“A fantastic chemistry emerging from the screen… Will ‘Bogotá’ capture the audience’s hearts as well? [Summary]”

Filled with infinite affection and trust towards each other.

‘Bogotá: Land of the Last Opportunity’ team announces their takeover of the winter cinema with a fantastic team spirit. On the morning of the 6th, a production briefing session for the movie ‘Bogotá: Land of the Last Opportunity’ (hereinafter ‘Bogotá’) was held at Megabox Coex in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

Director Kim Sung-jae, along with actors Song Joong-ki, Lee Hee-jun, Kwon Hae-hyo, Park Ji-hwan, Jo Hyun-chul, and Kim Jong-soo attended the event. ‘Bogotá’ tells the story of Guk-hee (Song Joong-ki), who travels to Bogotá, Colombia, on the opposite side of the earth with new hopes right after the IMF, and entangles with Soo-young (Lee Hee-jun), a Korean society heavyweight in Bogotá, and Sergeant Park (Kwon Hae-hyo). On this day, director Kim Sung-jae commented on ‘Bogotá’ saying, “It’s about people who have gone far away,” and “Many modern society people live away from the places where they were born and raised.

And as time passes and when you return, the location is the same, but everything has changed, so it’s not the place in your mind.

I thought everyone feels the heart of leaving from something,” he said. He continued, “It’s also a story of youth who became adults too early,” adding, “It tells the story of a boy trying to survive from 1997 to 2008.

It is a drama of friendship and betrayal of a boy who became an adult early.

It’s classic, universal, and traditional.

It’s not grand.

People will resonate with it,” he confidently stated. The protagonist Guk-hee, leading the drama, is played by Song Joong-ki.

Song Joong-ki said, “There was no need to call it an epic, but the character changes according to the situation and age.

Guk-hee is the most desire-filled character among those I’ve played recently.

A bundle of desire,” noting, “It’s not hot in the beginning, but later it boils like lava.”

Focused on external changes as well.

Song Joong-ki said, “I usually don’t like wearing much on my body.

I’ve never bought accessories like watches, necklaces, earrings with my own money.

But after going to pre-production and observing Colombian people, I told the costume director, ‘How about trying earrings? Shall I cut my hair short?’

I attempted many things for the first time,” he said. ‘Bogotá’ features veteran actors such as Song Joong-ki, Lee Hee-jun, Kwon Hae-hyo, Park Ji-hwan, Jo Hyun-chul, and Kim Jong-soo, completing various characters.

Director Kim expressed satisfaction, saying, “It doesn’t feel like they just performed the roles I imagined, rather I started and they finished it,” he said, “While editing, I realized, ‘Oh, I intended to make this kind of movie.’

They are very excellent actors,” expressing satisfaction. The chemistry between the actors was fully felt at the production briefing session on this day.

The actors, who were full of endless praise towards each other, continued the pleasant atmosphere by performing various setups during the photo time.

Concluding the event, they collectively voiced their confidence and anticipation for the work.

In particular, Kwon Hae-hyo said, “Our movie portrays the life of individuals walking their own path in a world where the community has been broken.

You will be able to meet the image of us today within the movie,” he said confidently, asking for affection and interest. Meanwhile, ‘Bogotá’ will be released on the 31st. Reporter Jang Joo-yeon jang3@edaily.co.kr
