Park Seo Jun recently talked about his experience being part of the first musical sequence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
"I think they checked my vocal range before making the songs I had to sing, so I wouldn't have trouble singing. During filming those scenes, I tried to focus more on capturing the character's emotions than on singing well.", Park Seo Jun remarked.
Park Seo Jun's appearance in the movie is known to be short, lasting about two to three minutes in the film's total runtime of 105 minutes.
Nevertheless, the actor proudly spoke of his part in the movie.
"I think Aladna and 'Prince Yan' are the place and the figure that is important for showing the growth of 'Carol Danvers'. Some might think my part in the movie is too short, but I believe it plays a crucial part in the overall narrative of 'The Marvels'."
