Director Kim Hyung-joo (45) said, "I was attracted to the dramatic story of Cho Hoon-hyun and Lee Chang-ho."

Director Kim Hyung-joo, who directed the human drama film 『Buddhist』 (produced by Moonlight). On the morning of the 21st, he met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and announced the reason for directing 'Victory'.

Head coach Kim Hyung-joo said, `It's really full of emotions when we're about to open. I'm glad that it will be released in theaters again. "The Netflix release was decided after changing from the original theatrical release, but I didn't think I would have a chance to see the movie in theaters at that time, so I rented the theater, asking for the last presentation with actors and staff. After that, I watched the movie again according to the Netflix OTT platform, but the details were not well contained on a small screen. Then, as the movie was released again, it was good to see the actors' acting and details better and see a lot of them on the screen. I'm satisfied as a director because it's a movie I worked on for a theater in the first place."




The reason why I chose the Go movie in the second movie is that "Go" cannot be explained in the movie at all, but first of all, I think it's the main story of Cho Hoon-hyun and Lee Chang-ho, so I'm attracted to it a lot by itself. "I decided to challenge this work because I thought that if I could follow the emotions of the characters in the drama if I could just give a kind explanation and catch the flow of the game well for the audience who doesn't know how to play Go."

'Victory' is a story about Korea's best Go legend, Cho Hoon-hyun, who once again challenges the top with his natural temperament as a adventurer after losing a match against his student. Lee Byung-hun, Yoo Ah-in, Ko Chang-seok, Hyun Bong-sik, Moon Jung-hee, and Kim Kang-hoon appeared, and director Kim Hyung-joo of 'Security' took the megaphone. It will be released on the 26th.
