Lee Je-hoon said "This opportunity is not common because Yoo Hae-jin said he would do this work, so I enjoyed reading the scenario with the expectation of being able to do it together. The actors were so perfect for the character that I chose it because I thought that if we all came together and formed an ensemble, an interesting and fun work could come out."
Lee Je-hoon then mentioned Yoo Hae-jin's role in the play and said, "The motto of this character is that the company is life, but when I see you, the movie is life." Then "I developed my dream of becoming an actor while watching my senior's work. I can't believe we're together like this??C. There was a moment when I confronted and built friendships with this work, and I was amazed and surprised while acting. My senior gave me a lot of stimulation, so I was able to get my character in line with my feet and come out with a new look. I love this piece."
