It came easily because during pre-production we had a lot of time to rehearse.
How was it acting with other individuals who come from diverse backgrounds? During production, people were stressed, but everyone came together and made a very good film. The budget was tight, and it showed on the set. It was such a unique summer, and I feel like the film’s story symbolically reflected what we all went through during that summer. Just growing together-because we were all kind of in this unique situation-it was all very exciting. How did you interact with your fellow castmates? Yoo, center, with fellow cast and crew on set. I feel like Klaus gets in touch with that experience through his interactions with Kris. They kind of understand-intelligently understand-the struggles their parents went through, but they don’t get it wholeheartedly. A lot of gyopos take their situation for granted. The other was realizing what it means for gyopos and their relationships with their parents. To boil it down, one was the ongoing relationship with a girl he’s attracted to, because he has a girlfriend back home. What were some of Klaus’ themes that stood out to you? I was really excited that there was a good piece of writing for Asians. I was looking for allowances for those kinds of cues.
So, when the audience goes through the story, I want them to see the differences, even if it’s subtle, such as the physicality in the way Klaus would behave and carry himself. I’m always looking for a good narrative, not just for the plot but also for my character. I think the writing was really good in general. I was like, “Oh, that’s a good character.” Teo Yoo: I thought he was a good archetype. KoreAm: What did you think of the character when you first read about Klaus? Yoo spoke to KoreAm about playing Klaus, who is based on Lee’s actual Korean German roommate from the 1986 summer camp. This interview has been edited for length, grammar and clarity. “I trusted direction, he trusted my character rendition. “It was very comfortable,” Yoo said of the experience. Yoo finally landed the role after he met Lee in person to deliver a live audition, and through rehearsals and filming, Yoo found his identity again as an actor and person. , he finally got to play a role where he plays himself, which he completely shined in.” “He’s been struggling in Korea because he has to play Korean roles, and it’s been hard for him,” Lee said. But Yoo knew that Lee wasn’t just going to hand the role to him. Director Benson Lee found his audition tape to be less than satisfactory, despite that the character Yoo was auditioning for, Klaus Kim, was also a Korean German. The struggles and insecurity also affected his acting, and that led to a disappointing audition process for Seoul Searching. “It required me to get rid of a lot of etiquette that I learned and adopt new ones, so there was a time when I struggled with my identity.” “Just being sociable in Korea is just very tough for me,” the Cologne native told KoreAm back in January. In 2009, Yoo moved to South Korea to pursue work, but it was a struggle to adapt to Korean society. He studied acting in New York and the United Kingdom and performed in theater productions back home in Germany, while traveling to and from NYC. KIM | German Teo Yoo is a classically trained actor.
