[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Actors Hwang Jung-min and Lee Jung-jae, who delivered outstanding performances in the movie Deliver Us from Evil, showcased their excellent wit.

On the 29th, the two appeared on MBC FM4U's Noon Hope Song and shared their thoughts on reuniting in this film. They previously worked together in the 2013 movie New World.

Lee Jung-jae introduced their relationship in the film, saying, "After New World, I met Hwang Jung-min again. In that work, we were brothers, but now we have to kill each other."

When asked if they knew about each other's casting, he replied, "I already knew that Jung-min hyung was cast. So I thought I absolutely had to do it."

Hwang Jung-min added, "Since we had fun working together in the previous film, it’s fate that we meet again. So I was happy when we reunited. I think the audience has higher expectations."

When a listener asked, "Has anything changed since New World?" Hwang Jung-min answered, "It’s been many years, but it doesn’t feel that long."

He continued, "It feels like we just filmed it yesterday. It’s amazing. When I come to the set, I forget that seven years have passed."

Lee Jung-jae also added, "I also thought it was only a couple of years ago, so I was surprised that seven years have passed."

Meanwhile, the movie Deliver Us from Evil depicts the chase and struggle between In-nam (played by Hwang Jung-min), who gets caught up in a new incident due to his final assassination mission, and Ray (played by Lee Jung-jae), a ruthless pursuer. The film is set to be released next month.
