On the afternoon of the 25th, a press conference was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Hong-sun, who directed the event, and actors Shin Seung-hwan and Lim Joo-hwan attended the event.
The "Gangs of London" series is a British noir action series about a struggle for interest after the assassination of a godfather who dominated the organization in London. Immediately after the release of season 1, it gained explosive popularity with more than 2.23 million viewers, and it is a global box office hit with a BAFTA award and an Emmy nomination.
In season 3, South Korean coach Kim Hong-sun is drawing attention as the first Asian director to serve as the lead director. The season tells the story of hundreds of people killed across London due to fentanyl-mixed cocaine, plunging gangs into extreme chaos and Eliot Carter, a former undercover cop and now a key figure in the dark, encountering a shocking plot linked to his past while chasing the truth of the case.
At the meeting, director Kim said, `We are preparing a movie in the U.S. for the next movie.' He said, `I learned a lot by experiencing a different production system from Korea, and I want to try to enter the U.S. based on this," he added.
Meanwhile, 'Gangs of London Season 3', which first aired in the UK last month, will meet with Korean viewers through Wave from the 28th.
