Director Kim Sung-je met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 23rd and said, `Song Joong-ki obtained a bus license in Korea to drive a big truck in 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.
Song Joong-ki drew the attention of those who digested a vast amount of Spanish lines in the play. In response, director Kim said "Song Joong-ki has a good sense of language. I cast without knowing that, but since I'm a top star, I filmed a lot of advertisements and knew a lot from overseas stars. He himself said he felt awkward doing Spanish lines, but he didn't feel that way at all to others," he praised.
In particular, director Kim was surprised by saying that Song Joong-ki obtained a bus license in Korea for the scene of trucking. He said "Song Joong-ki drives a huge truck in the movie, and he got his bus license in Korea because of the scene. They were all actually driven by themselves. Song Joong-ki also suggested the half-length hair first. I would never have had such a hairstyle in my life, but I was so grateful from the director's point of view. It was difficult to propose it easily because it was not a characteristic supporting character but a main character, but he must have put a lot of effort into it. "Other actors also worked hard for the work. Song Joong-ki, Lee Hee-joon, and Kwon Hae-hyo had been in Colombia a month before filming. Actually, it's not easy to do that. I didn't come in a week or two before filming, and I had a hard time learning the set in advance through production," he said.
