Director Ryu said at the press and distribution premiere of the movie 'Veteran2' held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 9th, `The local audience responded better than I thought.'
'Veteran 2', which will be released on the 13th, is a sequel to the box office hit 'Veteran', which attracted 13.41 million viewers, and it is an action crime investigation drama that pursues a serial killer who caused a stir in the world when the youngest detective Park Sun-woo joins veteran Seo Do-cheol's violent crime investigation team to catch the bad guys until the end. Following the previous episode, coach Ryu Seung-wan took the megaphone.
'Veteran2' was officially invited to the Midnight Screening category at the 77th Cannes International Film Festival in May. Afterwards, he was officially invited to the special presentation section of the 49th Toronto International Film Festival held on the 5th, confirming his second screening move.
Director Ryu, who directed the film, arrived in Korea yesterday after going to the Toronto Film Festival. I went on a shorter trip than the Busan International Film Festival"Fortunately, the local audience responded well. Toronto's atmosphere was slightly subdued due to the Korean Wave strike until last year, but this year, the theater was full of audiences."
Then "I think the audience recognized 'Veteran2' as a movie with a strong humor code than I thought." There was another reason why I was personally moved, and the audience told me that it felt like they had seen 'Russelweppon' for the first time. "It was an honor to mention my favorite police series. However, the important thing is to meet with Korean audiences starting today.
