Director Lee Seon-jeong said at a press and distribution preview of the movie 『Guitar Man" held at Lotte Cinema World Tower in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 21st, "Kim Sae-ron was a really professional actor. When I saw him acting, I said, `He's a born actor.'
「Guitar Man」, which will be released on the 30th, is a movie about the love, loss, and journey of a genius guitarist Ki-chul who tries to find hope through connection with music despite the harsh reality, and director Kim Jong-myeon and Lee Seon-jeong took the megaphone.
Director Lee worked with Kim Sae-ron for the first time through 'Guitar Man'. Director Lee played Ki-chul, a genius guitarist who is living on the loose due to lack of money in the play, and Kim Sae-ron played Yu-jin, a keyboardist.

There was a risk that it might not be released even after filming. But I met Kim Saeron at a meeting before filming, and he read the scenario carefully, and he came up with ideas himself for parts that need to be revised. It was really nice to see that.

When asked what kind of actor Kim Sae-ron was when he saw him on the set, director Lee replied "He was really professional when acting." In response, he "It would be frustrating to be waiting in the car, but I hardly came out. Even when there were many difficulties on the set, there were hardly any NG scenes. Of course, since we're people, we didn't have trouble either. Despite such inconvenience, he acted sweetly and well. Looking at it, I thought 'Kim Sae-ron is a natural actor. I thought he was a friend who would grow better in the future. "I had personal pain in many ways, but I think it's difficult to tell you about my personal life in person."
