Joo Won is all ready to return with the new Netflix action film Carter, directed by Jung Byung-gil, and recently opened up about his character.
During a press conference held at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul on Tuesday, August 2, Joo said, "Carter is a new kind of action film. I hope that through this film, we can spread Korean action films to the world.”
Joo Won plays a Korean American CIA operative named Carter, who wakes up one day without any memories. Even his identity escapes him. As a mystery virus spreads from the Demilitarized Zone, the only thing he has to rely on is an anonymous voice, which assigns him a number of missions.
The actor claimed that he had put on 7kg weight, shaved his head, and acquired temporary tattoos to fit his role.
“I changed my appearance a lot. So, after the shooting was over, it was especially hard for me to get out of the character,” Won said.
Carter will be released on Netflix this Friday, August 5.
