Portrait of Choi Woo Shik in 'A KILLER PARADOX', Transforming from Lovely Choi Ung to Serial Killer Lee Tang Sang

For those who don't know, A KILLER PARADOX is adapted from a webtoon, and Choi Woo Shik admits to enjoying reading it. Therefore, the actor has the ambition to portray the character Lee Tang as best as possible. 

In addition to wanting to portray Lee Tang well, another reason Choi Woo Shik joined A KILLER PARADOX is because it is a great opportunity for him to act alongside great actors and director Lee Chang Hee.

Choi Woo Shik then talked about the character Lee Tang. According to him, initially, Lee Tang kills accidentally, but over time, his character changes. Lee Tang then seeks out evil people and experiences emotional and cognitive changes. That is what he focuses on in his acting.

Director Lee said that he has been paying attention to Choi Woo Shik since the actor acted in the film SET ME FREE in 2014. Can the audience relate to a character like Lee Tang who unintentionally commits murder? Based on Choi Woo Shik's acting and his 'humanity,' he chose the actor to portray Lee Tang.

According to the director, Lee Tang is a passive killer. In dramas, passive killers are usually not interesting. But Lee Tang has an unexpected charm that emerges from his passiveness. Lee Tang is also a character that raises many questions.

Choi Woo Shik was asked by the media about his transformation as Choi Ung in OUR BELOVED SUMMER, which was cute and lovely, and then becoming Lee Tang, a killer. Choi Woo said that he didn't try to be different, he just wants to always act according to the character in each work.

For the character of Lee Tang, he had many discussions with the director. He also added what was needed to convince as a 'storytelling' figure. He wants to make his character seem truly existent.

Choi Woo Shik also feels that he wouldn't be able to do this without the director and scriptwriters. Truly dedicated!
