Although he just arrived all the way from Singapore, Gang Dong Won managed to grace the Q&A session with such professionalism as the actor spoke fully in English throughout the press conference, breaking the language barrier and leaving such a good impression to the local media and fans.
The “Golden Slumber” star was known for acting in numerous prominent roles, he said that he takes lots of preparation by using the same process, he will try to put himself in the characters’ shoes - later he will design and develop his emotions to portray the character. He also expressed his thoughts about accepting a role in an upcoming Hollywood movie called “Tsunami LA” (directed by Simon West). It was in fact, his first ever breakthrough to be in a foreign movie. He was offered for the role and immediately accepted it as he finds the script interesting.
“It’s a bit of challenge because I will be speaking English most of the time, but I’m going to practice really hard,” said Gang Dang Won. The actor also revealed he will start filming in two months time, and the filming will be largely done in Europe – including England and Bulgaria.
During the private fans session, only 100 of his fans were lucky enough to attend the private gathering to have a personal Q&A session with Gang Dong Won. He happily interacted and even handed out special edition autographed The Golden Slumber photocards to each fan who asked him a question.
Although it was just a short meeting with the fans, he still ended the session with a group photo!
