Meeting with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 30th, Byron Mann said, `Lee Je-hoon worked hard to perfect his English lines.'
Released on the same day, 'Soju War' is a story about the 1997 IMF financial crisis, the life of a soju company, the financial director Jongrok, and a global investment company employee who seeks only results, confronts the fate of the Korean people's soju.
Byron Mann played Gordon, head of Hong Kong at global investment firm Sol Queen, in 'Soju War'. Gordon is coming to Seoul to support the project to sell national treasure soju promoted by Inbeom (Lee Je-hoon). Working with Lee Je-hoon in the play, he was an actor who worked really hard in the field. He takes things seriously and takes care of them one by one. He also took several shots of the scenes he appeared with, but he didn't stop until he was satisfied with himself. I was impressed by that."
In particular, Lee Je-hoon also digested a vast amount of English dialogue in his work. Accordingly, Byronmann "It would not have been easy because 3 to 40% of the total lines were in English. You must have had little experience acting in English, but it's great that you pulled it off. From an actor's point of view, it is inevitably a burden, but he showed constant concern and concentration to accurately convey the lines"I felt that I had made up my mind to appear in the work and had been preparing fiercely and diligently," he said. When asked if he had seen the work starring Yoo Hae-jin and Lee Je-hoon, Byron Mann said, "I saw some of the work of the two actors during filming. I watched the movie starring Yoo Hae-jin 'Taxi Driver', and Lee Je-hoon's work was a drama series, although I don't remember the title.
"It is not an exaggeration to say that filming with great Korean actors is the highlight of my life," Byron Mann said at an earlier press preview. He said, "I'm not good at Korean, but I was surprised to be in a Korean movie, so I told you that it was a highlight. Filming in Korea was a great experience, and it was an unforgettable moment because I could experience Korean culture and the movie industry."I expressed my emotion.
