At a café in Samcheong-dong in Seoul’s Jongno District, Jung Ga-ram met with reporters to discuss the film Endgame Investigation. He arrived for the interview dressed casually in a hoodie and jeans.
Endgame Investigation follows Detective Jae-hyuk (Bae Sung-woo), who has been reassigned to a rural outpost, as he heads to Seoul with rookie detective Jung-ho (Jung Ga-ram) to track down the real killer in a murder case involving two suspects. The film wrapped in 2019, but its release was delayed after Bae Sung-woo’s drunk-driving controversy the following year; it’s finally opening roughly seven years later.
Playing a chaebol heir, Jung Ga-ram is shown behind the wheel of several luxury cars. “When I first appear, I’m in a Porsche,” he said. “I don’t own a car, then or now, so parking isn’t my strong suit. We shot the parking scene many times to get it right.”
He added, “The rental company warned me not to drive the Lamborghini much. It seemed to launch even with a light tap on the gas. They barely let me drive — I mostly just sat in the seat and felt it.”
