Song Joong-ki met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 23rd and said, "'Bogota: Land of Last Chance' was a Colombian all-location method, so I wanted to challenge myself.'"
Released on the 31st, 'Bogota: Land of the Last Chance' (hereinafter 'Bogota') is a story about Kook-hee (Song Joong-ki) heading to Bogota, Colombia, on the other side of the world with new hope immediately after the IMF, intertwines with Sooyoung (Lee Hee-joon) and Byeong-jang Park (Kwon Hae-hyo), influential figures in the Korean community in Bogota. Director Kim Sung-je of the movie 『Minority Opinion』 took the megaphone.
Song Joong-ki said "It was the last Korean movie of the year, so I wanted to do it well. It's been a while since I've said hello, but it's nice just to be released. I'm not pretending to be really humble, but because it took that long to be released, I wanted to say hello responsibly and well as an actor."
Regarding the reason for choosing the work, "There was a lot of attraction in Colombia in the part of filming in an all-location method" When I first received the script, there were many Spanish lines, and some of the scenes were edited. This work stimulated me to take on new challenges. I thought it was an experience I couldn't do without this opportunity. I also wanted to participate after hearing that director Kim Sung-je is directing. I enjoyed watching the director's 'Minor Opinion' and thought that as the scale of the work has grown again, a dense story could come out", he explained.
Song Joong-ki played Kook-hee, a young man who dreams of the lowest to the highest in the play. He showed a wide spectrum of acting from teenagers to 30s, saying, `Externally, the main section is when Kook-hee adapted to the local area. I had a lot of thoughts about how to express that part"I followed the production team because they wanted to go to Colombia during pre-production on purpose, but when I saw the local people, I came up with various ideas. For example, I asked to cut my hair short, tried earrings or necklaces, and when I wore earrings, I thought that it would be the first time I could show the audience. I went to a local company and actually pierced my ears. My ears were torn when I filmed the action, but I heard that women actually have a lot of that experience. Also, when the costume manager first brought the clothes, I thought 'Does this make sense?' but when I went there, it made sense. I thought that the points I thought were excessive could be appropriate rather than excessive.'
