Actor Ahn Jae Hong talked about his upcoming drama “LTNS”!
“LTNS” will tell the story of a married couple who has gotten so worn down by their exhausting lives that their sex life has become nonexistent. In order to earn money, they turn to blackmailing couples who are having extramarital affairs, and in the process, they wind up looking back on their own broken marriage.
Ahn Jae Hong will play the role of Samuel, who looks tender and kind on the outside but has latent anger on the inside. He graduated from a prestigious university and joined a large company without difficulty, but after struggling with mental illness at work, he decides to leave the company and becomes a taxi driver instead.
On why he chose to star in “LTNS,” Ahn Jae Hong shared, “I was strongly drawn to the story, which I’d never seen anywhere before. I thought it would be a compelling work that blended multiple genres well, and I was surprised by the scope of the story, from relatable everyday moments to cinematic scenes.”
He continued, “I was curious about the character Samuel. The idea of a character who seems familiar yet mysterious appealed to me. I was intrigued by how the character’s inner thoughts were gradually revealed, like peeling layers of an onion, rather than showing everything at once. Above all, I thought it would be great to work together with director Lim Dae Hyung, as well as director Jeon Go Woon and actress Esom, with whom I collaborated in a previous project.”
Regarding working with Esom, with whom he played a couple in a previous work, he stated, “Our chemistry was so great that there was no need for words. Having worked together in a previous project, we are well-acquainted with each other’s tendencies and acting styles. Thanks to Esom, I was able to fully concentrate on the story and the character.”
Ahn Jae Hong concluded by saying, “I think ‘LTNS’ is a colorful and entertaining drama that directors Lee Dae Hyung and Jeon Go Woon have prepared with all their hearts. I hope everyone enjoys it.”
“LTNS” will premiere on January 19 at 12 p.m. KST.
