I had no reason to hesitate about the suggestion.”

I watch a lot of Korean movies like people all over the world. Director Im Kwontaek’s Seopyeonje and Lee Changdong’s Burning were particularly impressive.
The world is enjoying Korean movies, music, and culture. It is a great honor for me to release the movie made with Korean actors in Korea.”

Even before its release in Korea, it has been in the upper rank of the reservation rate, raising expectations.
