I came after a long wait. Director Woo Min-ho will return to the movie 'Harbin' after four years to deliver a heavy message with the actors.

On the 27th, 'Harbin' held a production briefing at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and told the story of the work. Actors Hyun Bin, Park Jung-min, Cho Woo-jin, Jeon Yeo-bin, Park Hoon, Yoo Jae-myung, Lee Dong-wook and Woo Min-ho attended the scene to tell stories about the work.

Released on Dec. 25, 「Harbin」 is a 1909 film about the breathtaking pursuit and doubt between those heading to Harbin and those who pursue it for one purpose, directed by Woo Min-ho of"Insiders" and"Namsan's managers" took the megaphone.



Through the screening of the 49th Toronto International Film Festival, 'Harbin' was well received worldwide and emerged as the most anticipated film this winter. Director Woo finished "Namsan's managers" and made a firm commitment not to shoot a period drama again because it was so hard"After that, I happened to see Ahn Jung-geun's book and the Hive Mediakov scenario, and my heart was moving. I felt that it would be the hardest work I've ever produced, and I started with some determination" he said.

Actors and actresses will also lead the audience into 1909 with sincere acting. Hyun Bin, who played Ahn Jung-geun, the chief of staff of the Korean Medical Corps, said, `I vividly recall the time when I had my first meeting with the director after he was offered my work.' `The director's passion for the work was released, so I could do a meaningful work with him.'It occurred to me that ' There was also the burden and responsibility of playing a real person, but on the other hand, it was an honor to play such a meaningful person. The director's sincere energy was stronger at the scene, and I was greatly influenced." Thinking of the filming process, he then traveled 16 hours by car from Mongolia Airport and arrived at the lake, and the weather was minus 40 degrees Celsius. Rather than being physically difficult, it was good to be immersed in the situation when I lay down alone. I thought, 'What a good trip you went to.'"



Director Woo talked about why he cast Hyun Bin in the role of Ahn Jung-geun. He said "Of course, it must have been a burden for an actor"As I said earlier, I expected this movie to be really hard to film, so I thought it would be nice to have an actor with the physical strength to endure the difficulty. I thought Hyun Bin was Ahn Jung-geun soon, and I believed that he would endure and overcome even if it was hard"showed his confidence.

Park Jung-min played Woo Deok-soon, a prestigious independence army who thought of the country before him. He said "It snowed a lot when shooting the movie, but it snowed a lot today, so I think it's fate."



Regarding the part that focuses on acting, "It is difficult to play an existing character because he has to express sensitively and delicately"There are not many materials left, so I prepared by talking a lot with the director. There is also an out-of-print book that records the trial with Cho Do-sun, and I tried to refer to it while looking at it."

Jo Woo-jin played Kim Sang-hyun, who threw himself for the country's independence with Woo Deok-soon. Director Woo Min-ho and director Woo Min-ho reunited with the movie `The Insiders' followed by `Harbin`. He then went on to "Sometimes I skip the review stage and choose a work while acting, and this work was like that. I said I would do it first before I read the script. When the director is preparing a piece called 'Harbin', and Kim Sang-hyun has a difficult role, and he thinks you can do well, 'Yes, I will' he said. But when I saw the script, I thought 'Oh my gosh, I'm in trouble' It was such a difficult role, he said. "The director gave me detailed directions, so I found great reward when I acted."

Jeon Yeo-bin was an independent military scholar with dignity and determination in Vladivostok. After five months of location filming in Mongolia, he said "We filmed for a quite long time, and it was not a comfortable road, so everyone had a hard time and environment. Nevertheless, there was a strange feeling that I could feel in the middle of the desert. I felt loneliness and loneliness on the endless stretch of land like the sea horizon, and there were moments of reflection and consideration as being," he said.

Jeon Yeo-bin commented on the reason why she worked passionately on the shooting, saying, `If our first filming location was Seoul, I wonder if we could feel such a strong sense of camaraderie and solidarity. Going through these spaces reminded me of the minds of the independence forces who ran in the field of Manchuria at the time. I thought that this was really nothing compared to the hardships they went through."

The role of Tatsuo Mori, a Japanese army post who pursues the independence forces' actions and contrasts intensely with them, was played by Park Hoon. Yoo Jae-myung played the role of Choi Jae-hyung, who supports the funds and residence of independent soldiers, and Lee Dong-wook played the role of Lee Chang-seop, an independent soldier who is in conflict with Ahn Jung-geun.

Finally, it also mentioned the difference between 'Harbin', which was born as a new style of independent military film. Director Woo wanted to show a new image by focusing on the fear and camaraderie they must have felt beyond the Ahn Jung-geun image of 'hero that we knew. I wanted to capture the general's heart sublimely in the vast land and Mother Nature. I hope many people come to the theater and feel that together"I asked for expectations.
