment Reporter]

Actor Bae Sung-woo spoke about the value he considers most important in life.

On the morning of the 5th, Bae Sung-woo shared various stories about the film Beasts Clawing at Straws (directed by Kim Yong-hoon) during an interview held at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

That day, Bae Sung-woo said, "The value I consider most important in life is happiness."

Bae Sung-woo said, "Recently, at a preview screening, I noticed people laughing at my lines. I was truly happy," adding, "Every time I watch the film at a preview, my heart pounds. But hearing the laughter was really wonderful."

He continued, "I haven't lived chasing money, but honestly, I work hoping the film succeeds so I can have more opportunities to meet new projects."

He also said, "In the end, I believe balance is the most important. You can't ignore whether a work is good or not. If the artistic value drops, the chances to make money will decrease accordingly."

Beasts Clawing at Straws is a crime drama about ordinary people planning the worst heist to seize a money bag, their last chance in life. It won the Jury Prize at the 49th International Film Festival Rotterdam and was officially invited to the feature competition section of the 34th Fribourg International Film Festival in Switzerland. It was scheduled to be released on the 12th but the release has been temporarily postponed due to the impact of the novel coronavirus.
