After being out of the limelight for a couple of years, Kim Soo Hyun returns with the premiere of his new film, “Real”. The said movie has been slated to release later this month. The young actor has revealed the challenges in portraying his role.

Kim Soo Hyun landed the lead role as Jang Tae Yeong in the new Korean film, “Real”. Kim Soo Hyun is joined by veteran actors Sung Dong Il and Lee Sung Min in portraying the principal characters of the movie. “Real” is an action thriller film about a troubleshooter named Jang Tae Yeong who deals with the various requests and problems from the underworld. His world takes a different turn when he runs into a former detective reporter named No Yeom, who is portrayed by actor Lee Gyung Young.

In the said interview, Kim Soo Hyun revealed that he had to focus on the audio as well as his expressions that are seen through his eyes.
