SINGAPORE - South Korean actor Jang Hyuk, known for his roles in the romance series You Are My Destiny (2014) and period drama Chuno (2010) had to call on a new set of reflexes to play the title role in his new film, The Swordsman.
His character Tae-yul, a mysterious martial artist, is losing his vision. "How do you train for that?" says the 43-year-old actor, who spoke to the press from Singapore and Indonesia at a virtual conference on Monday (Oct 12).
