'Magpie' is a spin-off of the 2023 Netflix film 'Gil Bok-soon' (director Byun Sung-hyun). Director Lee Tae-sung said, "If Gil Bok-soon (Jeon Do-yeon) and Cha Min-gyu (Seol Kyung-gu) are in the first generation, "Warts" is a movie that tells the story of the next generation."Gil Bok-soon" was released on Netflix, and the reaction was explosive. There was only a character named Warts, who was only mentioned as an ambassador, but it was almost blank. That's where the story began, and director Byun Sung-hyun and I were careful because we had no experience working on a scenario with anyone. First of all, we had time to find out what each other thought about the work together."

Im Ji-wan, who played Hanul, an A-class killer of natural talent, said, "Isn't the presence of warts in the text of " Gil Bok-soon". At that time, director Byun Sung-hyun contacted me asking if he could appear as a voice as a mantis, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. Since then, I have been given the name Warts. In a way, I wonder if the work 'Warts' was meant to have had no choice but to participate from birth. Since then, I've been waiting for the filming of 'Warts' to be destined," he said. Then "Hanul can be seen as a representative killer of MZ." As MZ is a keyword, there is a desire to break away from the existing style and reveal individual personality," he added.
When it comes to acting, it may seem professionally a villain or a dark role, but on the contrary, he is a stable character with warmth. I think I have to hide that warmth because of my professional nature, so I deliberately say it more tingly and curtly", he explained.
In addition, Lim Si-wan was the only actor wearing a green-colored costume and attending a production briefing, drawing attention. He said "If I were to explain about the clothes, I decided to wear them because I thought they were similar in color to 'warts" I would never stand out by myselfI didn't mean to stand out or enjoy the rich movie. "Next time, if there's a dress code, I'll do it faithfully."," he said with a smile.

Park Kyu-young, who plays Hanul's longtime friend and rival Jay, was a huge fan of "Gil Bok-soon". I've seen it five to six times over and over again. While sharing the same world view with the spin-off (of'Gil Bok-soon', I thought of course I should appear if I could exist as a character"First of all, I really wanted to participate because it was a valuable opportunity to work with my seniors," he said.
He then introduced his role, "'Jay is offered a partnership by Hanul and decides to become the number one in the industry.'" At the same time, he has complex and subtle feelings about Hanul's talent, which is superior to him.'

Cho Woo-jin, who turned into a retired legendary killer Dokgo, said, `This work was destined for me, too. I experienced director Byun Sung-hyun's unique directing skills in his previous work (the movie 'Kingmaker', and I was happy to hear that he was participating in the movie. It was also good to hear that director Lee Tae-sung, who has excellent field control and directing skills as well as hosting skills, will debut with this work. I was also grateful to the CEO of the production company for making me pay attention to acting as an actor. I have always admired the passionate energy of Lim Si-wan and Park Kyu-young on the screen. It was good to share a fighting and healthy energy with the actors."
He also mentioned his efforts to increase the synchronicity with the character. Cho Woo-jin is a character who leans on the Bonsang team and the costume team. They made it so well. Dokgo is a contemporary of Gil Bok-soon and Cha Min-gyu. After retiring, I'm enjoying my retirement free, and I'm about to rebuild after hearing that MK has collapsed. He goes out to show himself that he is not dead yet because he doesn't want to be treated like an `old man in the back room' , adding "He put the flesh he gained in the previous film 'Gangnam B-Side on his grandfather character." It was easy to draw because it was a reliable and charismatic character, and I tried to draw a character with pride and complex."

Finally, 'warts' was released around the same time as the SBS drama 'warts: The killer's outing' (hereinafter 'warts') of the same name, drawing attention. Shim Ji-wan said, "People who watched the drama 'Warts' told me why I'm not coming out. First of all, I'd like to say I'm sorry (laughs). I don't appear in the drama 'Warts'. It only appears in the movie, but Ko Hyun-jung does not appear in the movie. I watched the drama 'Warts', and I found a big difference. The `Warts' played by Ko Hyun-jung is vicious. On the other hand, Hanul is humane and nice, but "I'm confident that I'll never be left behind" he said.
