Moon Yoo-gang met with this newspaper at the Sports Chosun headquarters in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the 5th and said, `Rather than receiving advice from Jungwoo Ha seniors, I saw and learned in person at the filming site.'
Moon Yu-kang worked with his uncle Jungwoo Ha for the first time in the movie 'Hijacking'. He said "Actually, Jungwoo Ha senior didn't know I was cast. Later, the director contacted me separately that the work went like this. I think you felt proud when you were contacted at the time. When I was young, my senior watched me all the way into school after deciding to act. After joining the same company, he heard that I was doing a play and filming a drama and thought 'Yu Kang is walking well at his own pace. He's also a senior at my school. There is a scholarship that seniors select and give each student, and I got it after I was discharged from the military. My senior suddenly said he was surprised that my name was on the scholarship award list. Over time like this, I was able to appear in the same work and talked a lot about the past, but I felt good and embarrassed," he said with a smile.

At the time of the interview for the drama 'Mental Coach Jegal-gil', I said I wanted to appear in a work with Jungwoo Ha, but I didn't know that day would come so soon. The work I filmed after 'Mental Coach Zhuge Gil' was 'Hijacking'. Sometimes modifiers such as someone's nephew and son were heavy and felt like homework to me. At the beginning of my debut, I felt burdened when such questions came in, but as time passed and I worked on the work, I changed my mind as I acted happily with many seniors. In a way, it was Kim Yong-gun and Jungwoo Ha who opened the beginning of my acting. Without them, I wondered if I could have dreamed of becoming an actor. Of course, it would be a lie if I didn't feel burdened at all, but I want to walk silently at my pace with gratitude" he expressed his bold ambition.
'Hijacking' is a film about extreme conditions caused by air hijacking over Korea in 1971, and is Kim Sung-han's directorial debut. Moon Yoo-gang played Chang-bae, an in-flight sheriff, in the play.
