Joo Won, “Worried that the sincerity might not be conveyed in ‘Firefighter’… Feelings on the release after 4 years [Interview①]”

Actor Joo Won shared his thoughts on the release of ‘Firefighter’. On the morning of the 28th, at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, an interview with Joo Won, who starred in the movie ‘Firefighter’, was conducted. Joo Won said, “Director Kwak Kyung-taek might have thought it couldn’t be released (due to the Kwak Do-Won controversy), but I was only thinking about when it would be released.” He continued, “It was very upsetting.

Since it’s a movie based on a true story, I was worried about what if the sincerity of the work isn’t conveyed?” he said, “Not only the actors and staff on set but also the firefighters present every day tried to convey their hearts, so I was worried that sincerity might not be delivered.” ‘Firefighter’ was completed filming in 2020 but was indefinitely postponed due to Kwak Do-Won’s drunk driving charges in 2022.

Back then, Kwak Do-won received a summary order of a 10 million won fine for the allegation in Jeju City. Meanwhile, ‘Firefighter’ is a story depicting the situation of firefighters, who were dispatched with the sole goal of fire suppression and rescue in the poor conditions during the Hongje-dong fire disaster incident in 2001.

It will be released on December 4. Reporter Lee Ju-in juin27@edaily.co.kr
