Director Kim Sung-je confessed his honest feelings ahead of the release of the movie 'Bogota: Land of Last Chance'.

Director Kim Sung-je met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 23rd and said, `It's been a long time since I've shown the movie to the audience,' and `When I see the results, I always feel lacking and regret as a director.'

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.




Director Kim said, `It's been a long time since I showed the movie to the audience,' adding, `There was a story in it, and I'm nervous and afraid to be asked questions by many people in a moment after working silently in indifference for a long time. I'm not like this. I've been working for 30 years. This is the first time I've thought about this" he said.

In particular, Song Joong-ki, the leading actor, filmed 'Bogota' before his previous works 'Hwaran' and 'Rogi-wan', but he was the latest to appear. In response, director Kim recently watched "In fact "Hwaran" and "Rogi-wan" and "The youngest son of a rehab house". I couldn't watch it when it was released. It was hard just to look at the still. In fact, 'Bogota' is a work that captures his long time changes, so if the approach is similar, it is a little upsetting. As many of you may have seen, all directors are bungled cowfish (laughs). When working on this work, Song Joong-ki and Lee Hee-jun wanted to capture their own personality and temperament in the work."

When asked about his satisfaction with the completed result, Kim said, `I'm always embarrassed and disappointed. I can only see the parts that I can't do. I did my best as much as I could, but that's what I thought, and isn't there a belated realization. He also felt cruel to his lack of talent. Since it is a work I made, I am not good at self-objectification, but I want to discover virtues and fill in the shortcomings by watching the audience's reactions later."
