'Opposition' is the first work that deals with the opposition party, which exists in the background of the drug investigation but remains hidden, as the main subject. Director Hwang, who directed the movie, said, `In our movie, 'Opposition' is not a word used in politics, but a language used in drug exchanges' and described it as 'Opposition' when dividing your side to steal other pickpockets who entered your area. The term has come to the drug scene, which refers to a broker who hands over investigative records and makes financial gains", he explained.
Then, about the reason for directing the work "I received an article link from Kim Won-guk, CEO of Hive Media Corp., around 21. It was an article that a drug offender came to the prosecution office every morning to exchange information, and the opposition party in the content was at the border between legal and illegal"I thought it would be interesting from a cinematic picture, so I came up with the idea." In addition, regarding the production focus, "I wanted to convey the exhilaration of the genre at the same time as being wary of drugs."," he stressed.

Kang Ha-neul, who played the opposition Lee Kang-soo, who shakes the Korean drug market, said, `Basically when you read the scenario, if you read it all on the spot, you usually meet the work. At first, I just looked at the title and thought it was a political movie, but it wasn't. First of all, I was shocked there, and every time I turned over the script, I was curious about the next scene. There was a charm that made me keep reading."
Kang Ha-neul met with the audience with a movie 'Streaming' that will be released on the 21st. Regarding the modifier 'The Man of Spring', he said "I've never thought 'The Man of Spring', but I'm grateful "I hope many people will like the release of the two movies, coincidentally."," he said. In the meantime, "All actors will feel the same way that they want to show good works. I hope that movie becomes our movie," he said, expressing his desperation for the box office.

Yoo Hae-jin plays Koo Kwan-hee, a prosecutor who led Lee Kang-soo to the opposition party's path. Regarding the charm of the work, he was attracted by the fact that he could show the audience a movie about the opposition for the first time, as the director said. It could be an obvious movie, but I felt something fresh."
We also talked about what we cared about acting for the character in the play. Yoo Hae-jin "The representative prop that can express the prosecutor well is the plaque. He is a very ambitious prosecutor who is trying to survive and climb up from a fierce prosecution organization. I thought a lot about how to express it naturally and well without overcoming this ambition."

Park Hae-joon, who played Oh Sang-jae as a detective in the drug investigation team, is a detective who follows him to the end without letting go once he bites. Slightly different from other detective roles, Oh Sang-jae is hard to tell if he is Sarim in a drug gang or just a detective. Unlike other organizations, drug gangs paid a lot of attention to their costumes because they dress splendidly. It's not my first time playing a detective role, but I wanted to look different from my previous work."
Earlier, he met director Hwang as an acting partner, not a director and an actor, in the film 『Seoul Spring』 released in 2023. In response, Park Hae-joon said, `We talked a lot about 'opposition party' at the scene of 'Seoul Spring' with the director' and 'He kept glancing at me on set. (Jung) Woo-sung interrupted me in the middle, so I couldn't talk to him, but I think he thought to himself 'Should I cast him or not?'"I shuddered.
Ryu Kyung-soo and Chae-won also heralded an intense acting transformation. Ryu Kyung-soo plays Cho Hoon, the son of a presidential candidate, and Chae Won-bin plays Um Soo-jin, an actor who falls victim to investigative competition and falls into a swamp.

Finally, Yoo Hae-jin and Park Hae-joon enjoyed the glory of 10 million box office hits through their previous works. Yoo Hae-jin said, `Thank you to the audience for showing a lot of love for the 'Pillage' and the 'Spring of Seoul'. 'Opposition' is also fortunate to have a good story in terms of his work. "The number 10 million seems to be given by heaven." I hope this movie goes well, too," he said of the wind. Park Hae-joon also said, "I also tasted it once with 'Seoul Spring' and it became addictive. Therefore, even in the 'opposition party', he expressed his confidence, saying, `I am greedy for 10 million points.'
