While filming, I asked Soji Arai (Korean name Park So-hee, played by Mo So-soo), who acted a lot together because he was a person living in a different generation throughout the shoot, about Zainichi's life. I think I cried at some point while listening to her. So I'm so grateful to learn that and listen to the real stories behind history. You didn't know too much about their lives, you didn't know the government, you lived in a time you didn't know too much about them. So I learned as much as I could while filming. In addition to what we learned in history class..."
