Song Joong-ki met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 23rd and debuted at the late age of 26"I think my mother must have suffered a lot when she saw me like that."
Song Joong-ki made his debut in 2008 with the movie 「Ssanghwa Branch」, and has already become an actor in his 16th year. He made his debut at the age of 26 while attending university. Sometimes when I interview, I meet my classmates at Sungkyunkwan University. All of my friends returned to school after serving in the military and graduated very quickly were at the age of starting their social life. But I started acting as an assistant because I didn't want to go to the army, but I haven't made a stable choice since then. I sent her to a good university because she studied hard, and she suddenly said she was going to learn, so she must have suffered a lot (laughs). If you're going to go on a stable path, you'd have taken a press examination with my friends. Thankfully, it was time for the main role to come in, and he appeared in the drama 'Deep Root Tree'. The work itself was so good, and I felt something filling up. Even though I'm not good enough, I decided to choose my own work even if I had more experience," he said.
In particular, 'Bogota: Land of Last Chance' (hereinafter 'Bogota') cranked up in 2020, but its release date was delayed due to COVID-19. In response, Song Joong-ki was able to meet the family members who he loved so much 'Vincenzo' by meeting 'Bogota'. While filming 'Bogota', COVID-19 broke out unexpectedly and the filming was stopped. At that time, the producer I worked with before contacted me, and he gave me the script saying that he had not found the main character of 'Vincenzo'. Thanks to this, I met a very grateful relationship."
Then when asked about the burden of the box office 'Bogota', he "Of course there is. For example, the production cost is 10 billion won, and if it was my money, I wouldn't have paid much attention, but isn't it a movie made with the money invested by others. Also, I think it is too irresponsible if I only put my personal desire in it because I play the main character and work for money. Therefore, people in this industry should not do bad things, nor should they do anything that harms them.'"In conclusion, I want to achieve results too much, but I feel that I can't do what I want every time."
Released on the 31st, 'Bogota' is a story about Kook-hee (Song Joong-ki) heading to Bogota, Colombia, on the other side of the world, immediately after the IMF, becoming entangled 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 plays Kook-hee, a young man who dreams of the lowest to the highest.
