Co-star Han Seok Kyu added: “In 1998, when the film Swiri remiered, I toured the nation with 50 rolls of film. Now, movies can premiere in 800 screens at the most. This means that Korean films have become grander in scale, and I’m thankful that so many people have shown their love for Korean films.”
Super Junior’s Siwon, who walked the carpet with bandmates Kangin and Donghae, said: “I came here thanks to the invitation of [the film’s] Ryu Seung Beom and Ha Jung Woo hyungmin [big brother].”

Before going in to the screening, director Ryu Seung Wan played it cool when asked about his hopes for the film. “It’s not very good to have high expectations… however It′s a film in which great actors put on some great acting. It will be better if you enjoy how the actors put on their acting.”
