He continued, "Director Heo Myung-haen has been active as an action director for over 20 years, including the past three films in the series.
When asked why he offered the role to direct, and what he paid special attention to in the action scenes, which get more powerful with each series, he said, "With Heo Myung-hyeon, we could just look each other in the eye without saying a word.
"We're good friends and can communicate well, so I thought I'd trust him to do a good job," he said, explaining his relationship with director Heo and the reason for the offer.
I wanted to change the intensity and impression depending on the tone of the action, so in the previous work I used a lot of light and fast-paced action, but in this work I used boxing action with a heavy feel.
