Actor Kim Tae-woo expressed his feelings about reuniting with the actors of the movie 「Joint Security Area」 after a long time.

At the CJ ENM 30th Anniversary Biggernery held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 4th, Kim Tae-woo said, "'JSA' GV (Conversation with the Audience), the youngest member of the 51 year old Shin Ha-kyun was absent, so I attended as the youngest member of the group."

Director Park Chan-wook's film 'JSA', released in 2000, contributed to a change in public perception of inter-Korean relations by unraveling the reality of division with a human perspective. In addition, actors representing Korea, including Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Lee Young-ae and Kim Tae-woo, received enthusiastic reviews from the audience as their performances were added. Director Park Chan-wook, Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Lee Young-ae, and Kim Tae-woo had time to reflect on the meaning of the work through the GV held on this day.




In the play, Kim Tae-woo, who played the role of Nam Seong-sik, the successor of Lee Soo-hyuk (Lee Byung-hun), greeted the audience, saying, `I'm so happy to attend the honor.' `The time has passed for the private first class, and I'm over 50 years old, but Shin Ha-kyun, the youngest 51-year-old, couldn't come today, so I became the youngest.'

As for how he joined the work, he said, "I happened to see the scenario first. I wanted to participate because I was in charge of production at Myung Films, the producer of my debut film 'Connection'"After watching the movie today, "JSA in the Joint Security Area" seems like a piece of heaven's luck to me."He expressed his special affection for the work.

Meanwhile, global IP powerhouse CJ ENM announced its 30th anniversary selection of Visionary, expressing its willingness to open a new chapter of K-culture in the future as well as the past 30 years. Since 2020, irreplaceable people who present a new vision based on their own originality in all fields of Korean pop culture, such as broadcasting, movies, music, and entertainment, have been selected as visionaries. In particular, this year, in commemoration of the 30th anniversary, we prepared a time to illuminate the buzzernery's selected works, and 'JSA' was named in the film category.
