Lee Hee-joon met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 23rd and said, `Song Joong-ki knows how to see the whole scene like a producer,' `Like Tom Cruise, he strives for a high degree of completion of the movie.'
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. In the play, Lee Hee-joon postponed Suyeong, the No. 2 Korean smuggling market and customs broker.
Lee Hee-jun expressed his feelings about working with Song Joong-ki for the first time through 'Bogota'. Cho Joong-ki is an actor who can see the whole scene like a producer. If there is a nervous foreign minor role, I go and soothe him, and I tell the director that it would be better to make the actors comfortable. In a way, it may seem like a nosy thing, but I really care about every single one of them. Like Tom Cruise, he strives for a high degree of completion of the film. I don't dare to do that because it's too much for me to do it.'"And I had to film a scene of a party in the pool, but even then, I suddenly got sick and had a lot of fever. In order to capture the fun atmosphere on camera, we had to take time to greet each other in advance, but since I was sick and couldn't do it, Joong-gi took care of it for me."
When asked if he felt pressured about filming the location in Colombia, Lee Hee-jun said, `I was worried because it was my first time working with overseas staff"'Ready, Action' is done once in Spanish and once in English. Even when the camera is ready to set up, it takes a long time before the shooting starts. It takes about 15 to 20 seconds, and that part was both fresh and burdensome. It felt like I was doing some systematic work internationally. The rice truck was prepared separately for Colombian and Korean staff."
