Response to the Bed Scene in Real
In one of Kim Soo-hyun’s interviews with Korean media, he shared his opinion about the bed scene in his latest movie Real. He said that because nudity was involved in the scene, Sulli and he were worried a lot. He shared his thoughts at the moments when he and Sulli started filming saying that they were both busy holding their stomach. Because they felt really tense, they got a nervous stomach and the voice they let out would sound like a mosquito’s causing them to make many bloopers. Kim Soo-hyun also admitted the fact that having to shoot an explicit scene in Real made him feel burdensome. Notwithstanding this unpleasant feeling, he is determined to give it his best in playing the role of his character in Real, Jang Tae-young, and can’t imagine anyone but him taking on the role of this particular character.
