Ryo Narita expressed a playful jealousy towards his actor friend Kento Sakaguchi. Today (18th) afternoon, an interview was held at Megabox COEX in Seoul with Kwon Eunbi from IZ*ONE, Ryo Narita, and Ryohei Otani, who star in the movie "Just Dropped My Smartphone - Final Chapter - Final Hacking Game." This film depicts the final confrontation between genius hacker and murderer Urano, who plans a large-scale cyber-terrorism, and detective Kagaya, who tries to stop him. It is a disaster horror masterpiece directed by Hideo Nakata, a master of Japanese horror, and is an official entry for the 28th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN). Ryo Narita, who played a genius black hacker serial killer in the previous film and won the New Actor Award at the 42nd Japan Academy Awards, reunites with stars who shone in the series, including Yudai Chiba, who plays his rival detective Kagaya, as well as Arata Iura, Kei Tanaka, Mai Shiraishi, and Taizo Harada. In particular, Kwon Eunbi, known as the "Summer Queen" for her multifaceted activities as a solo singer, variety show star, DJ, and musical performer, makes her acting debut as the mysterious agent Sumin. Recently, with an increase in overseas actors appearing in Korean works, Kento Sakaguchi has showcased a poignant romance drama with actress Lee Se-young through Coupang Play's "What Comes After Love." Taiwanese actor Greg Han has appeared as the assassin Mr. Smile in Disney+ and U+ Mobile TV's "NO WAY OUT: The Roulette." In response, Ryo Narita said, "When I came to Korea, I saw Kento Sakaguchi's posters everywhere and thought, 'I don't like this' (laughs). I feel a bit jealous." He added, "The previous comment was a joke, and since we both come from the same model team magazine in Japan, we are very close. I was very happy to hear he would be appearing in a Korean work. When I discovered that, I took a lot of pictures." He also mentioned, "As Japanese actors are increasingly working in Korea and Korean actors in Japan, I sometimes work in Korea for commercials. The filming cultures of both countries are really different, so I want to do my best in the works." "Just Dropped My Smartphone - Final Chapter - Final Hacking Game" will be released in Japan on November 1 and is scheduled to be released in Korea in the first half of next year.
