Oct 17, 2024

Actor Kwak Do-won, who temporarily suspended his activities due to drunk driving, will return to the screen with the movie 'Firefighter'. It is reported that Kwak Do-won's volume is edited as much as possible without affecting the work.

Today (17th) the movie 'Firefighter' distributor By4M Studio announced that the movie 'Firefighter' has confirmed its theatrical release in December.

In addition, the first poster was released. The first poster released catches the eye of firefighters who are breaking through the strong flames. In particular, the phrase 'Courage to Save' is added to this, raising questions about how firefighters who will fight the fire with fearless courage until the end will be contained in the work.

The movie "Firefighter" is directed by Kwak Kyung-taek, who captures the sincerity of a true story. In fact, the story of the western fire station, which was dispatched to extinguish a fire in Hongje-dong in 2001, depicts an urgent scene containing the sweat and tears of firefighters who were deployed with a single goal of saving power in poor environments.

Previously, 'Firefighter' was scheduled to be released after all filming in 2020, but its release was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later, in September 2022, Kwak Do-won was caught asleep on the road while driving under the influence of alcohol on Jeju Island, and the film's release was delayed once again.

At that time, Kwak Do-won's blood alcohol concentration was 0.158%, which was confirmed to be above the license cancellation level (0.08). When the drunk driving incident became known, Kwak Do-won stopped all activities and moved out of Jeju Island. It is known that he stayed on Jeju Island for a while and then stayed in Malaysia and Southeast Asia to consider when to return.

Meanwhile, 'Firefighters' is a work depicting the situation of firefighters who were put in with a single goal of extinguishing fire and saving power even in poor environments during the Hongje-dong fire disaster in 2001. Joo Won, Kwak Do-won, Yoo Jae-myung, Lee Yoo-young, Kim Min-jae, Oh Dae-hwan, Lee Joon-hyuk, and Jang Young-nam appeared, and director Kwak Kyung-taek of the `Friends' series grabbed the megaphone. It will be released in December.
