JooWon, star of the movie ”Firefighter,” said, ”I changed a lot before and after filming... I think about the hardships and dedication of firefighters.”

Actor JooWon revealed that her perception of the profession of firefighter changed after filming the movie "Firefighter" (directed by Kwak Kyung-taek).
On the morning of the 8th, director Kwak Kyung-taek and actor Kim Jong-un attended the production presentation for the movie "Firefighter" held at the CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul.
Yu JooWon, You Chae Myung, Lee YuYoung, Kim Min Jae, Oh DaeHwan, Lee JunHyuk and Jang Young Nam were in attendance and talked about the project.
However, actor Kwak Do Won, who has been in controversy due to the drunk driving allegations, did not attend the event.
"Firefighter," which is scheduled to be released for the first time in four years, is based on the real-life Hongje-dong fire disaster that occurred in South Korea in 2001.
The story depicts the plight of firefighters who are deployed in harsh conditions with the sole goal of putting out the fire and rescuing everyone. JooWon plays a rookie firefighter who is deployed to the Western Fire Station for the first time in "Firefighter."
In this role, JooWon portrays the desperate efforts and struggles of firefighters. Regarding the changes she experienced before and after filming the drama, she said, "I changed a lot before and after filming," and "I was able to see the children's reactions and feelings.
"I remember that the firefighters were so cool that I would always be happy just to see a fire truck," he said. "Actually, I had forgotten about it after I became an adult, but when I saw the script for the movie,
After that, when I heard a siren going by or saw a fire engine, I started to think about it more,” he said. “I became aware of their environment, so I started to think about their hardships and dedication, and I started to think about the fire engines.
"I think I've changed a lot since I made the movie 'Dragon Warrior,'" he said, expressing his respect for firefighters. He also expressed his respect and affection for director Kwak Kyung-taek.
He said, "Since high school, I was a student who nurtured dreams by watching director Kwak Kyung-taek's films.
So it was a great honor to work with him," he said. "When I work on other projects, people say I'm like a father to them, but Director Kwak is like a mother to me.
"When I was directing my acting, he said, 'That's amazing. Your acting is so good,' and it was a really wonderful experience.
"It was a place where I could experience the world of fire and light, and I was able to experience it for a long time," he said, expressing his affection for the film. The film "Firefighter" will be released in Korea on December 4th.
