[APPLAUSE] Yes, the event is scheduled to last about an hour today. Now, it's time to take questions from the audience. Those who ask questions will receive a special gift, something you need when boarding a plane. So please ask many questions later. Well, since time is short today, let's proceed right away. First, actor Ha Jung-ho next to me, please say a few words of greeting.

Hello, I'm Ha Jung-ho. Thank you for having me here, and I hope we have a great time today. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Kim Sung-hwan, who directed the hijacking. [APPLAUSE] Nice to meet you. Thank you to everyone who has come. It's my first time in this kind of setting, so I'm not sure how fun it will be, but I'll do my best.

Hello, I'm Kim Sung-soo, who worked together during Asura with Director Kim Sung-hwan who directed the hijacking. Yes, nice to meet you. [APPLAUSE]

First of all, today is the first session of the relay talk, and Director Kim Sung-soo appeared. Actually, when I meet people who participated in the movie Asura, I feel a bit intimidated. I wonder how they made such a difficult movie. In fact, Director Kim Sung was the assistant director for Asura, not only that, he has been active in numerous movies. Could you please tell us about your connection and what kind of person Director Sung was? Director Kim Sung-hwan was the most famous assistant director in Korea around 2014 or 2015, so it was very challenging to invite him. That's why I'm interviewing him, to see if we are on the same page.

I had an interview, and during that interview, I talked about how well I worked with Director Kim Sung-hwan. Working together with him, even though it was in the assistant director role, I felt that he was a truly remarkable director compared to me, even though he was younger. So, I worked with him as a director with great respect. Therefore, although the movie Asura was not well received by the public and didn't have good reviews, the biggest contribution to making the movie Asura was made by Director Kim Sung. [Applause] Thank you. If you think that 90% of what the director just said is a lie, and 10% is some truth, you can call me the co-director. When I worked as an assistant director, I didn't really understand the meaning, but while filming, I was able to feel the meaning of what the director said, and that's how much I

As a director, I hoped that this director would have a certain feeling towards his work as a director. I remember the day when I first started. I was filming additional scenes for a certain work on a bridge. I was filming on the bridge when a call came from an unknown number, saying, Hello, this is Kim Sung Soo. I was really surprised and confused. I was so flustered at that time. The director said he wanted to meet me once and do an interview. So, when I met him for the first time, I felt so honored and had a great respect for the director. I think people who work in the film industry may all have a sense of respect for directors. Perhaps, I also felt that way, and it was a great honor to work with the director and his work. It was a time of deep reflection where I could look back on all the times and everything I had done in the world of movies.

When I ask a question and start, the title is Hijacking. In fact, the title Hijacking can be considered a genre name. Actually, I really like this hijacking now. Somehow, I remember being quite shocked when I found out that this was based on a true story. Even among those who are here today without specific information, many must have been surprised, thinking, Did that really happen at that time? I would like to hear a little about why the director paid attention to this true story before we start. Yes, the first time I heard this story was from the writer Kim Kyung-chan, with whom I worked. Kim Kyung-chan, who wrote the screenplay for the 1987 movie, happened to meet and share various stories, and he told me this story. A bomb exploded on an airplane and it crash-landed on a beach.

I did that, but the passengers all survived. That's what they said in a very short way, but when I heard the story, it didn't make sense to me. How could a story that seems more like a movie than a movie actually happen in reality? I was curious about that, so I asked the writer why he didn't write about it quickly. People might think this is exaggerated like in a movie, but if we approach the truth, maybe we can show those situations properly. I told them this, and then the director said, Who should do it? He said that the person who is good at it is right in front of us, but we are looking for someone far away. That's how the story began. [MUSIC] If I may say, aren't you so cool in this movie? Yes, I really think that character is so cool, but anyway, the reason I told you this story is because I really like Ha Jung.

When I think about the movies where I liked Ha Jung-woo's appearances, like the one where he was trapped in a tunnel or in a broadcasting studio like The Terror Live, many films come to mind. Even in this recent work, as the story unfolds inside an isolated airplane, I felt that the essence of the Ha Jung-woo I liked was well captured. Moreover, the character itself had a profound resonance, which made me curious about why this project was chosen. Firstly, the script was very interesting. In terms of production standards, it seems consistent as always. The script was engaging, the story was intriguing, and I always consider whether this story can resonate with the audience.

When I first received the artwork, it was a bit rough. It was quite rough reading the scenario for the first time. It was almost like receiving a rough draft level of scenario, but within that roughness, I felt that the essence of the story was very clear. So, as I reached the end and closed the final pages, I was hit by a very unexpected heaviness. That emotion was quite surprising. I remember reading the scenario while waiting on the set of The Suspect. It was very hectic and chaotic on the set, but reading this book in the waiting room and feeling those emotions, I thought that there was clearly tremendous power in it. Of course, I first met Director Kim Seo-hwan in the film 1987, and then we worked together on Ashfall.

I was working, and oh, the human charm was so captivating. I, too, was deeply drawn into it. We are of the same age, and then, my real name is Kim Sung-hoon, and we share the same last name, so we call each other by our first names, Sung-soo, right? Journalist Joo Sung-chul always saw us as friends. Those two things were probably the human charm of Director Kim Sang-han and his truly veteran presence on set. In my heart, I had thoughts like, why doesn't he debut as a director soon? That kind of aura, similar to a director, was always present on set. So, those two things were probably the biggest influences in choosing this project. Actually, there are so many stories about the character you played, Ta-in. Today, with Director Kim Sung-soo as our guest, I am trying to make some connections.

I've thought about it a bit, and I realized that the drama Seoul's Spring is quite similar to Hijacking of Highways in that it unfolds almost in real-time. The immersion is incredible. Also, there's a character in Seoul's Spring, General Jeong Seong-bae, played by Lee Tae-sun, who I find very similar to Taehyung. He's facing a tremendous dilemma of having to make a decision in a life-threatening situation and needing to save as many people as possible. I think of him as a character in a critical situation. Lee Tae-sun's portrayal in Seoul's Spring is so cool and sophisticated. When I talk about this, Director Kim Sung-soo also mentioned that this character is quite something. So, I actually wanted to mention this to Director Kim Sung-soo.

I would like to ask, I have watched the edited version of this movie once, and a few days before the press distribution, a week ago, I watched it once, and now, after starting a little earlier today, I came in again to watch it for a moment, but unfortunately missed the most crucial part just before the vertical flight at the end. I had watched it until then. Oh, in my opinion, as a movie enthusiast, this is truly the best. Initially, a week ago, I watched the movie with my wife, and even then, as I watched the movie, when the character moved the control stick forward like this, I naturally did the same. Even today, I ended up doing the same, so my wife asked, Why are you moving your body like this alone, not even in the cockpit? That's because I involuntarily get so immersed in the character that I end up making the same movements.

I wonder if the immersion of the viewers was so deep that they followed the movements of the character exactly like me. That day, today, and even a while ago, it was the same. So, why did I get so immersed in that character? Well, comparing the role in my current project with that character, I am very grateful. In the movie, Ha Jung-ho played the character Tae-in, connecting these two characters. But, when I was young, I heard about this story, and recently, director Kim Sang-hwan made this movie. So, I searched for this incident and felt... how could they make such a decision? Yes, as I watched the movie again today, at the beginning, when they arrived at Sokcho Airport and the passengers were about to board the plane, there was a scene where Seong Dong-il and the character related to Hwajeong Company, Tae-in, the co-pilot, were talking on the rooftop of the building.

There was a scene where Mr. Song Dong-il's ears seemed to be deaf, and at that time, although there was an issue as a soldier, he said that the passenger was a worthy human being as a pilot, mentioning that you have an instinct to save people. However, even if a person has such great thoughts and attitude, how could they act like that in such a moment? When I think about that, my heart feels heavy for no reason. Oh, there are actually people like that, and oh, I briefly mentioned that in an interview last year. Life consists of numerous choices and decisions, but there are moments in life where crucial decisions need to be made, right? I don't think there are many of those, but I feel that there are people who make decisions that others cannot make at really important moments.

I think that such people should hold important positions in our society and that they should take control of the important airplane of our lives. Because I believe that only those who have lived their lives with a consistent attitude can make excellent decisions at crucial moments. Therefore, I think that decision is the moment when the person answers for every moment of their life. So, because that person has restrained such an attitude of life, when such a sudden moment arises, I think that person can move from A to B smoothly. In an era where there are not many people making such sophisticated, bold, and altruistic decisions, even though it happened in 1971, in the movie, the character who existed in real life and in the movie is Mr. In, played by Ha Jung-woo.

When I think that there was actual action, I feel like I'm getting too spaced out. I got too immersed in that character by myself, but anyway, it was very well received. Sir, you are the best. I think I can say the same thing to those two who were just here. If I were to pick one of the most impressive lines from this movie, as you mentioned earlier, there was a line in the first draft where it says disobeying orders as a soldier. While listening to that, I heard a line about a modest humanity. I think that message runs through the entire movie. As people increasingly consider themselves unimportant and those who care about it keep disappearing, the director holding onto that line about modest humanity, I could visualize that.

At the point, in fact, this character in the original real event was controlled by three people, and now, by combining two of those three, they created a character called In. So, I'm curious about the motivation or reasons for creating the character In like that. Also, I would like to hear a little about the actor who played In, Ha Jong-ki. Yes, Director Kim Sung-soo told the story very well. Actually, I don't really like using the word uwung, but because the person put effort into it, I was able to meet the survivors again and I think that's why. So, in fact, while working on the script, the biggest question that came to mind first was how Tae-in, as a character, could make such a decision. I think I asked myself that question the most. So, there are also various articles.

I looked up some papers on hero tales about the so-called righteous or heroes, and there were common stories that came out. The common stories that came out were about being there at that moment and feeling like I should do something at that moment. I think you can feel that at that moment, but I think it's not something that can be achieved in ordinary times. So, I reached a conclusion that perhaps even Ta-in couldn't act like that, so I wanted to highlight those aspects a bit better. And also, while making this movie, I hoped that the audience would remember. Yes, that's right. So, I wondered how convincing Ha Sung-ho, the actor who played the mission directly, was up to a certain extent.

If you're curious, well, yes, yes. It's really not an easy choice, as Director Kim Sung-soo mentioned earlier. Only those who have lived with such an attitude and mindset in their daily lives might not have reacted that way in such an immediate situation. When it comes to describing this character cinematically, there were also parts in the beginning that introduced the character, Tayra, in a way that made him closer to such a person, which made me think, although I cannot relate myself to that, that if it was someone who had actually experienced this, they might not have acted like that with such a sense of duty, mission, and responsibility. I thought that maybe with that kind of mindset and professional spirit, they wouldn't have handled the situation like that. I felt that way, and well, Tay managed to block the bomb and sit down to land, which may seem quite brief.

You might feel it, but the actor is shooting that scene over several episodes now. When I talked with the director, we discussed that when it reaches this point, it's actually about losing consciousness and dying. We talked a lot about that. Even now, we talk about making a safe landing and crossing a rainbow bridge at some point, but faced such a result. Oh, faced such a heartbreaking result. It was a bit challenging to act there. Personally, as the episodes repeated, it was not easy to act. It's not like shooting everything in a day; we shoot indoors on a set and then go to the actual sea in front of the castle, bring the airplane, and shoot the final scene. Maintaining that tension for such a long time was really difficult for me. So, at that moment, what I could do was...

I focused a lot on connecting the scenes I shot and the actors, continuously checking what kind of breathing, tension, nuances, and feelings were present. It was a scene where I put a lot of effort into concentrating on creating a continuous flow. In fact, rather than being an actor, Ha Jung-woo was a director. It was a debut roller coaster ride for him, which was different from his usual emotional films. The film was not a hijacking movie, but rather about incidents on an airplane. Through this work, he received recognition as a rookie director at the Osaka Asian Film Festival. Anyway, I don't know why I'm bringing this up, but Rollercoaster, which was his debut film, is one of my favorite movies. It's a real rollercoaster ride in Korean cinema. I've watched it several times.

Thank you so much for mentioning it several times. I actually filmed this work. There is a huge difference between the budget and technology of that time and now, as well as the experience level. However, one thing is that it is very difficult to actually shoot inside an airplane. It's difficult to set up the camera, set up the lighting, there's no space for simultaneous recording, and the actors don't have the conditions to breathe. So, how can we overcome these numerous handicaps in one space? As an actor, how can I overcome this in terms of acting? When I met the director in the early stages and talked about the scenario, how can I work together with the director on camera setup? How can we have that kind of courage?

I'm tearing off one side of the airplane set and now shooting from the outside. I roughly tore off that side of the set. But now, I asked the director a lot of questions at the beginning because I was curious about whether it was possible and how to set up the lighting. Anyway, Director Ha Jung-ho chose the airplane for me first, and then I asked some questions about that because he had already experienced it, so he talked to me about avoiding mistakes and pitfalls. But since I'm doing this for the first time, I think beginners always make the same mistakes, so I won't be too arrogant. I won't tear off the airplane wing without looking at it closely.

The seating size of two rows looks like the size of an airplane, so if you look from the front to the end, you can see the passengers on the side, and there is a middle aisle, giving that kind of feeling. However, within that space, there were over 50 passengers and staff members bustling around for about 20 minutes. I felt sorry while filming and I apologize. Yes, there was nowhere to go, it was too hot, and I didn't know what to say. Also, there was an entrance and exit at the front and back. But if we install lights at the back, we can't use one of the entrances/exits. Then, about 70 to 80 staff and actors had to use only one entrance/exit, going up and down the stairs. I realized it was a huge mistake after seeing the footage.

In fact, I wanted viewers to feel a bit of discomfort along with the realistic feeling when I made that choice. I wanted them to feel the stuffiness inside the plane. However, I regretted a lot while filming. Now, I would like to ask Yeo Jin-goo about the character he played. When I see this character, I think of the character from Clint Eastwood's Sully movie, where he miraculously saved people on the Hudson River in New York. It was a character who came to mind, like Sully, who saved people by landing on the Hudson River to save people's lives. And in the case of Yong-dae, in fact, among hijacking movies, one of the best works is Air Force One, right? In Air Force One, Gary Oldman's villain performance became a model for many high movies that were made later.

You showed an impressive performance. I think that this time, actress Ye Jin-gu almost presented a lead role with such great acting skills. On one hand, I think that the most distinctive and unique point of this movie called Hiking is that it mainly focuses on a villain who hijacks an airplane, typically portrayed as a terrorist. However, in this case, the character played by Jin-gu depicts a somewhat sympathetic character and is being portrayed with compassion. In the actual work, there are flashbacks showing the character's past. When looking at these attempts, if we compare them with the actual historical event, the scene of the YS 11 aircraft, which was hijacked before, is shown in the opening of the movie. However, in reality, the two incidents that occurred earlier were acts of espionage between South and North Korea.

Surprisingly, it's not just a 20-year-old civilian who made this improvised explosive device and carried out this action. This is actually the most impressive point in the movie for me, so I wanted to portray the character in that way. I was curious about the intention behind it and if there was any risk involved. It's a question with a lot of risk involved. In fact, when I first started talking about this story, I didn't think much about the character Yongdae. I delved into why he did what he did and only later did I really start to explore Yongdae as a character. In the movie, he entered middle school as the top student, then his brother defected to North Korea and became an officer in the North Korean army. These are all deductions based on the information reported in the news. Later, his father passed away, and so on.

I went to the prison based on the content that was in the news, and now I did that. However, except for that, almost everything about that person was veiled. For example, he gave 5,000 won to a friend to set off a bomb, which was equivalent to about 50,000 won at that time, almost 500,000 won now. With that money, he learned. There were facts of that level, and based on those facts, I imagined a lot about what might have been in the empty space around that person. While reading some Korean war history books, and since he is from Gangwon Province, specifically from Goseong, the friend who was originally called Dae, a model named Won, was from Gangwon Province. Reading the regional history related to that area, I found out that the area is called Subok District. I actually didn't know that well, but our country is now the 38th parallel.

It was North Korean land originally. It was North Korean land, but through the war, it became South Korea, then back to North Korea, and eventually, it became South Korea again, our land. The year the baby was born in that region was 1950, the year of the Korean War. In that year, friends, if you think about it, would have been North Korean residents, along with their families. However, my older brother also went to the military, and I was most curious about what kind of life the residents of the recovered area lived. There are some papers and books about the lives of the recovered area residents, and the contents spoken by the character Yongdae in them just express what the residents experienced in a more cinematic way. Perhaps the character himself may have experienced similar things. With that thought, Yongdae was created. Now, from Ha Jong-ho's perspective, the interactions between the character Taeein and the passengers.

I am curious about whether the attitude towards acting and farming is somewhat similar or different. Initially, before detonating the bomb, of course, I approached them in the same way, yes, I did. But after detonating the bomb, I needed to stabilize this friend, right? Yes, because I didn't know how he would behave unpredictably, I... I had a similar experience with Gyu-sik, where I had an eye injury, so there were many missions. If we talk about entering the world of characters in movies, gods are placed in the movie in such a way that dialogues and situations are set up. When I take a step back and act, there were so many missions and things I had to do, so I tried to remain as calm as possible without being flustered by those missions.

I should act step by step. However, if the character In here alone becomes confused or gets too excited alone, it seems unreasonable from there. Anyway, because we have to fly this plane and survive, rather than being like Ok-soon, I think I should calmly respond to the given missions. My first acting plan is to handle the missions well. Certainly, now, such acting might have been a bit challenging. The reason I think so is that, compared to other hijacking movies, there are many cases where the plane is big. Therefore, sometimes something is hidden, and terrorists or villains are often in different spaces. In such cases, it's hard to find a place like this. In fact, in this work, there is just one corridor, so you have to keep talking or doing something continuously.

Given the situation, I think from the actors' perspective, it would have been quite difficult to act. First of all, I thought about how the director and the character Yongdae would reveal Yongdae's identity, then take control of the plane alone, and kidnap and head to North Korea. Would this really make sense? Could they not be easily subdued from behind? These thoughts crossed my mind. So, during the actual rehearsal on set with actor Yoo Jin-gu, the director, and other actors, a friend was really acting during the rehearsal. As the young child turned around and delivered their lines, I thought, Can I just stay silent without making any noises? It was a very challenging situation. Also, the character Dae seems to be a bit lacking in logic.

What's scarier than logic is the unpredictability of someone's actions. I used to think of myself as a character full of unpredictable behaviors. That's why I felt like I could fully immerse myself in it, thinking that I had the energy to do so. Director Kim Sung-soo, I want to talk about the character Yongdae, including scenes where new characters or scenes that make you admire them are included. Well, first of all, the scene that made me admire it was when in the middle, the agent lied that he had defected to North Korea and was caught again while trying to land at the temporary airstrip. Even in that scene, I bent my body forward and then straightened up, which I liked. The scene where he shoots up vertically is a highlight emotionally and reaches a climax in the story. And then all the techniques in the movie...

With such spectacular scenes that reach their peak in the spectacle itself, and various stories unfolding inside a limited airplane, the spectacle is so exquisite. And Yoo Jin-goo, who played the role of Yongdae, was the most surprised. Oh, I thought of him as young and somewhat naive, but he has such strength. These actors have such power. Actors like Ha Jung-woo, and Hwang Jung-min, who are fundamentally passionate and energetic, just by watching them on screen, we can feel their energy. But to see that side in Yoo Jin-goo is quite a new discovery for me. His energetic acting until the end is just so vibrant.

There is a pushing energy, and I was surprised by that. Probably, before I came here earlier, I asked a question. Mr. Ha Jung-woo, you are known in movies as a very strong and huge man, so to act with Ha Jung-ho senior, did you have to build up your body, voice, makeup, and face all to take on a role like this? I think rather than the clash of these two powerful characters, the scene that I enjoyed watching the movie more and was touched by is actually the humble humanity mentioned by our teacher, Joo Jung-cheol, which I think is the core of the movie. So, earlier I mentioned hijacking as a genre, but it's not a typical airplane terror genre movie, and that's why I liked it. But probably, I think this is what actually happened.

At that time, rather than abruptly changing the genre of the story, it seems like the filmmakers were very attentive to the fact that the movie was based on real events. When I talk about humanism, I felt that in this movie, the many passengers who appear at first seemed like just ordinary people who could have been there at the time, captured by the protagonists flying and portrayed as some kind of good man or woman. At first, I thought of them that way, but as I watched the movie, the more I watched, the more I felt that the characters were becoming calmer in more crisis situations. So, I felt that these people were somehow growing as they experienced the disaster as a community of fate. That's why I felt this kind of feeling.

In the movie, the protagonist keeps pondering from the beginning to the end. In the very first scene of the movie, he questions whether the downed plane was his mistake, leading him to question if his judgment was correct or if he was wrong, what decision he should have made, whether that decision was right or wrong. I think of it as a series of faces constantly contemplating these thoughts. However, a year later at the airport, when a similar situation occurs on the plane, the protagonist continues to ponder, wondering what decision he should make at the moment. But in the end, the decision made by the protagonist seemed very fair to me, like making a selfless and collective choice as a representative of fate and community. On the other hand, Yoon-dae, who is on the opposite side, now has the face of a humanist, showing his personal anger and...

To fulfill personal desires, one moves towards it, but on the opposite side, there is a stranger who now has concerns about himself and of course, worries about his wife. Well, he must have those worries, but while pondering how to take responsibility for the whole situation, when he finally made that decision, it felt like all the passengers knew about the stranger's decision, as if the passengers also gained enlightenment through some great turmoil. So, it felt like they saw it that way. Therefore, this movie, not only as a genre film but also as something more, not just using characters in a consumable way, but as a confrontation between a person who takes responsibility for the fate community of those people and then races towards their own desires. It felt like that, so I thought this is a truly excellent, human-centered, and sophisticated film.

It was very impressive to hear that it seemed like the passengers were also growing together. Would you like to add anything to what Director Kim Sung-soo just said? Your comments were so positive that I'm not sure how to respond. Yes, that's right. No, I didn't cry. Yes, there was a moment of crisis earlier, as the director mentioned. I hoped that like Tae-in gaining confidence in his decision at some point and moving forward, the passengers would follow suit a bit. I actually wanted to show a slightly more composed appearance rather than being overwhelmed with fear, crying, or things like that. I hoped that atmosphere would be conveyed to the viewers as well.

I had a shoot, so it was a moment where I felt I couldn't hide in front of my teacher once again. It's been quite a while. Now, I will take questions from the audience. If you raise your hand, I will pass the microphone to you. Here, in the third row from the front, yes, you. I enjoyed the movie. I would like to ask questions to the three people in front of me. Ha Jung-woo, you usually survive in extreme situations, but in this movie, when you died, how did it feel to act that out? I'm curious. Also, Director Woo, when you watched the movie, how was the feeling of sitting in the audience different from watching it at VIP previews or other times? And to Director Kim Sung-soo, when I watched Asura in Seoul, I really enjoyed it. Yes, in Director Woo's work.

Can we see it? Oh, because I couldn't see him die the day before yesterday. But where... if we talk about the truth of this, about that acting, back then in Gosung, we filmed the scene of dying, the last scene of taking the last breath. Actually, we have a lot of not-so-graceful conversations. Yes, we can hesitate. Actually, what I want to say is, is this neck angle okay? Is this angle okay? Does it look okay to die? It looks like he's dead. Makeup team, can you please check the reflection in the mirror? Is the facial expression okay? These are the kind of discussions we have. Yes, it might break the illusion. Actually, that moment is after death, it's a pose, it's a form, so what actors can do may be limited. And the important part there is how the director captures it from what angle, and in the latter part, what kind of music the director uses to make it visible, the continuity that the director has arranged.

I thought about which angle has a high probability inside and decided to focus on that cut. It's a bit embarrassing to express the scene so vividly, making me feel a bit shy. I sat down for a moment and realized that the screen shows a lot of details, so I became more curious about how the audience perceives it. Since I was sitting too close to the front, I couldn't see many samples of the audience, but I was grateful to see them enjoying it so much. Actually, having conversations with the audience today is the most nerve-wracking part for me. Among all the processes so far, from preparing for shooting to finishing, this moment is where my voice trembles the most. Yes, this seems to be the most nerve-wracking moment for me. Oh, Ha Jung-ho, you are now a top star.

Now, those powerful and famous actors have the power to choose the director, not the other way around. So, even though Ha Jung-woo works in various genres, I tend to lean towards more masculine films. I believe I can do well in those. My favorite movies are about people in crisis, especially men in crisis. I really like the movies where Ha Jung-woo has appeared a lot. I enjoy those kinds of films a lot, so I would love to work on similar projects. I have been dreaming of becoming an actor since I was young, especially after watching Director Kim's films. Especially recently, Seoul's Insurances and Asura are among my favorite movies. If you call me anytime, I will offer my services at a discounted price. Just the word discount is enough to make me excited.

I will listen to him quietly and say that I will continue when I hear that. Yes, I will continue. Here, I will shake hands with you. Yes, I enjoyed the movie today. I also enjoyed the roller coaster. Today, I'm going to watch another movie. One funny thing in the movie was when they smoked and held a chicken on an airplane. Scenes like that, which are unimaginable now, were fun back then. But I'm curious where you found those elements or stories. Yes, I looked up some newspapers from that time. There was a series called In-flight Etiquette. How flight attendants behaved in-flight, how they addressed passengers, calling them Ms. or Mr. Kim, stories about animals on board, stories about how seats were not assigned and it was first-come-first-served, stories about captains and crew members, and so on.

I've picked up various stories based on those kinds of contents, one by one, and piled them up. Yes, yes, it would be nice to talk about Yeosu again. I smoked all my cigarettes on the plane. Yes, when I first took a flight, I smoked all my cigarettes on the plane. It became a habit like that. Yes, on the fifth line. Hello, I would like to ask the directors a question. Director Kim Sung-soo, you make your remarks very interestingly, and it seems like you are a fan. I'm curious about who you are working with these days. Well, I have a question for Director Kim Sung-hwan. When there is a scene transition in the middle, I think of the appearance of the Air Force, but that's not a real event like shooting down something. It's just a reference from another country.

I'm curious about the actual involvement of the Air Force and the purpose of incorporating those scenes. Also, I'm wondering if the airplane can fly vertically and operate upside down in reality. Another question I had was, what are they doing [laughter]? Oh, I'm currently writing a screenplay. I've been writing the screenplay, and recently, as my movie has been doing well, a director who is heading in that direction suddenly started sending me a lot of scenarios. I'm reading the scenarios that have come in, and I'm writing and editing them. This weekend, I will be attending the Chuncheon Film Festival and participating in the Beat Sanghyang and also the domination. Yes, you thought of that scene transition as a fighter jet, right? Yes, so I actually hoped that the reconciliation mood between the two would be broken by doing that.

In the case of the fighter jet sequence, the first departure was a knight's line, and the fighter took off, then there was a line in the article saying that the wing was damaged when landing due to the shooting of the fighter and then exploding inside the plane. However, the content of the article is about the part where the strong wind of the captain is, and I transcribed that part into an article. So, I got some hints from that part. Oh, because there was an incident in 1969, they must have tried to block it powerfully, but it was made. And then, while ascending vertically, now turning upside down, the Imelman turn, I also received the first scenario written by the writer, oh, this went too far, the writer should think about this a bit more, I mentioned it, I mentioned it, but still, it's a really good point in terms of being cinematic, so I tried to save it somehow, and I searched a lot on YouTube because I really wanted to save it.

So, in this kind of setting, is it okay to talk about YouTube? When you watch broadcasts, they say tube, so I joined YouTube Premium and used it a lot. Now, when I searched for foreign materials, I found that the actual aircraft is not a twin-engine passenger plane, but a twin-engine transport plane, which looks exactly like the pillar in the movie. I found this out, and instead of just saying that I discovered it again, I wanted to get some verification from actual pilots about this content. When I showed it to them, they said it doesn't make sense at all. So, they might all get on and off the plane. Then, I thought I should try to express this scene more actively and decided to create the scene. Yes, that's right. I'll do it again. The person on the right holding the microphone.

Are you a man? I'm sorry, but this might be the last question. Thank you. It's the first time I've seen so many questions like this. Oh, yes. In the confined space of an airplane, the movements or vibrations of the aircraft were realistically directed to the actors. I'm curious about how you handled the artistic aspects and the aircraft set. Right now, the questions you are asking are very high-level and professional, so I'm a bit curious about the process here. The set you mentioned consists of a gimbal, a large platform where the cockpit of the airplane is placed, and the entire set is placed on it until the end of the airplane. The gimbal is a large device that moves similar to actual movements, back and forth, left and right, creating movements similar to cars or other large objects.

I created it, and also, in order to express the way the light moves like this, the lighting was set up outside. Now, going up and down, we expressed those things. In terms of artistic aspects, our art director, who has worked with Jung Woo, Soo Ri, and me, and also worked on Baekdusan before, is really great. He is a master of authenticity. This time, I asked him to break the authenticity a bit. We imported airplane seats and such, and made the entire set. It's so unfortunate because there's not much time. Still, at the end of the day, the director, well, when I go to the set, there are hardly any people. It's so sad. Why are there so many questions? It seems like there is a certain interest in this film, so please ask a few more questions. Oh, really, but that last part.

I will wrap up. You have to finish within 20 minutes, so please ask one question quickly. Yes, I watched it twice today. At first, I didn't see that part, but today, as I watched it, I felt a lot of warmth that wasn't here before. When you watch a typical hijacking movie, you can see expressions like the terrorists are going to commit a terrorist act, with a grim expression. But in the case of warmth, there is a very pure way of speaking and expression, so in fact, when the egg grandmother gave it, it seemed like that person would commit such a terror. But I wonder if that acting was ordered by Ye Jin-gu or if it reflects the director's opinion. I am curious about this. Thank you for your question.

And this friend probably had worries. For example, I will hijack a plane today, head to the north, even though he had that thought until that moment, he probably kept worrying about detonating the bomb to the end. I thought about that, and the reason is, in other words, how much has a 22-year-old really experienced in the world to be able to take such actions? It starts from such a question. I thought he was a foreigner. He couldn't fit in here or there, and there was no one who understood him as a human being. Maybe that's why he couldn't show those emotions. Yes, it's really regrettable, but I think we should finish by listening to these detailed final greetings. And well, if I may say something inadequate, starting from Kim Sung-soo, I have a special connection with Director Kim Sung-hwan, but.

While watching the movie again today, even though I was watching it, my body, I mean, not my thoughts, but my body reacted to the movie to the point where it really felt like my tension level was so high. So, I think this is truly an impressive movie that will receive a lot of love from the audience. That's why I firmly believe that this movie will be loved by the audience, and I heard it again today. Thank you for coming here in advance like this today, and I believe that if you have come this far to support this hijacking, you will support it even more. I will also support this movie even more to do well, and I am very thankful for you coming today. Thank you very much. Yes, yes, it feels really nerve-wracking, and I realized in this moment that I made the movie to meet all of you. Thank you for watching it kindly, and I ask for your continued support in the future. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming today, and please go back safely. Good feelings.

I ask for your continued support. Thank you. Today, although it's regrettable, I will end this moment by giving a big round of applause to the three of you who have given me many encouraging words. Lastly, I learned a lot from the director, not only about movies but also about life. I am still learning a lot and hope to continue learning for about 30 more years if the director allows. Thank you all very much. Then, I will really finish. Thank you.
