Actor Song Joong-ki talked about his relationship with his mother-in-law.

On the afternoon of the 19th, a press distribution preview and press conference of the movie 『Bogota』 was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Director Song Joong-ki, Lee Hee-joon, Kwon Hae-hyo, Park Ji-hwan, Kim Jong-soo and Kim Sung-je attended the event.

The movie has the real name 'Bogota' as the title of the movie. The city, the capital of Colombia, was actually considered a very dangerous area until the early 90s and appeared as the backdrop for popular American dramas such as 'Narcos'.




Director Kim Sung-je responded to concerns about Bogota's portrayal in the movie, saying, `I'm not worried that I'll get caught up in gossip"I tried to use criminal elements when dealing with narratives with realistic materials and details rather than intentions to undermine the image of the country."

He added, "'I talked a lot with local productions in Bogota, maybe because I came from the United States and made a more rugged kind of movie there, so I responded to the question that I was concerned about, so I remember it.'"

In particular, Song Joong-ki revealed his special relationship with Bogota, saying, "My mother-in-law is Colombian." Song Joong-ki remarried Katie Louise Sounders, a former British actor, last year, and was born this year following her birth in June last year.




He said "There's a lot of my wife's family living there"Colombia, where I lived, was very exciting, friendly, and the food was crazy. It was so delicious."People have a lot of affection and are not that old image at all, but I've seen people's efforts to get out of that image." "So I have a lot of memories of having a lot of fun while filming, and above all, I felt it was a friendly place because I had my family," he recalled, drawing attention.

In addition, Song Joong-ki said "You can easily get a lot of information these days, including travel YouTubers, even though YouTube didn't develop much when we were shooting." `Now I think the bad image has been erased. Thanks to those thoughts, I'm thinking less that our movie will look bad," he added.

"Bogota: Land of the Last Chance" is a movie about Gukhee (Song Joong-ki), who heads to Bogota, Colombia, on the other side of the world with a new hope shortly after the IMF, intertwines with Sooyoung (Lee Hee-joon) and Byeong-jang (Kwon Hae-hyo), influential figures in the Korean community in Bogota. Song Joong-ki, Lee Hee-joon, Kwon Hae-hyo, Park Ji-hwan, Cho Hyun-chul and Kim Jong-soo appeared.
