In the action film 'Gil Bok-soon,' which depicts the story of Gil Bok-soon (Jeon Do-yeon), a legendary hitman in the contract killing industry and a single mother of a teenage daughter, who gets caught up in an unavoidable confrontation to either kill or be killed just before renewing her contract with the company, Seol Kyung-gu plays Cha Min-gyu, the company CEO who dominates the contract killing industry and sets the rules.

Seol Kyung-gu described his role, saying, "Cha Min-gyu is a mentor, savior, and teacher who raised Gil Bok-soon." He added, "He is the person who breaks down the walls Bok-soon has built and is the most trustworthy figure." Furthermore, he said, "Outwardly, he is a leader with boldness and a cold-blooded demeanor, but to Bok-soon, he shows a generous yet narrow-minded side."

Cha Min-gyu is the mentor and boss who recognized 17-year-old Gil Bok-soon's talent and nurtured her into a legendary killer. Regarding their relationship, Seol Kyung-gu viewed it as "more than a master-disciple or superior-subordinate relationship." He explained, "Min-gyu treats Bok-soon differently. To others, he is an absolute authority, but he makes exceptions for Bok-soon. He wants to give her everything without reservation. It is a complex, delicate, and special relationship characterized by blind love toward Gil Bok-soon."

About the action scenes, he said, "I acted according to different concepts for each scene," and added, "Even after filming for 3 to 4 consecutive days, I felt a strange pleasure rather than exhaustion."
