In particular, the Busan International Film Festival also prepared a special planning program to honor the late Lee Sun-kyun. In the special program 'Paju', 'Our Seonhee', 'We Go to the End', 'Parasite', 'Land of Happiness', and 'My Mister', we will have time to look back on the world of in-depth works through special talk.



Cho Jung-seok and Yoo Jae-myung, who shared the film 'Land of Happiness', recalled the late Lee Sun-kyun from the scene at CGV Centum City in Haeundae-gu, Busan on the 3rd.

Cho Jung-seok "I felt when I was working with Sun-kyun this time, but when I was filming, I was more focused than anyone else. The first thing that comes to mind is the fierce and intense approach. "When the staff prepared for the next angle, they were good at ice breaking with small talk and took good care of me. That's what I remember most about you," he said. We were very close and had fun, to the point where Yoo Jae-myung also thought "Our set is a country of happiness." We filmed it with a smile as immature naughty men gathered together."

The two, who recalled their memories with the deceased, were unable to speak for a moment as if they were choked up before the event was over. Cho Jung-seok "Actually, I was so sad at first, but I just don't think I can see him often now. I feel like I'm going to be somewhere," he said with difficulty, and Yoo Jae-myung said "I've been holding up well, but I'm also a little dangerous.' At the same time, a comment came out that "'If you miss a movie, you can watch it again, but if you miss a person, you can't watch it again.'" "If you want to see Sun Gyun, you can watch our movie. It's like a gift."

On the same day, Cho Jin-woong also talked about his most memorable chemistry with the late Lee Sun-kyun in 'Special Talk: Remembering Ko Sun-kyun - Going to the End' held at Lotte Cinema Centum City branch in Haeundae-gu.

After filming the action scene, Cho Jin-woong looked in the mirror and changed his clothes. The bruises from yesterday remain the same, but there are a few new ones in between. Then I thought it was a wound of glory, saying 'We did something' with my brother. I think I'm kind of the same. When you were shooting the action scene, you suddenly screamed, so you did like this?I said ', but it turned out that my ribs were cracked. My knee got stuck in (Lee Sun-kyu's ribs). I told my brother 'You should have told me', but I laughed because I said there would have been no way to do it'I think every scene of 'I go to the end' is memorable' he said. Then "My brother is a very good brother. I don't have a real brother, but while I was working on it, I felt that I had a real brother, and I gave advice, encouragement, and support to each other while watching each other's performances"He also expressed his special feelings.

Cho Jin-woong, who said his last greeting, said of Lee Sun-kyun, "I will keep remembering it. I hope you remember that, too"He eventually shed tears.
