The movie has become one of the hot topics at the Toronto International Film Festival. The official programmers of the Film Festival are in the middle of the discussion, and Hyun Bin and Lee Dong Wook have a deep discussion about the movie "Harbin" and the Korean film industry.
Hyun Bin said, "Harbin is a movie that you have to see in theaters," hinting at his confidence in the work, and commented that the role of An Jung-geun is played by Press.
He said, "I accepted the role because I thought it would be a rare opportunity for me to play a great person as an actor," and added, "This is not a story about An Jung-geun alone, but about all the people who are rooted in this land."
Lee Dong Wook said, "I wanted to appear in a work about such a great person as An Jung-geun, even if it was just a small role."
After the event, Hyun Bin, Lee Dong Wook, and Director Woo Min Ho attended the second official screening, which was a global viewing experience.
Above all, the audience was impressed by the film's immersiveness and storytelling, which made historical understanding easier to understand, even though the material was from the Japanese colonial period.
At the Q&A session after the movie, audience members of all nationalities asked questions, such as "How did you feel about playing a real person?" and "How did you interpret and prepare for the character?"
"I was asked questions and answers such as, 'What was the difficulty in choosing the subject matter for the film?'" Hyun Bin said, "I was asked questions and answers such as, 'What was the difficulty in choosing the subject matter for the film?'"
"I wouldn't have been able to endure it without Jeongmin, Jo Woo-jin, actress Jeon Yeo Bin, actor Park Hoon, and You Chae Myung," he said, showing his affection for the film.
Ng Wook said, "Filming 'Harbin' gave me the opportunity to think more about the independence army who sacrificed themselves for the country."
The event, which featured a Q&A session, ended with endless cheers from the audience. Meanwhile, the film "Harbin" tells the story of people who head to Harbin in 1909 for one purpose, and those who follow them.
"Harbin" is a spy action film that depicts the tense pursuit and suspicion of those involved. It is expected to be released in Korea in December after the Toronto International Film Festival.
